Rating employee Blackwater on the combat capability of the military from different countries


8. African tribes.
It's not even interesting to fight them. They shoot randomly, they don’t know about aiming shooting. Often they scrub the ground under their feet.
Habitual get into his.
Run away to the side after several casualties or a shot from tank.
Rating - meat.

7. African regulars.
Differ from their wild counterparts only in the presence of the form and modest skills aimed fire. They are combat-ready against savages, but clashing with a more capable adversary, even Arabs, leads them into panic and flight.
Act in harmony with armored vehicles do not know how in principle.
Rating - meat in the package.

6. Arabs.
Mercenaries, rebels, many regulars ...
The concepts of tactics and strategies for them are as far as the delights of Samantha Fox to an average homosexual from the banks of the Seine. Their war is to shoot ammunition boxes in the direction of the enemy, while calling to the bar and periodically blowing themselves up with everything that comes handy. However, the latter does not apply to regulars, they are relatively silent and disciplined, they know how to use grenades.
Cowardly, but not alarmist.
Rating is a convenient target.

5. American regulars.
How many films are shot about the invincible American army ... There is only one BUT.
The Yankees are absolutely unable to fight without artillery preparation, tanks and air strikes.
If the territory was not burned to the state of a deserted desert, the soldiers will not go there. And if they do, they do not return back.
They shoot very well, well coordinated, but are timid in front of any resistance. Then become easy prey.
Losses are going through hard, until the complete loss of combat capability. Underpants.
Rating - biting dogs.

4. American mercenaries.
Good fighters. They know how to act as a team, and alone, beautiful shooters. There are desperate individuals that are sometimes difficult to cope with.
But they have a very weak point - morality. And the lack of motivation, except money. The corpse does not need money, so most of them do not climb there,
where it is absolutely hot. And in every possible way avoid the first line of fire.
Dogs of war, if evaluated.

3. Asians.
I did not come across regulars. Mercenaries are able to deliver a painful headache to any opponent. If act as a group.
What is in their heads is not clear, but they are capable of any folly. They shoot beautifully, they often act from ambushes, into which the enemy enters according to a cunning plan. Asians do not care about the support of equipment, aircraft and shells.
They do not care if there are cartridges or not. The main thing is the presence of fellows.
But alone, alas, they become useless.
Rating - the army of the emperor.

2. Caucasians and Afghans.
Strong warriors. Fine arrows. Hardy, brave.
Able to act in groups, alone, motivated and insidious. In combat, they act competently, they know tactics and strategy. They are not afraid of technology and air strikes, they effectively operate from ambushes
They have the only weak point - unable to fight to the last breath, a rare fighter is able to sacrifice themselves for the sake of common victory. Unless he is a shahid, but this is completely different. story...
Rating - real fighters.

1. Russians.
To oppose the platoon of Russian mercenaries is a fierce, bloody kapets.
They fight to the end, to the last bullet, and when ammunition runs out, they use everything they have at hand. Mortally wounded Russian? Do not touch him, most likely before his death - he squeezed a grenade without checks.
Russian inventive, have excellent intuition. And ... they don't care.
Did the plane arrive? Anyway, knocked down with a sapper shovel. Tank? Anyway, if not broken arms. Fighters who have never held SVD are able to get out of it at the critical range at a critical moment.
And still, that it was the last cartridge, they will beat the enemy with the rifle itself. Tactics and strategy? Easily! Any composition, from the army to the half-dead cripple, holding alone the company of the enemy ...
Russians, even mercenaries, are not able to retreat.
And if they retreat, they can be sure they are just running for the cartridges.
All of the above applies to the army, who are more or less fired.
However, for this, in most cases, sufficient - the only clash ...
Ranking - Warriors!

          Instruction for an American pilot from the Cold War. I personally read it in 1986, and since then I remember: The Soviet pilot is a product of a tough totalitarian system, and therefore is absolutely unpredictable in battle. Recommendations: do not get involved in a long protracted battle. If you could not get it off the first time , more chance he will not provide you.

            The fact of the actual participation of the USSR Air Force in the Korean War is mixed with the widespread, but not actually confirmed, rumor about the participation of Soviet pilots in air battles in Vietnam. Here is one of these tales, "Finding a normal Vietnam is a problem. They are small, dead, do not hold an overload. Our guys kept it up to 10g, but these guys already lost consciousness at five. They were force-fed, they were given a tribunal if someone put meat. he won't eat rations, they were twisted on simulators - all to no avail. They lose consciousness and that's it. American pilots quickly realized that all Vietnamese aviation is divided into Russian pilots and Vietnamese. Shooting down Vietnam is an honorable, profitable business (the money paid good), and most importantly - safe. With the Russians, things were much worse. You throw out on them like unexpectedly from the sunny side, out of the cloud, like you hit for sure, and he will make an anti-missile maneuver, spin a figure with an awesome overload, and already on your tail. The Americans quickly realized how to distinguish Russian from Viet Nam. There is a battle, as a rule it is very fleeting. A phantom on the tail of the MiG. The MiG makes a maneuver, the overload increases, five, six - hop! the wings trembled for a second, barely noticeable- everything is clear, vietnam. You don't have to be afraid. But if on 8g the MiG also confidently performs a maneuver, then it is definitely not Vietnam, but Russian, and hell knows how it all ends. Therefore, the Americans openly went on the air and with the phrase "Vanya! I'm gone!" left the battle. Flies, Vietnamese over Hanoi, and here - "phantoms". He presses the button, shoots - by, once again - by again. In general, there is nowhere to go, the Americans squeezed. Then he presses the red button, and then someone slaps him on the shoulder: "Come on, bro, move over." laughing laughing laughing

            Mom’s memory. The first week of the war. Vidza district. In broad daylight, several Nazi planes attacked one of ours. First, he also shot as the fabric was torn, and then it stopped, the adults said the cartridges were over. And they were pressing, shooting. Suddenly our started fall so quickly, straight down, almost sheer. People gasped, killed! But even didn’t have time to cross, he turned out on the very edge of the earth and left the forest! People cried, baptized him and said that the Germans They won’t be able to fight, but ours will be back soon!

        Where did you see an American who would admit that they are not the best.
        And the selection of opponents is strange, which means "Asians" and the army of the "Emperor". An American would specifically say that the Vietnamese know how to fight. Vietnamese cadets in 1979 successfully smashed the Chinese regular divisions. And Caucasians and Afghans are two big differences. Chechens with Soviet training - they knew how to fight. And the current only know how to wear suicide belts on women, or remember the Georgians (with American advisers), more precisely, how they skidded.

        The only, adequate pro-Ukrainian position! Indeed, the South-East is surely lost (Lugansk and Donetsk). The rest of the territories themselves must sweep out Kiev trash and decide for themselves how to live and with whom they are friends. The unequivocal prohibition of all nationalist organizations with criminal responsibility, broad rights for self-government, pro-Ukrainian, and not pro-European and not even pro-Russian foreign policy. Only this will make Ukraine not a territory, but a state.

        With one blow, of course he was enough. In reality, this is within the framework of phased actions. Underestimating thugs can be expensive. The main thing is not to let them fade away and then reap the problems in the form of a "democratic government in exile." And the fact that Crimea or the Luhansk region will be politically and economically within the borders of Russia is far from a tragedy for real Vkrayins. Russia is now our common home! We have the same blood in our veins, we have one enemy on our doorstep. We remember and besides political there will be no other borders. May common sense and true patriots prevail.

            When I served in 201 MSD, I talked with one Mujahideen, a young Tajik of 23-25 ​​years old. He studied at a camp somewhere in Pakistan, so he said that many Russians remained in Afghanistan, and they were valued by Afghan gang leaders. Some say they were even purely Russian intelligence. Our mechanics, BTR drivers and driver mechanics were also valued. Personally, I was twice offered to go to the Pamir to go to some gangster there, since I almost left when I was drunk, but I recovered myself. Money is money, but the head is more expensive.

      If Avos has already exhausted himself, then Fuck comes. Yes, I will die. And Fuck. The main thing is to take more adversaries with you, so that it is easier for others.

      And the words are attributed to him: “Do not hope that once you take advantage of Russia's weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russians always come for their money. And when they come, don’t rely on the Jesuit agreements that you have signed, supposedly supporting you. They are not worth the paper on which they are written.

        According to the rating itself, in general, I think everything is right. About Russians, even mercenaries, rightly. After all, most of the Russian mercenaries clearly served in the ranks of the SA / Army of the Russian Federation. and most probably the hot spots have passed. And of course, we must not forget the valiant military past of Russia of different historical eras.

Those Germans who fought or at least remember their childhood with bombings and food ration cards have long been retired, and the next generation from childhood was taught NOT to fight, because the Russians completely discouraged their parents from fighting.

          Obviously, a colleague of clidon hints at the USSR 1941-1942. It seems to me that this is not entirely correct. According to German data, it seems that almost half of the Red Army surrendered. And the reasons are simple:
          - unbridled fantasy and postscripts of German generals;
          - capture of those who didn’t have time to arm themselves and even to wear uniforms of mobilized reservists;
          - the entire male population of the occupied territories of military age was considered as prisoners of war (for the sake of fairness - ours had the same practice in 1944-1945 in Germany).
          Well, you can still search for data on the number of German, Japanese and other prisoners of war who were in the USSR after 1945. The numbers are impressive.

              For an accurate count, you need to keep in mind how much Russia fought in the 20th century! And count all the prisoners who were in captivity with us! Without forgetting, for example, Romanians, Poles, Hungarians, French, Bulgarians and others who were first taken, then released, after liberation their countries! I met numbers in 10-11 million!

                Russia fought in the 20th century, decently, however, like all great powers. And I am by no means going to humiliate the Russian soldier - our army fought bravely. However, before boasting about some kind of superpowers, ascribing absolute qualities to oneself, one must remember about these millions who stood with their hands up. Moreover, in the vast majority of cases, the reasons for such massive "surrenders" were not in the plane of the personal qualities of the soldiers, but the strategic mistakes of the political and military leadership.
                The very fact that we lost a lot of prisoners in two world wars, I can not be seriously questioned. Of course, the Germans lied, of course, not all the prisoners were army soldiers (they took prisoners and policeman and just administration officials), but I quite believe the archives of our Ministry of Defense, which talk about 4559 thousand prisoners of war.

                  A lot of Russian prisoners were taken in the first days and months of the war, well, you can say even in the first year. There was not enough weapons, the factor of surprise of the attack played, if the unit lost the commander, then they could surrender to the whole unit, then the Nazis literally in the first months of the war went almost to Moscow demoralized many soldiers and even commanders. After the Nazis were driven away, there were much fewer prisoners.

          so what ???

          Here is the first world data:

          Germany - 2 million dead; 4 million wounded; prisoners 1 million - on one prisoner 2 killed and 4 wounded

          Great Britain - 0,7 million dead; 1,6 million wounded; prisoners of 0,17 million - to capture 1 English you need 4 to kill and injure almost 10

          Austria-Hungary - killed 1,5 million; wounded 2,6 million; prisoners 2,2 million - to take 1 Austrian prisoner you need to kill 0,7 and injure 1,2

          Russia - 1,6 million dead; 3,7 million wounded; prisoners of 3,3 million - to capture 1 Russian you need to kill 0,5 and injure 1,1

          Compare by the way how much the resistance of soldiers and officers in the USSR has grown in comparison with the Republic of Ingushetia, (Krivosheev’s data):

          8,6 million killed; 22 million wounded; 4,5 million prisoners - that is, in order to capture one Soviet soldier it was necessary to kill 1,9 and injure almost 5.

              you are such a math, sorry, of course, shove it into the opera, to begin with, give the losses,% of the drafted, the area of ​​the countries covered by the war,% ratio of drafted, etc., etc.

              And even statistics do not take into account how soldiers were captured: surrendered with weapons and ammunition or captured without weapons (or ammunition), or in a helpless state.

            Here is the first world data:

            I will explain to you what your data says.
            This suggests that the Russians are stronger, tenacious and hardy. When a Chinese died on the battlefield from fear, a European died on the battlefield from wounds, the Russian survived despite the wounds, and died already in captivity without proper care (well, we know how Western scum treats prisoners). And those Russians whom you added to the prisoners should have been considered dead, for they received their wounds in battle.
            Let me draw your attention to the fact that of all captured Russians in German captivity, two-thirds died, and Germans in Russian-one-third.

                only this verbiage is not necessary.
                then HOW the peoples REALLY resisted the occupation can be recognized by the example of the partisan movement.
                we will take Belarusian partisans for polarity - 10
                and their complete absence in the Czech Republic - 0.
                so by country
                Denmark Holland Netherlands and pr Luxembourg - ZHIIIIIRNY ZERO
                Norway - about one unit.
                France - barely barely in two.
                Poland - a little over 3
                Yugoslavia is SEVEN, or even EIGHT.
                Well, the occupied territories of the USSR
                from 6 (Baltic States, Moldova) to 9-10 (RSFSR, Belarus)

                THEREFORE, it is necessary to protect the homeland, and not by order.
                hence the conclusion, the Caucasians and the Germans lived well.

                  I did not write anything about resistance to the occupation. You apparently don’t understand or pretend that you don’t understand a simple truth - for such resistance you need not only courage, but also banal motivation. From a fresh example of the Crimea - are there cowards who could not repel the intervention of a foreign army? There are zero partisan detachments - on the contrary, everyone is happy and votes for. So is Belgium, Holland - the war with the Germans was not a matter of survival for them. On the contrary, many were in favor or they did not care.
                  Of course, a soldier on the battlefield is also subject to the "influence of the moment," but Russia, both in the first and in the second world won, did not wage war with opponents close in spirit, faith and ideology.

                    so who are the worst warriors?
                    those who, in terribly unfavorable conditions, took the fight, losing their comrades, retreating, getting surrounded, left the cauldrons or continued to fight in the partisans and eventually ended the war by sticking the flag into the ruins of the enemy capital.

                    or those who tied up their tails, sat in the occupation until liberation, justifying themselves by the fact that "well, after all, we were defeated, the government ordered to lay down their arms"

                    figure out your "motivation"
                    and then you have some innocent, but not very large.
                    others fled in captivity in droves but wars won.


                    then it will come to you that the final figures of losses, and the outcome of the war are not quite equal values.

                      Of course, and as soon as the motivation was lost, we immediately lost in the most trifling campaign like the first Chechen one, where the GRU special forces unit of fifty could easily surrender. These are the bravest soldiers who went to the partisans and generally won the war.
                      Therefore, I write that even with the highest motivation, millions of our compatriots raised their hands up. And yes, they won as a result of the war (not all of course - we lost the Russian-Japanese and World War I).

                        you write (sorry) nonsense.
                        you need to take into account the time of capture, since 60% of prisoners go to the first most difficult months of the war.
                        if in 41 fighters left without cartridges, food and commanders could raise their hands.
                        then at 42 near Stalingrad - stood to death.
                        the same way, by the way, it was in 95, after the capture of the city when the soldiers saw what was waiting for them in captivity, those wishing to raise their hands sharply decreased.

                        since you decided to show off your knowledge of numbers, then it was worth making a gradation by country, the drafted contingent and the percentage of prisoners.

                        otherwise it turns out that the Russian soldiers were captured most of all - that means they fought poorly and were poorly (vile concept) motivated.

                        it was necessary to do so: in the USSR, 35 million people were called up for military service
                        was captured (to the maximum) - 5,5 million people.
                        total percentage - 16 (note that this is the army winner)
                        Germany: at least 25 million people called up
                        according to the results of surrender, at least 4 million people became prisoners
                        the total percentage is the same 16 (do not forget that they purged the war)
                        France: more than 2 MILLION people in a company of 40 g completely broken surrendered
                        total percentage (minus killed) 95.
                        Belgium: more than 500 people captured almost 000%
                        the army blew the war.

                        so we see that it was captured
                        500 Belgians
                        1,8 Million French
                        4 MILLION Germans
                        5,5 million Russians

                        following your logic, the Belgians fought better than anyone else, since they were the least captured.

                        well, everything is worse - the Russians, because they are "unmotivated"


                        learn to correctly analyze, then there will be no problems with logic.

                        Compared with the Great Patriotic War and the First World War, this is undoubtedly an insignificant and relatively sluggish military campaign.

                        Of course, our servicemen surrendered not in favorable conditions. Which is actually not surprising.
                        I was not going to compare, you can read my initial message above - "the best fighters in the world" surrendered in millions. Moreover, on the battlefield and with the maximum motivation of the war for survival. And this is including the consequences of hating.

                        But here we are talking about numbers. At least they cause such a reaction ..
                        But I then start from an article that says:
                        And still, that it was the last cartridge, they will beat the enemy with the rifle itself. Tactics and strategy? Easily! Any composition, from the army to the half-dead cripple, holding alone the company of the enemy ...

                        And on the other hand, there should be a long theorizing about the fact that they say yes, we surrendered in large and small conflicts, but we are no worse than the rest. This is a big difference.

                        do not you think that you are already going beyond the assumptions, and simply indiscriminately write down all defeated prisoners and alarmists?

                        By the way, I did not write that all this is defeatists and alarmists. These are just people who did not see another way out. And if they ran out of ammunition, then they do not:
                        And if they retreat, they can be sure they are just running for the cartridges.

                        And give up. Although not everything is of course at will, many by order, but this business does not change the overall picture.

                        under absolutely identical circumstances, the Europeans and the Germans themselves and the Japanese themselves also surrendered en masse.

                        And I don’t argue. A good soldier, a soldier who can win, is well motivated, armed and fed, and not some sort of superfighter of a certain nationality, as the article assures us. Although of course there are nuances - the same Japanese gave up much worse. Moreover, they were not taken prisoner for a long time - it was dangerous.

                        Motivation is only one of the components. And I gave you examples - a soldier must understand for what is dying.

                        the one that the well-armed, trained and nourished U.S. Army was unable to counter the barely armed partisans in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

                        She was not just able to resist them, she was so fucking them there that the losses of the very Vietnamese and Afghans (who by the way didn’t fight with arrows and bows) were simply millions. But there is a difference of forces and political decisions. Moreover, it was weak motivation that ultimately affected the same Americans.

                        The enemy fought WORSE. We were gone, we had fewer resources. I draw your attention to the fact that at the beginning of the war, 5.5 million Wehrmacht soldiers and allies came together in battle on the western border of the USSR against 3.2 million soldiers of the Red Army. Moreover, the Third Reich, with satellites and European allies, exceeded the USSR in population by two times, and in industrial potential - four times.

          It was 200 km to Paris, and the French declared it an open city. There were only 200 meters left to the Volga, but the Germans never passed them. By the way, a large number of prisoners, this is also one of the consequences of the Russians' unwillingness to give "a single inch." As well as the large losses of the Japanese, the result of the fact that in case of failure they (up to the high command) preferred sepukku, but this, oddly enough, is the reason for their defeat.

        I am not a nationalist, but I want to report that until 1942 the Red Army had a system of assembling parts on the basis of nationality and the summer company of the Germans with an attack to the south was largely successful by this factor. By agitating the Germans that this was not their war and should not die for Soviet rule entire divisions of the social republics and Westerners are ahead of all, of course, and why should they tear the Nazis closer and closer to the stone. After 1942 and to this day, the units are completed with 2 3 non-Russians per 10 Russians or who consider themselves so and we have become invincible because any Tatar is a Kyrgyz Kyrgyz and so on. They didn’t want to give way to the Russian in any way, whether it was courage and courage, and after the first battle all the fighters forgot to the Nazis that they were Tatars, Chechens, Kyrgyz, etc. and they proudly said that they were Russian!

Afghans are harsh people, wonderful soldiers and praise from them worth a lot!

But if you look at it, why is it surprising that Russians come first? Was the shit kept between the Mongols and Europe for hundreds of years? They kept it! We have absorbed two different approaches to the war, different tactics and weapons. Fought for a thousand years? We fought! Get an unknown chromosome into the gene pool. And finally, have they "cleaned up" all "pyataks"? Yes, almost everyone (Tsushima only, but it's by the sea). So much for the spirit of the winner, from father to son. Besides, we are literate almost without exception. So I see nothing unusual in the first place.

    V. Medinsky (Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, historian by profession) at the Solovyov program was asked to comment on the words of V. Putin about the Russian soul.

    He replied that he was astounded by the accuracy of the wording.

    Historians have come to the conclusion that the Russian spirit has developed historically during the raids of nomadic tribes on Russian cities.

    If in Europe the surrender of the city did not affect anything, a new ruler came, taxes began to be paid to another feudal lord, but everyone remained alive,

    then in Russia it was different: if the nomads were allowed into the city, they destroyed "EVERYONE ABOVE THE WHEEL", and the rest were driven into slavery.

    Hence the Russian spirit - to stand to death, a comrade to help out.

    Also, in Russian tactics, huge spaces are used, to retreat does not mean surrender, it means to lure the enemy into an ambush, cut off from supply. Hence the "cunning and perfidy of the Russians", "not civilization"

    So, we can agree with the article.

        the war with the Japanese was not such a war)) so, again, an anti-Russian brand promoted by the West. The Russian Far East began to develop literally "the other day", which was known here in tsarist times, some Nivkhs knew that the tsar at that time was simply not capable of waging any kind of war in the Far East. And nevertheless - Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands are ours, the whole Far East is ours, so you would have forgotten about this "war". It's funny to read.
        By the way, if I’m not a bad connoisseur of my native land (Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands), I know very well that the Japanese were driven out from the Kuril Islands by small troops. That is, the Japanese entrenched on the islands were much superior to the numerically advancing space forces. And after a couple of islands taken on the rest, Japanese generals just began to give up without a fight! Have you seen the fortified areas on Sakhalin along the coast? Dot on Dot, in three rows and much more. So do not humiliate the dignity of the Russian soldier, Cossacks on Sakhalin chopped these samurai be healthy. And those half-fools who sincerely believe that the United States saved the world by dropping nuclear bombs on Japan - just idiots) The Russians would have crushed the Japanese even without these bombs, just a war would have lasted a couple of months longer.

        Considering the HUGE amount of forces and means involved against Russia and very modest results - I do not think that Russia lost Japanese-Japanese. Actually, like the Crimean one.

    Therefore, Bismarck also warned that it’s like fighting a Russian death

    Bismarck is not only a battleship, but also a great German politician and diplomat. His tears, sweat and blood ended the reunification of Germany in 1871.
    This was a man who loved to drink, eat well, fight in a duel in his spare time, and arrange a couple of good wars. For some time, the Iron Chancellor served in Russia as the Ambassador of Prussia. During this time, he fell in love with our country, but he really did not like expensive firewood, and in general he was a miser ...
    Here are Bismarck's most famous quotes about Russia:
    * Russians harness for a long time, but drive fast.
    * Do not hope that once using the weakness of Russia, you will receive dividends forever. Russians always come for their money. And when they come - do not rely on the Jesuit agreements that you have signed, supposedly justifying you. They are not worth the paper on which they are written. Therefore, it is worth playing with the Russians honestly, or not at all.
    * Preventive war against Russia - suicide due to fear of death.

    In general, the analysis made by this PMC fighter is very informative. Everyone who has their own personal experience can compare with their impressions.

About Russian soldiers, a Wehrmacht officer: They are lazy, cowardly and apathetic. But all this disappears as soon as the Russian has a personal motive in the war. And this happens in the first same battle when a comrade dies before his eyes. After that, there is no tougher, more cunning and braver fighter on earth. If I had at least one army of such soldiers, I would bring the whole world to its knees. These words are attributed to Guderian.

    It is, of course, pleasant to see such an assessment of the fighting qualities of the Russians. In the 60s, there was once an article in the Literaturnaya Gazeta about the Russian language, roughly broken down according to parameters in such a way that each language has one of its advantages, and the Russian language combines the advantages of ALL languages.
    Although it is not clear who gave this assessment and to whom, however, I repeat - PLEASANT, and in relation to Russians and Asians - reliably. I just can’t agree with the definition of Caucasians as great warriors, or am I mistaken in something... A Caucasian is not only a Chechen and an Ingush who has been making a living by raiding for centuries... There is Armenia, there is Georgia, there is... but not enough ... I don’t want to offend these peoples, but I cannot put them in second place, as the author does.
    And the Russian only with his “I don’t give a fuck...!!!” already puts himself in first place, and if we talk about unpredictability, then in this the Russians have never yielded to the Asians... That's where it goes...

      The uniqueness of Russians lies precisely in the fact that being at the junction of two cultures, relatively speaking East and West, they have absorbed and refracted their meanings in a special way. Let's say, in comparison with the Western man in the street, the Russian is more fatalistic and social, and this is characteristic of the East in the broad sense of the word. And vice versa, compared to, say, a Kazakh, a Russian is more individualist and “creator of destiny.” And then you need, like so many authoritative military men (for example, Keitel), to distinguish between a soldier and a war. To put it simply, a warrior is a person who knows how to skillfully fight, and a soldier, in addition, can endure lice and trench dirt (without losing combat effectiveness and motivation as much as possible), so there may be better wars than the Russians in the world, as for soldiers, it’s unlikely. According to the article, propaganda is not propaganda - what do you think, Russians? I’m not Russian, I just grew up with you, but I feel that if my principles of “divine justice” are violated, I will not only strangle them with a spatula, but even with my bare hands.

    Damn elevator

    Entries from the diary of a German soldier who fought at Stalingrad, was captured, and returned home healthy in 1953:
    <October 1, 1942. Our assault battalion reached the Volga. More precisely, there are still 500 meters to the Volga. Tomorrow we will be on the other side and the war will be over>.
    <October 3. Very strong fire resistance, we cannot overcome these 500 meters. We are standing on the border of some grain elevator>.
    <6 October. Damn elevator. It is impossible to approach him. Our losses
    exceeded 30%>.
    <10 October. Where do these Russians come from? The elevator no longer exists, but every time we approach it, fire is heard from underground>.
    <15 October. Hurray, we made it through the elevator. There are only 100 people left from our battalion>.
    So what is next:
    “It turned out that the elevator was defended by 18 Russians, we found 18 corpses.”
    Can you imagine? 18 corpses. And they were stormed by the battalion..."

    (The number of German infantry battalions is 800 people.)

    It’s not enough to kill a Russian soldier, he must also be thrown down!

    Frederick II, the Great.
    I don’t know who here didn’t like my calculations with Bismarck, but since I’ve already started, I’ll continue. The glory of Russian weapons knows no bounds. The Russian soldier endured what the soldiers of the armies of other countries never endured and will never endure. This is evidenced by entries in memoirs, as well as in personal letters from Wehrmacht soldiers and officers from the Eastern Front, in which they admired the actions of the soldiers and commanders of the Red Army. Here they are:

    * Close communication with nature allows Russians to move freely at night in the fog, through forests and swamps. They are not afraid of the dark, endless forests and cold. They are no stranger to winter, when the temperature drops to minus 45. The Siberian, who can be partially or even fully considered an Asian, is even more resilient, even stronger... We already experienced this ourselves during the First World War, when we had to face the Siberian army corps;
    * The Russian soldier prefers hand-to-hand combat. His ability to endure hardship without flinching is truly amazing. This is the Russian soldier whom we came to know and respect a quarter of a century ago;
    * The behavior of the Russian troops, even in the first battles, was in striking contrast with the behavior of the Poles and Western allies in defeat. Even surrounded, the Russians continued stubborn fighting. Where there were no roads, the Russians remained inaccessible in most cases. They always tried to break through to the east... Our encirclement of the Russians was rarely successful;
    * The Russians showed themselves to be first-class warriors from the very beginning, and our successes in the first months of the war were simply due to better training. Having gained combat experience, they became first-class soldiers. They fought with exceptional tenacity and had amazing endurance...

    That's why we won!

    The uprising in the fortress of Badaber.

    On April 26 on 1985 in 21.00 during the evening prayer, a group of Soviet prisoners of war in Badaber prison (in Pakistan - S.T.) removed six sentries from artillery depots and, breaking the locks in the arsenal, armed herself, pulled ammunition for the paired anti-aircraft gun and the machine gun DSh mounted on the roof. Mortar and RPG grenade launchers were put on alert. Soviet soldiers occupied the key points of the fortress: several corner towers and the building of the arsenal.
    The entire base personnel was raised on alarm - about 3000 people, led by instructors from the USA, Pakistan and Egypt. They tried to storm control over the fortress, but were met by heavy fire and, after suffering heavy losses, were forced to retreat. In 23.00, the leader of the Islamic Society of Afghanistan Burkhanuddin Rabbani raised the regiment of Mujahideen Khalid-ibn-Walida, surrounded the fortress and ordered the rebels to surrender, but received a response demanding to call representatives of the embassies of the USSR, DRA, Red Cross and the UN. The second assault began, which was also repulsed by rebellious Soviet soldiers. The battlefield at that time was blocked by a triple ring of encirclement, composed of Pakistani army dushmans and military personnel, armored vehicles and artillery of the 11 army of the Pakistan Armed Forces. The air force of the Pakistan Air Force fought in the air.
    The fierce clash lasted all night. The assault followed the assault, the forces of the rebels melted away, but the enemy also suffered tangible losses. On April 27, Rabbani again demanded surrender and was again refused. He ordered to bring heavy artillery to direct fire and storm the fortress. The artillery preparation and then the assault began, in which artillery, heavy equipment and the link of the Pakistani Air Force helicopters took part.
    When the troops broke into the fortress, the remaining wounded Soviet prisoners of war blew up the arsenal, they themselves died and destroyed significant enemy forces. ”
    According to various estimates, from 12 to 15 Soviet servicemen took part in the uprising and died. The Mujahideen of Rabbani and the 11th Army Corps of Pakistan acted against them, the losses of which were: about 100 Mujahideen, 90 members of the Pakistani regular forces, including 28 officers, 13 representatives of the Pakistani authorities, six American instructors, three Grad installations and 40 units of heavy combat weapons. technology.

    Where did you cross paths? From Nicaragua to any African country where our brother was full, especially in the rotten 90s. Who was hired this way, who was hired through intermediary firms, who was sent from the Russian offices...
    There were plenty of people there, and there were some very colorful personalities. And if you add that at that time there were also enough Cubans there who, for one reason or another, decided not to return to Sunny Island, then you get such an explosive mixture when the Russos were in command....

    This is how it really is. As long as there is no threat from outside, we sit quietly and relax, each minding our own business. But what an amazing thing, as soon as a threat appears to family and friends, everyone immediately takes up arms and fights like no one has ever done before.

        Your grandfather is a professional! And my grandfathers both lost their lives in this war. One - near Leningrad in 1942. The other in 1944 during the crossing of the Dnieper. Both are simple peasants. It’s especially offensive to listen to the conversations of the Ukrainian SS men after this! (((

    some kind of custom article, slippers are about to fly at me, but I immediately remember 3 MILLION Soviet prisoners of war in the first months of the war, how does this fit in with the conclusions made in the article?

    a little about the Germans.

    in April 41 Belgrade (Slavs) with a contingent of one and a half thousand was taken 7 SEVEN SS soldiers, under the command of Fritz Klinkenberg.

      There is such a beautiful Russian proverb: “Chickens are counted in the fall”
      True, in the case of the Reich, the count took place in the spring of 45.

      and the article is really fake.

        it’s true, the Germans blew it, but we all know from childhood from war films that “Russians don’t give up,” but here there are 3 million. In general, there is no need to shout to the whole world that the Russians are the best, because history shows that every nation has scum and heroes.

          in films they show it CORRECTLY.
          It’s better that “the Russians don’t give up” and the flag in Berlin.
          than "why should I shed blood for this country"
          and the Wehrmacht along the line of two A.
          and as a result, the Russian plain ceases to be Russian not only in name.

          it's called patriotic training
          or - indoctrination (if you look at this matter from a liberal point of view)

          and the MOST people consider themselves to be the most.
          whether it is good or bad is worth looking at the results of the activities of these peoples.

          Russians have something to be proud of, and therefore this thesis “we are the most, the most” is quite objective.

            and I’ll add a quote from myself
            11 Germans became Heroes of the Soviet Union. If we correlate this number with the number of Germans who fought on the front, then this figure will be one of the highest among the peoples of the USSR.

      3 million Soviet prisoners of war in the first days of the war is not an indicator of the cowardice of Soviet soldiers, but the extremely poor command of these soldiers from the center and on the ground... this is the time... the second, if you read Suvorov (GRU agent defector), who leads facts of unacceptable errors in command planning, as well as ignoring Zhukov’s repeated warnings about the likely direction of attack, then you will understand that there is no talk of cowardice here

    For Russians, this is inherent at the genetic level; perhaps someday scientists will isolate this gene for the courage of Russian warriors. Since this is already inherent in us from birth

    Scientists have known these genes for a long time. The interethnic cauldron has been brewing for a long time. Therefore, the majority of modern Russians are genetic mestizos. We are all essentially Russian-Ari-Judeo-Khokhlo-Caucasian-Mongoloids... in itself this is already excellent. Only the secret of courage is probably in our language and mentality.

    Probably the difference between an American soldier and a Russian is that an American soldier goes to the army to earn money and as much as possible, and a Russian soldier goes to the army to repay his debt to his mother Motherland. Although some here may argue that he also served in the army, although he did not borrow anything from his mother. In response, I can argue that there is such a thing as Russian patriotism. And if you are not a patriot of your Motherland, then why do you even live in Russia? And the brave and heroic American warrior saving the world from a global catastrophe is present only in Hollywood consumer goods. And by definition, an Amer who fights for money cannot defeat anyone. (example: recent flight of Sushka around their Cook) Nothing sacred, only Baku green in the eyes.
