President Vladimir Putin said that there was no need to worry about the Russian army, as everything was fine with it. He mentioned this on December 9 at a meeting of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights (HRC).
“There is no need to worry about our army – everything is in order with it, it is developing,” the head of state said.
In addition, during the HRC meeting, Putin stressed that part of the world considers the Russian Federation its enemy, although “Russia has not become an enemy of any country.”
On November 19, The National Interest wrote that the announcement by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu about the creation of the latest S-550 anti-aircraft missile system had an incredible effect in the West.
Thus, a military expert and author of the War Is Boring blog, Sebastien Roblin, expressed confidence that, in the event of a hypothetical conflict with the United States, the Russian Federation will have a serious advantage in the form of the latest developments.
In mid-September, the Pentagon announced that Russia has an incredibly powerful military, and the United States needs to understand how it has managed to transform them over the past two decades.
At the same time, columnist Chris Osborne, in his article, urged not to joke with the Russian army, since its armed forces, thanks to their modernization, pose a threat to the United States and NATO. He noted that the Russian Federation is not only creating new weapons, but also modernizing parts of its mechanized weapons and platforms, in particular, the T-72 tank.
In turn, the candidate for the post of US permanent representative to NATO Julianne Smith called Russia the main military threat to NATO in the coming decade. She believes the alliance has been able to strengthen its ability to confront Moscow since 2014, but much remains to be done.
