Commander-in-Chief of the Norwegian Armed Forces: The Russian army is improving faster than expected

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are rapidly improving and increasing their military potential. This follows from an interview with the Commander-in-Chief of the Norwegian Armed Forces, Eirik Kristoffersen, to Breaking Defense.

According to the commander-in-chief of the Norwegian army, Russia is currently capable of producing weapons much faster than in 2023, not to mention 2022. That is, Russia managed to restructure the work of enterprises of the military-industrial complex, and this allows for an active offensive, replenishing supplies weapons and ammunition much faster than Ukrainian formations.

The Russian army is improving faster than expected

- emphasized the commander-in-chief of the Norwegian armed forces.

According to Kristoffersen, the sanctions did not have the effect that Western countries expected. Despite the fact that a number of harsh sanctions were introduced against Russia, its military industry was able to reach a completely different level of productivity.

Let us note that in Europe, military-industrial enterprises were never able to completely adapt to a military mindset. Today, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, during a trip to Poland, announced the transition of the British military-industrial complex to “war mode.”

True, it is not very clear how this process will be carried out. After all, neither the production lines nor the human resources of the British defense industry currently allow for qualitative changes.

Well, they won’t understand - Russians are not Estonians, we are much faster.

Knowledge is Power))) But not in the case of European “partners”.

Biden confuses countries, Scholz - a descendant of the Nazis - is completely out of his mind, although did he have one))

We Russians take a long time to harness, but then we drive very fast! Unlike others...

The Germans were also shocked by the mobilization capabilities and military adaptability of the USSR. We woke up the bear. The Red Army of 1941 and 1945 are simply two completely different armies. Without knowing history, one could say that the Red Army of 1945 was a different army, from a different country.

There is a high mobilization readiness in the Russian mentality. Historians say that this mentality is associated with the peculiarities of agriculture in the territories of risky farming.

Well, I was lucky enough to be the first to comment on the article...

But neuroscientists are inclined to argue that due to the vast territory of Russia, it was impossible to carry out selection as in Europe (wet out undesirables in batches), and therefore the brains on the territory of Russia are very diverse. Like in Europe there are only “screwdrivers” and “hammers”, but we have a full set of tools. And at the end we have the smartest geniuses and the most stupid stupid... A country of extremes.

Well, at least there is VZEM100.

In Kirkenes (Kirsanovka), Norway, a good tradition has arisen of destroying the “spontaneous memorial to Sisyan” for the sixth time. It’s time to punch someone in the face about who is installing it at our consulate. Guess once who is installing it?

Nothing surprising!!!
The army has come to WAR! He fights intensively, fully and successfully, and the enemy is stubborn, and supplies him with everything and even more.
And now the most important thing for them... FEAR! Don’t go where you weren’t invited, you’ll be safe.

[Thrifty]

If they didn’t kill vocational schools, we wouldn’t have to drive the horses now! I hope that the authorities will draw conclusions and vocational schools will be restored!

[Enceladus]

Like the NVP and DOSAAF. I became a good shooter for a reason... I managed to find myself, even as a kid, at the end of 80, and I had access and had good shooting skills and training from my Father and Uncle. Hunting incl. In the first battle, it was hard mentally.... And then it was work and statistics.

Against this background, the promises of Lieutenant General of the Estonian Army Martin Herem to destroy Ivangorod, burn Pechery and reach Pskov, or even St. Petersburg in the event of a war with Russia, look, to put it mildly, inadequate. Another thing is that this comrade resigned at the right time, he is replaced by a certain Merilo, who urgently received the rank of brigadier general. Before that, he was a colonel - all Estonian generals refused to take the position that Herem was leaving, and some, following his example, resigned...

War is not far away. The West will expand the conflict, I have already written about this in my articles. Will expand this year. Not because Europe needs it, but because of an order from the American deep state, which holds the entire Western civilization, excuse me, by the balls. Therefore, they will go to die, they will all die, but they will do as the overlord demands. This is a zombie, I was convinced by being born sometime back during the USSR in Estonia. Real slaves with a complex endured. And many Russians there are diligently de-emphasizing, that is, they also hate everything Russian and become stupid, and people are thrown into prison for one attempt to go to Russia for permanent residence, since “cannon fodder” is needed. As an example, the fate of Allan Hansom...

But these comrades will get everything in their teeth, I hope with a nuclear club, there is no point in killing our guys because of them.

And the commander-in-chief of the Norwegian Armed Forces is the commander-in-chief of a country that was captured by Germany in 24 days?

[Workyaga]

they still haven’t caught up with the main thing - that all these are still reserves from the times of the Soviet of Deputies... Which it would be a pity to throw away...

[bone1]

Maybe some of you are lousy expectants?

If you read the original source, the Norwegian simply demands more weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces for a longer period.

“I am concerned,” Norwegian defense chief General Eirik Kristoffersen told Breaking Defense during a recent visit to Washington, when asked how he sees the Ukrainian conflict in the coming months.
"I said it last January: I don't see a short-term military solution in Ukraine," he said. “I got a lot of pushback on this because we all wanted to make sure Ukraine would win the spring offensive. But I haven't seen us invest enough in Ukraine, and I still think we're not investing enough in support. So we need to keep doing this.».
Kristoffersen's comments came ahead of the announcement last Monday of a new security agreement between Norway and Ukraine. Under the agreement, which will be formally signed later, Oslo pledged to provide "long-term military, political, financial and humanitarian support to Ukraine," according to a statement by Foreign Minister Espen Bart Eide.

And the Estonian general Herem is still handsome. He knows that June 30 is his last day of work. This means you can talk any crap - there will still be no demand. Here the Norwegian will simply envy him - he has excused himself from "raking".
