Another pointless thread... American army is better for America, Russian is better for Russia.

Training and equipment comparison - sadly for us, but this is where Americans are far ahead right now. Situation is improving in Russian army, but too slowly, is you ask me.

Again, if you ask me, our main problems with army come from the fact that now we are mostly trying to rebuild scaled-down version of SA. That's a huge mistake - RF is NOT SU, we've got quite different tasks and threats, so we don't need "Soviet army of Russian Federation" they are trying to build right now.

AFAIK overall situation in RA is better then it is portrayed on the west, but is worse then displayed in our own official media - its more or less in the middle.
