  1.  @startingbark0356  the ruble raising is such a joke. The ruble can't be used to buy most goods and exists in a bubble. Yale did a study last month. They found over 1,200 companies left Russia and they employed 40% of the population. The stock market sunk 60%, it would have gone lower but the rest is frozen western assets that can't sell. Russian economy is a failing joke. The economy fell apart and many russians don't have a job any more. Probably one of the reasons the freedom legion is so active blowing stuff up behind russian lines...

  2.  @startingbark0356  the t-72 and KA-52 have proven to be garbage on the battle feild. Both have clear and obvious design flaws and tend to get wrecked at an alarming rate. Can't imagine anyone wanting to be inside either of those failed designs.

  3.  @startingbark0356  nobody uses the AK 47 it was discontinued 1962. They use the AK 74, 5.45mm. Which is way better then the AK 12 which russia uses. The gas system is very prone to fowling. They can pump out like 2 magazines before they need to be taken appart and cleaned. Ak 12 has proven to be a joke like the T-72 "space tank" and the KA 52 "sky tank". Russian equipment is a joke these days.

  4.  @startingbark0356  all of the Moskava defences were from the 90s. Yeah old ships suck. They should have upgraded to modern tech.

  5.  @startingbark0356  AK-47 was discontinued in 1959 and isn't used by any militaries. It had a jamming problem. The AKM foxed that but had a recoil problem. It took the AK-74 to make Kalashnikov get popular. Also you can look it up. The AK-12 gas operated system fowls up fast and needs constant frequent cleaning. It can manage about 2 mags before it has accuracy issues and jams up.

  6.  @startingbark0356 that's ignorant, with the 47 you literally can't. Read a book, look it up. 📖 You are thinking of the AK-74 the only good version of Kalashnikov and by far the most produced and copied.

  7. Acording to lavarov the defense industry lives hand to mouth. They even sold fighter jets for coffe and palm oil a few years ago. It's a desperate struggling industry.

  8.  @blacklion8208  they do have great submarines. As Michael Kofman always says "the russian Navy looks best under water".

  9.  @startingbark0356  nobody is talking about apache. It's Abrams and A-10 that are going to Ukraine

  10.  @startingbark0356  can't do worse then the T-72 popping turrets blasting off like team rocket from the slightest hit.

  11.  @startingbark0356  the T-72 lined the turret with shells and an auto laoader. The abrams puts them in the rear with special blow out pannels above them. If they do get hit the abrams will direct the force up and out of the tank. T-72 is a failed mess of a tank. You can watch the recent Perun video posted today. He just went over the design flaws of the T-72 And how superior adrams is.

  12.  @startingbark0356  there are lot's of clips on YouTube of the Abrams tanking blows like it was nothing. Where as the t72 can barely take a RPG 76 to the turret.

  13.  @startingbark0356  yet there are clips of a polish RPG 72 slipping some hot metal between the turret and chasie, cooking off the ammunition and sending the turret practically to the moon. As for Kalashnikov the AK 47 was trash and replaced for the AKM. AKM had some problems and was replaced by the actually good AK-74. The AK-12 is new and it's showing it has a terrible performance. Kalashnikov is mostly popular for their decades old rifle. While everyone is upgrading their rifles to next gen, russia is being left in the wind.

  14.  @startingbark0356  Forgotten weapons on YouTube then. The 47 is right at home ther. Let Ian explain it to you.
