Survey: almost a third of Russian citizens consider the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation the best in the world

63
About a third of Russians called the Russian army "the most efficient and efficient in the world," ВПК.name with reference to the VTsIOM website.

On the Army-2015 forum.

“Estimates of the combat capability of the Armed Forces of the country have changed dramatically since the time of perestroika. If in 1990, 34% believed that the Soviet army was lagging behind the best armies in the world (in 2015, 12%), and 15% said that its combat capability was very low (in 2015, 3%), today 32% they call the Russian army the most efficient and combat-ready in the world, and 49% are confident that it is among the best (1990 year - 21%), ”the All-Russian Center website says.

It is noted that “25 years ago, half of the respondents considered the expenses for the army too high, now only 35% agree with this point of view. The opposite position is held today by 52% (against 19% in 1990 d). ”

“The threat of a military attack in September 2015 of the year (48% believes that it exists) seems less real than in January (68%), but much more significant than in the 1990 year (13%). Today, 43% of respondents do not believe in the presence of an external threat (1990% in the 57 year), ”the report indicates.

According to VTsIOM, “a potential aggressor in our day is called primarily the United States (53% - and 19% in 1990), while Germany, considered the main enemy of 25 years ago (23%), is not one of the possible adversaries of the respondents.

          A strange poll ... Russians have always had a tradition of ending wars in the capital of the enemy and aggressor! Now it’s a little different (there are less losses), but we’ll take the capital of the enemy! Not right away .... But the guys in KB and MIC are working on it!
          Well, like this for example ...

          According to American media, the Luch spacecraft hung in orbit between the two US satellites, and then flew to the third. Http: //lifenews.ru/news/165159

          And in connection with the latest reform, it has become even better, now the commanders of the districts not only command the ground forces in the territory entrusted to them, but also all types and types of troops (with the exception of only part of the Strategic Missile Forces, aerospace defense and long-range aviation groups), for example, the commander of the western military district is subordinate The Baltic and Northern Fleet + Air Force and Air Defense + border guards of the FSB and the Ministry of Emergencies, the Black Sea Fleet and the Caspian Flotilla + Air Force and Air Defense + border guards of the FSB and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are subordinate to the commander of the Eastern District, the Pacific Fleet + Air Force and Air Defense + border guards of the FSB and Ministry of Emergencies .
          Divisions were significantly reduced in favor of brigades, as more mobile and combat-ready military units (brigades, because of their smaller numbers, are easier to deploy by air, unlike divisions).

        The criterion "best" army is applicable in the aspect of using the army for certain types of clashes and wars! They are very different: local, large-scale, on land, at sea, with and without nuclear weapons. Here you can talk a lot and for a long time and compare. The Russian army, what is still good, is that, in contrast to the Yankesian promoted, bloated and clumsy, mobile, multifunctional and already modern. The wise silence of Russia on the arrogant amersky show-off convinced everyone, even the Protokaklov, that our army is weak, and this is already half the victory. Therefore, the Euro-jankes also have hysterics, when Russia shows the surprises of its military power in a dose-rate manner. They are afraid and uncomfortable, this is good! hi

    It was necessary to clarify in which regions of the country the survey was conducted and what age category participated. Something too painful is it that so few respondents spoke out in favor of our armed forces.

    The army is reborn. Some exercises and readiness checks are worth it. I liked it in the interview when Solovyov asked the president whether participation in Syria is too expensive for us, he didn’t even find what to say, what to compare with. Then he said that we spend more on exercises. The army has only two states - it is either fighting, or preparing for war.
    I remember that I came across a book about Japanese pilots of naval aviation. In the pre-war period during training, their personnel losses were -30%! It is clear why in the beginning they "tore everyone up." And then, as a consequence of the protracted war, the decline of experienced pilots led to the appearance of kamikaze. They just stopped hitting ships with bombs!

        Svidomo kicked her out of the Kiev prosecutor's office. The girl could not find work in the specialty and returned to the Crimea, to her small homeland.

        There will soon be an accession. New shots were being recruited - the old ones who pissed, those who had drifted to Kiev. She came.

        The Ukrainians threatened everyone who would indulge the "occupation" authorities with all sorts of punishments and would be pissed off to the post of Prosecutor General. And she went.

    If you look at the local use of military units and groupings, then you can "hold out" to this concept. But the army is needed to protect the TERRITORY and, preferably, our own. Look at it, think about the survivability of distributed structures, the optimal degree of concentration of critical control nodes, etc. etc.

      Has the country's defense capability become stronger? Unfortunately, it is measured not only by army bravado. Although, where to get from her ...

      Defense capability is measured not only by the quantity and quality of new weapons, but also by the training of personnel and the modern organizational structure. The exercises have now begun to be carried out at times more than in previous years, the new organizational structure is designed to avoid hiccups when making decisions, when due to the presence of a large apparatus of the Ministry of Defense, the commander was forced to coordinate with the higher leadership and a lot of time was spent.
      I read on the same site how ship commanders in Soviet times had less authority than American commanders and were forced to coordinate important decisions with admirals.
      In the event of hostilities, the commander of the military district can now use almost everything, both the Air Force and the Navy and Air Defense, without coordination, which greatly simplifies command and control.
      The appearance of a large number of brigades instead of divisions increased the maneuverability of our Air Force (a brigade can be airmobile, a division cannot be airmobile).
      There have been significantly more new weapons; in recent years:
      72 Iskander, 76 Su-34, 48 Su-35, 160 launchers S400, until the end of next year the Black Sea Fleet will 7!!! diesel submarines. Already built 3 Borea, 1 Ash, produced electronic warfare, drones, modern cruise missiles, DBK Ball, and the Bastion. Produce Yars.
