19FortyFive: the Russian army has changed a lot

In the publication of the American edition of 19FortyFive, columnist Sebastian Roblin tried to dispel four myths about the Russian army.

According to the author, the war in the North Caucasus in 1994-1995 is not an indicator that the Russian army has remained the same after a quarter of a century. The observer is sure that the Russian Armed Forces have changed a lot in response to the events in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria and Ukraine, in particular, they received high-precision ammunition and drones.

Another misconception about the Russian army is the assertion that the latter always relies on superior numbers to defeat the enemy. According to the author, currently the Russian army is betting heavily on contactless methods of warfare, where high-precision long-range systems play a leading role.

Roblin writes that the Russian army mainly consists not of poorly trained conscripts, but of well-trained contract soldiers.

The fourth misconception, as the author writes, is the allegedly low defense spending of Russia. According to the observer, "the Russian army gets more return from its ruble."

"We need to abandon stereotypes — even those that have a historical basis - that incorrectly characterize what the Russian Armed Forces can and cannot do today," Roblin concludes.

In January, 19FortyFive called the German Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus the "worst of the worst" tanks in world history.
