Russia a "second-rate" military power?

It’s one of those cases where there are risks on both paths. There is an inherent risk in escalating tensions with a nuclear power. There is also risk in setting a precedent of acquiescence with one. Basically we need to fear one another just the right amount. Not too much or too little.

 

Russian redoviks, their regular Army soldiers, they don't even use optical sights. They never heard of EOTech, Red Dots, ACOGs and etc. They use freaking iron sights, like in World War II. Call that advancement. If that's First Class, I might as well hang under the Asparuhov most.

Who don't believe me, go and watch all the video footage from the South Ossetia War. Russians use iron sights. Or actually, no need for you to do that. See this (a photo from the Ukraine war, where Little Green Men were stationed around Crimea). These Little Green Men were the Putin's Elite. His crème de la crème. Look at his AK. Look at his optical sights. There are none. There is no flashlight. There's nothing but autism there.



I watched their "special training" and "tactics". These people, armed with only Cold War Era guns, they haven't got the slightest clue.

Now look at this and let the Autism speak for itself (3:46):



Usually, it's logical and you're taught to never flash yourself or your surroundings unless you're gonna engage and kill target. Now this crazy just shot near his foot. I won't even talk ricochets, but I'll talk adrenaline. Can you really control 2 inches and where exactly lands, or if you slip. And what's the point of this drill firing near your own foot, that's beyond me.

These people are taught they're immortal, apparently. It's funny. That's the same thing North Korea and Hitler taught their younglings. That they're immortal. See what happened then.

And it's again beyond me, why fire around your foot. In real battle that would incapacitate you instantly, shatter your bones, leave you stranded. Make you an easy target, for your and your company that's gonna rush in to save you. What a backward thinking. Moronism.

And these are their Elites. The mammoth SPETSNAZ. Equal to the USSOCOM as a class of, you know like a rank and tactical capabilities, weapons and all. They're above Police and Military, I mean.

And see this another dose of Russian autism (0:23):



That's Russia. It's for us to see. In plain sight, in our face.

 

The Russian superior vehicular operating capabilities. The first one he almost killed the poor guy. Russkis, careful, mateys!

 

Human worth in muscovia has a long way to go....yet.
