  1. ​ @Romanotieu  look at the number produced. About 100 IS-1. By the wartime USSR standards it's nothing more than experimental design
    123
  2. A problem with modern western assesments of Russian Military is the lack of qualified experts on Russia. This leads to a variety of absurd statements in the reports. Such as meanings of word "maskirovka" or using of term "Russian Spetsnaz"

  9. > They have had issues supplying even small forces in close proximity, such as in Ukraine and Georgia Err, what? >Their power projection in Syria isn't very impressive. comparing with who? >Somewhat ironic is the fact that much of the Soviet nuclear arsenal was based in Ukraine when the USSR collapsed. somewhat ironic, that it is a absolute crap
    33
  10. +Conor7734 33 you mixed up Russia and Ukraine.
    32
  11. +4 Tonnes of Fury Really? Greece, with direct access to the Mediterranean, don't hold a tactical advantage? And Finland didn't 'join' USSR
    31
  12. +Scott Christiansen I think, reports of Defence Intelligence Agency are written not by 'most people'.
    26
  13.  @ethanedwards422  IS-1 was designed as replacement for KV-1, capable of withstanding 75mm and 88mm shells. So, you can't compare it with T-34-85. But 85mm cannon was not enough

  14. +Drunkenstein you orthodox Christian and you hang out with Chechens? Are you their bitch of sort?

  19. Strangely, USSR wasn't excluded from the League of Nations for invading Poland

  22. +Smart LP problem with word 'maskirovka' described in the comment section of corresponding video by MHV. Problem with term 'Spetsnaz' is that it used by common people to reference all Russian special forces. But i think, such vulgar use of this term is inapropriate for report by US DIA.
    15
  23. +Serdiuk Paul >Spetsnaz is a term that is equal to specops. in Russia, in common use - yes. But that report was not compiled by russians, nor common people. >"Maskirovka" is a Western term for the famous Russian bullshitting skills, Nope. And you obviously didn't watch that video, or other video by MHV about 'maskirovka'

  24.  Owen K.  nope. And you don't know what communists are

  27. +Blah b ROFLMAO. You are so incredibly stupid, amazing how you know how to write. Do you think that T-72 was built with Thales optics? In 1980-s? "According to Thales engineers", my ass. Man, you are a walking joke

  28. +Claire AwesomeSauce >but not without losing more soldiers and equipment than they inflicted upon the Georgian military. WAT?
    11
  29. +gdansk87 >Another reason was to support ukraine against the soviet invasion And for that reason Poles captured part of the Western Ukraine and Lithuania? To support Ukraine?
    10
  30. +Serdiuk Paul Captain Obvious, is that you? I appreciate your efforts to insert your opinion in every discussion. But let it be more meaningful. Did you see 'SpN' in 'Russian Spetsnaz'?
    10
  31. +swatbot2611 yep.

  32. Thing is not about 'kickstarting the economy'. Thing is about raw materials USSR lacked. And yes, Soviet Union would have hold the line, but at much higher cost.

  33. >the war in Crimea WAT? >the continued war in Donbass lay mostly in vague what does the Russian armed forces have to do with this? > Regarding Syria, Russia prove its inabilities to conduct precise strikes and comprehensive reconnaissance says who? >which counts in hundreds OF COURSE! > and effectivness of US lead coalition what effectivness? Thousands of sorties with no apparent effect? US-trained and equipped elite troops, running back from ISIS fighters? Inability for months to take besieged city with all air and artillery support, provided by coalition?

  34. >didn't they also severely impact the German armies operational freedom? they impacted operational freedom on both sides >some soviet soldiers where sent to the front without guns and told to "pick up your fallen comrades riffles" AFAIK, there is no evidence about that being a regular practice

  38. +Bernhard Jordan it's hard to imagine, with all that Lebensraum thing

  39. +Matt Kid >Their are people living as if they where in the 1940s do they had satellite television in 1940s?
    8
  40. +Alexander Romanov the general term for more or less academic source would be 'Russian special forces'. Without all that aura of tabloid press, where term 'Spetsnaz' originated

  41. Americans could simply bring more tankers and use them as oil tanks

  42. +gdansk87 >but dont't try to make poland look bad, thats not the case Maybe you just will not try to make Poland look good? With all that 'support against soviet invasion' bullshit. > it was russian katharina who stole this land from poland. 'Stole'? As you said, 'It was a time when the borders of europe where newly created'. Or you forgot, when and how Poland asquired this land?

  47. +Tero Känsäkangas strangely, same histories are attributed to German machine-gunners. I see a trend here

  48. My two cents: 1) You're exaggerating the impact of cleansing in the officer corps. Quality the officer corps has fallen significantly due to the increasing the numbers of the Red Army 2) Carl Mannerheim served in the Russian Imperial Army, not in Red Army. So he was aware of the capabilities of of the Red Army as far as the Finnish intelligence knew about them

  49. >those arrested and sent to the rear ended up in the Gulags nope. They could end up in the army. In regular or penal units > which meant they were either executed, or worked to death GULAG was a labor camp system, not a death camp system

  50. > I'd rather die in a Panzer 4 lol. It's your choice. Soviet tankmen preferred to live in T-34-85
