They certainly did have one at one point - but don't let memories of the cold war taint your view. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been extremely inept and most of that lack of competence is the fact that the military-industrial funding levels established by the USSR were unsustainable by the USSR and Russia has been completely unable to match them while being robbed left and right by oligarchs.
- pm90 5y agoSure it may not be the best but they’re still pretty good. I would also want to be careful about differentiating between Russian military performance and the effectiveness of its MIC. Russian Military failures seem to be largely tactical; their weapon systems seem to be working as expected.
