One of the most famous newspapers of the world, the British The Times, appreciated the equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and came to a curious conclusion: To date, Russia as a military power is at the peak of its combat capability compared with any other period after the collapse of the USSR. What pushed analysts to such a conclusion and in what the domestic sun exceed NATO's armies? Read further.

The large-scale modernization of the Russian army began after the conflict with Georgia in 2008. Global re-equipment touched on tanks and heavy artillery systems, intelligence and support means, even nuclear arsenal. The reorganization was subjected to naval fleet, and in 2015 the Air Force and the Air-Space Defense forces were united in VKS (air-space forces). Today, the Russian army consists mostly from contract soldiers and armed according to the latest technology.

One of the pledges of the defense capability of the Russian Federation is a highly efficient air defense, to oppose anything can not NATO, neither the world's richest US Army. According to the head of the special program of the aerobral command of the American Air Force of Max Bremora, Russia is strong primarily by anti-aircraft systems of the near and small radius ("shelter", "TUN", "TUNGUSA", "BUK") and portable SPK ("Verba" and "needle ").

Airplanes and helicopters of assault or military aviation of the United States are not physically able to hack such a defense - they will simply be shot down on the nettle. Use Superior F-35 fighter fighters is also risky, and even very expensive. First, they have big questions in terms of maneuverability and reliability. And secondly, they are invisible only at large altitudes, the radars are calmly in the bottom.

Thus, Bormor believes, an attempt to overcome the Russian air defense of the "losses both in the material part and in personnel".

The Russian IT project Sfera is moving rapidly to its release. One of the most ambitious on the idea of ​​network ecosystems is now undergoing testing and checking all components. Developers are open to investors' proposals. Read more about the project by reference.

Another undoubted advantage of the Russian army is a powerful artillery. The Pentagon estimated that Russia has more artillery attitudes and reactive mortars (RSZO) than any country of the North Atlantic Alliance. Moreover, we are talking about modern weapons capable of hitting the goal at a distance of up to 40 kilometers.

According to him, NATO is time to understand: the existing weapon allows the Russian troops to fire the upcoming enemy forces from a safe distance, being inaccessible.

It's not just firepower. Artillery calculations of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation work in a close conjunction with unmanned aviation and are even integrated into a single system. The fighting in the Middle East clearly showed that in the design and use of UAV, Russia has achieved a real breakthrough. In the same Syria, domestic drones were flying out about 16 thousand times.

Small Russian drones at low altitudes can overcome even American bp fever systems, which Pentagon spent billions of dollars and who are still not able to track up to 40% of drones. Meanwhile, small drones perform an important function of transmitting the exact coordinates of the target to artillery calculations.

While the Russian Suns are constantly improving tactics and increase the number of UAVs, Colonel Bormor calls on NATO to radically revise the priorities and take an example from Russia in terms of artillery, air defense and production of small drones.

How do you think the US is counting to compensate for lagging in artillery due to aviation?
