A third of the population of Russia consider the Russian army the strongest in the world

The historical maximum reached an index showing how Russians assess the combat capability of the Russian army. This is evidenced by the survey data of the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM).

According to VTsIOM, confidence in the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Russia is growing all over 30 years of observation. So, in 1990, the corresponding combat capability index was minus the 23 point, and this year it reached a historical maximum of the 73 point.

At the same time, about a third of Russians (31%) consider the army of their country the best in the world, 52% - one of the best. Among those who served in the army, these shares are 31% and 56%, respectively.

The combat capability index shows how Russians assess the combat capability of the Russian army. The higher the index value, the more highly Russians assess the combat capability of the army. The index is measured in points ranging from minus 100 to 100.

The survey was conducted 17-18 in February by telephone survey among 2 thousands of respondents. The margin of error does not exceed 2,2%, reports RIA News

The army and the people are one!

There are more realists, but the percentage of "experts" among the people is not happy.

Yes, Kiselev and Solovyov work poorly. How to compare something?
Warheads? Equal to the USA. Fleet? Then what? We are the first in the icebreakers. And about AUG it’s better to be silent. Ground, beat separately, and if they are in a crowd - it is necessary to consider. Again, what kind of theater, infrastructure, reserves, allies. The General Staff will not immediately answer such a question. In general, an elephant is stronger than a whale .

[krot]

I would say our people are strong. Therefore, such an army! And if there are only one in the country ... then the army is like that, although they’re armed, they will still be rotten. Although on our roads motorists sometimes bite among themselves not childishly, they touch, someone will attack, all foreigners will remember 1945 ..

[kamski]

all that we have in service DOESN'T HAVE ANALOGUES I myself heard talking on TV and what does it mean? we take QUALITY !!! Three KA 52 helicopters destroys the whole tank motto of NATO and this is FACT

[aws4]

more realists ???????????????????????? do you think our army is one of the best in the world ?????????

[kapitan92]

I will not focus on the numbers, but I must admit that in recent years, much in our Army has changed for the better, and most importantly, service in the ranks is becoming prestigious among young people, and the arrival of new equipment is good.
I wanted the preparation of the mob not to be forgotten. reserve, there are much more problems.

Alas! Indeed, there are not enough shifts for the better. Maybe we need to change the whole retraining system, and responsibility must be introduced, let it be financially, I swell - I failed the fool, pay from your pocket. (IMHO)

[Komynist]

Not everyone throws up at the training camp, the main problem is the salary at the time of the call for retraining. Since we have mainly double-entry bookkeeping at enterprises. And the conditions for Partizan I don’t know how and where, but they called on people, gave us mattresses and put them to sleep in the gym with the current roof on the floor. A friend spent two weeks in the hospital after such training and said that the next time he would go only if he went to war.

What planet are you telling us about this?

Serves among 18-year-old boys - 1 in 20.
Only the poor villagers still somehow join the army.
Someone who is a little richer than a homeless person is trying to pay off.
The cost of repayment is an average of 35-40 thousand rubles.

It was never so cheap and so easy to buy off the army.
Corruption is the most important thing.

Start with yourself, make your contribution to the fight against “corruption in the most important thing”, contact the UK or the prosecutor’s office.

And from what time are you broadcasting?
NOBODY (attention to NOBODY) from my son’s friends (25 years old) was bought.
Two took and interrupted their studies at the university (attention of VMiK and MAI), served and continued.
So to the heap in order to get to the military department you need to be an excellent student and pass a strong physical training.
And this is cheap because the product has become scarce. The balance of supply and demand son, (that is, no one wants to pay off for those who do not understand)

The children are also the third dozen and they graduated from their universities.

What's so special about that? Only serve a year. That's right the guys did. This will have little effect on their studies, but they corrected their profile for the better. I now had a chance to get under the first call from universities and do not regret it. He returned and finished his studies.

Bet on the bucks?
Arriving in Moscow, I arrange a PERSONAL meeting with these guys.
As for study and the future, everything is cooler. The guy who entered VMiK seemed to be easy to say - his mother worked at the faculty and was engaged in pre-university education (this in no way means that he did not study well at school). So when he decided to go into the army, he said words that were brilliant in my opinion: I want to know how much in this life to learn now and not when to pay.

[yehat]

why pay off? there are more draftees in the army than necessary.
and the number of poor is growing - according to recent estimates, now it is about 70% of the population.

[Dormidont]

The survey shows that a third of the population are cryptoliberians

[siberalt]

Interestingly, what percentage of Ukrainians believe that their army is the strongest in Europe?

[Lord of the Sith]

The survey was conducted on February 17-18 by telephone survey among 2 thousand respondents.

Yes, it is in bad Russian that the Americans called.

[BLOND]

At the same time, about a third of Russians (31%) consider their country's army the best in the world, 52% - one of the best.

15% think that “other armies” is a myth
2% are liberals

Sanya, welcome But who will call you then? You are an ANARCHIST - the army with its one-man management is contraindicated to you. You would have broken all percentages for them.

[Hurricane70]

I like these polls ... VTsIOM, Levada and so on. off ... One FIG !!! Someone from colleagues in HE received tel. a call?
"... The survey was conducted February 17-18 by telephone survey among 2 thousand respondents ..."
Under 150000000 of the population, and judged by 2000, who are they calling? And if ten times out of 2000 in the madhouse hit? Once 30-40 "strangers" who watch House-2, once 50 fans of glamor, liberalism and the West?
So they receive the average statistical data, and then they endure it like a dogma!

[Loess]

Somehow, that year they called in 2010 or 2011. 20 minutes answered questions. I remember it, because in the office there was ... an event and all its final part I hung on the phone)

[Egorovich]

An excellent, well-armed army is good for Russia !!! Our "partners" are simply very afraid of the power of the Russian army, and apart from diarrheal verbiage they can do nothing against it. Fear is expressed in everything and themselves are even more intimidating, holy fools.

[Falcond]

Another third did not serve in the army .. and the rest are children

[alex-cn]

Perhaps I will attribute myself to 52%. 52% + 1 vote.

[zadorin1974]

At the moment, young people are going to the service meaningfully, realizing that now they’re doing nothing without service (almost like in the eighties). Even if the service life is increased, they will still not cough up more than 70% (in my time, more than half were mowed). and the horses, as well as the Prodadans will always be somewhere around 5-10 percent (you don’t see such people with a shovel or a machine tool, they want to trade with their brow and face). And at the expense of confidence for our fighting efficiency, we know that in internal fat we can to hold out for six months, after perestroika it’s difficult to scare us with something Well, I really liked the saying-

[Nasrat]

Often I bring the contractors from the district to the place of duty (we talk on the way along the way) - almost everyone joined the army because they pay more than they could earn on a civilian (in their village, small town) ...
In short, they simply began to pay in the army - and the rural people reached out! .That's it...

[zadorin1974]

Yes, all this is understandably respected. Not only the villagers, but also the urban ones choose a contract service because of higher incomes. Well, all the same, at the moment it’s hard to get a normal place without service, without service work without service (sick ticket).

[yehat]

not only rural. on the periphery, often the salary of a well-respected specialist is not higher than the salary of a lieutenant.

To the army to earn money? So, too, in the whole liberal world! Where the money is, there is the biomass for food. Sorry, those who are for selfless service to the homeland and people, this does not apply.

[Alex-a832]

If you fight in a foreign territory, then one of the best. If ours is the strongest in the world. Recall WWII - our army was not the strongest, but was one of the best, and during the war it became the strongest in the world. Our mobilization reserves are large enough for any army to break the ridge, but on our territory.

[Don]

You have strange comparisons. Firstly, Russia is far from the USSR, industry, the military-industrial complex cannot be compared, and most importantly, strange people rule the country, they are traitors, they are ordinary thieves, but they are definitely not stupid

[Alex-a832]

No weirder than yours. If hellies and traitors, then tell me who they work for. Why, how do they strengthen and train the army before WWII, why did they untie the defense industry and increase its production, when all the conditions are in order to merge the defense budget in favor of social programs, pensions, etc.?! That is, they could satisfy the people's aspirations, and at the same time bury their defense capabilities. Well, like, they accidentally led a well-intentioned country to a slaughterhouse.

[Altona]

Again, the fake statistical agency polls? 86% for Putin, 38 thousand of the average salary in Russia and such nonsense?

[rotmistr60]

I would say so - one of the best.

A third of Russians (32 percent) believe that the Sun is a satellite of the Earth. 11 percent of the inhabitants of the Russian Federation believe that radioactive milk becomes safe after boiling, 55% are confident that scientists have created radiation. Compared to 2007, the number of those who believe that electrons are smaller than atoms has increased over the year (52 percent versus 48 percent). There are more people who are convinced that antibiotics are equally effective against bacteria and viruses (in 2007, 45 percent of the population of the Russian Federation thought so, and in 2011 - 46 percent). The number of people who are confident that humans and dinosaurs appeared on Earth at the same time almost did not change - 29 percent in 2011 against 30 percent in 2007. The mystery remains the nature of the laser for 26 percent of Russians, who are confident that it works by focusing sound waves. 22% do not know where the oxygen we breathe comes from. In the four years that have passed since the last survey, the number of Russians increased from 14 to 20 percent, considering that the Earth makes a complete revolution around the Sun in one month. So what? Russians are completely ordinary people. They have the right to err.

Why go somewhere? There will be an order to just make a glass dish about half the size of the Moscow region. Then your neighbors will fill it with a layer of sand so that it will not fade - that's all.

Much has been done lately, and judging by the howling of Europe and the USA, qualitatively. Particularly noticeable is the progress of the army after the horror of the 90s and the beginning of the century. You know the problems and they are being solved, not as fast as we would like and right now. And the army is undoubtedly one of the best, as they say "Do not boast about going to the army", who will turn out to be the best is preferable for civilization, not to find out.
The trouble is the lack of a reliable rear. Can the economy, with its current supply of means of production and technologies (domestic), qualified personnel supply the army, even the best, long time in a more or less prolonged and serious conflict. Nothing is outdated so quickly as a weapon, whether the scientific potential will allow for new developments. The answer is disappointing - do not get serious right now. And I didn’t say that, but Colonel General Ivashov, you know better who it is. But I think, without his analysis, this is obvious ...

[yehat]

put a plus, although it was difficult, given the flag. But with that said, I agree.
I’ll only add that the army and society, having received the first EXTERNAL signs of improvement, were too carried away by resting on their laurels and PR, but meanwhile the situation has changed little - instead of impenetrable experience, now the same opa, but with a shadow of hope. It must be clearly understood.

A strange way of assessment for the military. As, however, and expert assessments, and even the calculations of the General Staff. As one commander used to say, who always, of all disadvantageous positions and calculations, always won: "They’re fighting not by numbers, but by reduction!" And he put all his strength in spirit more valuable than any wunderwafel there. At the same time, the troops always prepared for battle, daily and hourly, including the self-approval of the “soldier’s first-aid kit” and compliance with hygiene requirements. The surname of the commander who does not know - I will not prompt.

You can judge by budgets, by tanks, by aircraft, etc. etc. But in no country in the world on a massive scale, the crew will not fire from a burning tank, will not fall on bunkers, the children will not work in two shifts on the defense system, their homes will be burned so that the enemy will not get too, die but not give up, undermine yourself with grenades, cause fire on yourself, in no country in the world has this happened and will not be in mass (there may be some cases) when we begin and rally stronger than everyone, therefore we will defeat everyone, maybe the army is not the strongest but the people are STRONGEST!

In my opinion, the greatest stupidity is the army’s combat readiness to evaluate the results of opinion polls.
Objectively, only a war can objectively place such things, or peace, if the opponents are approximately equal in strength.
It is our army that helps out that the nuclear weapons did not have time to "saw through" to the end. Otherwise, in our House the music would have played for a long time, but we would not have heard it.
