15:40 - the joke at first went like this this: Russian army supposedly was the second best in the world, turns out, it's the second best in Ukraine.
However, after June 24 "Wagner" march on Moscow, it got altered:
Stages of down-rating of the status of Russian forces:
1) up to 2022 - second best in the world;
2) 2022 - second best in Ukraine;
3) 2023 - second best in Russia.
P.S. On the issue of "Wagner Group" supposedly being very good - yes, their very core consisted of veterans of FSB "Vimpel" special unit and former GRU (it has been renamed a while ago) Specnaz guys, but that's not the shocking part, estimates show that during war in Ukraine "Wagner" alone consumed around 5% of Russian budget in payments, ammo, equipment and supplies. I mean... WoW! That's just one "private" part of Russian forces, how much all of their forces combined consume?! And we in NATO sometimes are complaining about 2% for military budget being too much.
