Western experts once again admired Russian weapons

February 2 2016 85

By publishing a video with the Syrian military chronicle, whose personnel recorded the precise work of the Russian military, the publication Business Insider noted that the operation in the UAR had demonstrated new capabilities of the RF Armed Forces, which "came as a surprise to the world."

Western experts once again admired Russian weapons

"The Syrian campaign has allowed Russia to test in the combat conditions new military aircraft, as well as cruise missiles, the flight range of which exceeds the performance of American counterparts," leads RIA News opinion of Kennan Institute expert in Washington Michael Coffman.

“It's amazingly effective weapon", - said the expert on the Russian" Calibra. "

"Russian tactics and strategy have also become more advanced," - said the publication.

“What continues to impress me is the ability (of Russia) to deploy (troops) very far and very quickly,” said US Commander for Europe Ben Hodges.

"These successes show that President Vladimir Putin has modernized the army, which, as many believed, has lagged behind Western designs for years," sums up Business Insider.

        You would be shocked to fully understand how our authorities have always been dependent on the opinions of the most insignificant foreigners. This nastiness lasts even from the tsars, smoothly passes into the slavish worship of the Soviet authorities under the USSR (it would seem ... but it was funny, wild and incredibly disgusting) and is completely in power now. A small article in a newspaper from the very anus of the Western world becomes a major event in the Kremlin. Alas.

    Unfortunately, or more precisely, the defense potential of a state is not only the power of its armed forces, although for a start it’s the very first thing ... Now we have taken the first step, but the road is long to complete victory and it must be covered ... demand in the world, as well as for the currency of other developed countries and unions, the second step will be taken ... When it will be possible to grow rich in your country, and not for export, not a step will be taken, but a leap, then it will be possible to talk about democracy, freedom of speech, etc. ... And not on the contrary ...))) Comrades, if on the contrary - this is a divorce! Have already passed. Then we will join the "friendly family of European nations. In the meantime, dig trenches and ditches for the foundation of new factories and schools ... Enough hatred, it's time to move on to violence!)))

      Let me agree with you, but not in everything. Accents and priorities need to be set differently.
      - Firstly, it is possible to get rich even with us and even this hour, the main thing is that this is not to the detriment of the state and people.
      - secondly, again this is the infamous word democracy and the concept of freedom of speech. It is necessary to strive for a normal civilized society with the unity of all peoples and the correct concepts of freedom and freedom of speech where it does not mean that I want, then I create.
      - thirdly, why should We join some kind of "friendly" European family there? Again Should we? Noooooo comrade we have our own family according to our values and customs, and we do not need to be secondary. This is our Russian civilization, and if anyone wants, then let them be added to us, but not in reverse and leave their values in their priceless civilization.
      - and the fourth. We do not hate the rest - we confront them in a given period of time (era) and we will not deal with violence (evil gives rise to evil). We will be reasonable, humane, but strong and tough towards them.
      
      So be attentive to words and reasonably approach all problems with looking back into the past and looking into the future. Good luck.

    Russian airstrikes in Syria make a minimal contribution to the common cause aimed at the destruction of the “Islamic state”, RIA Novosti reports a statement by the commander of US operations against the IS in Syria and Iraq, Sean McFarland.

      Well, in general, this is the main merit in the modernization of Shoigu, and the main merits in this area of Putin are large-scale sudden checks of combat readiness and that he nevertheless "passed" Serdyukov. Although, the question immediately arises: why was it difficult for Kuzhugetich to drop at the Ministry of Defense immediately, without the "Serdyukov Stage"? He, of course, would have resisted, but where would he go.

This is another matter! And then the military operation of Russia is ineffective. Envy and fear.

By the way, you can broadcast on the air that our experts who helped the Syrian colleagues suffered from shelling of the Turks. And then raze their entire outpost with the ground. And the Americans should say that we will not tolerate such violations from any NATO member.

Well, once again the enemies praise us, it means they conceived something vile, the West has never had honesty.

Everything is true, if they praise it, it means they will spoil it somewhere, if they criticize it, it was possible to prevent muck.

good weapons, but from the last century, the Americans are no longer fighting. They have in their arsenal tsunami waves, mosquitoes, forest fires on thousands of hectares, peaceful protesters

I will quote the classic of Russian fiction Andrey Velichko, the book "Uncle Zhora"

In fact, I have long noticed that if a war between some states is forced or provoked from outside, then long before the start of relations between future opponents worsen. But if it is being prepared by one of them, then when the events reach the finish line, it is overwhelmed by the simply irresistible peacefulness! In this regard, the question, for example, who conceived the Second World War in our world, was clear to me - it was the one who first began to curl around Hitler, almost kiss him passionately.

NATO started talking about "what a fine fellow Russia is," while playing us off against Turkey, indulging Erdogan.
Bad situation. Provocations will be even tougher. One must be prepared to answer no less harshly. And so that they were afraid to continue the escalation - a blow not only to the performers, but also to the customers ’wallet.

They don’t admire anything there! Just as they considered us cattle and savages who managed to stuff an atomic bomb into a club, they still do!
