Russia’s military was once feared—but Ukraine exposed the truth.
From rusted tanks and fake armor to outdated tactics and corruption, the Russian war machine is crumbling in real time.
In this video, we break down how one of the "world’s strongest" armies became a global embarrassment.

Freepers, as best I can see, aren't posting China and Houthi videos. It seems a feature of the Urkaine-Russia war that there have been three years' worth of " the Ukraine side of this invasion," as you say.
One reads, in part:
"Ukrainian restrictions on travel to the front have meant it is not possible to get a full picture of the situation."I tend to agree with the view that no "content creator" videos show, as the BBC states, "a full picture of the situation."'Everything is finished': Ukrainian troops relive retreat from Kursk BBC, 17 March 2025
What seems certain, as many are noting that our national debt interest payments are now larger than our DoD spending, and both add to a still rapidly-rising debt level, which no one opines is "sustainable."
War or debt, Stein's Law seems directly applicable. “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.”
In Russia the Muslims and other minorities are out reproducing the ethnic Russians.
Within Russia the ethnic Russian population has miserable birthrates and too much alcoholism. Making many men useless. In 2022 Putin wanted to grab and annex all of Ukraine, population 43 million, to instantly make Russia’s Slavic population into 150 million.
Putin has called Ukrainians “little Russians”

Why does Putin insist Ukranians and Russians are ‘one people’?

I have accepted your challenge but could only stand about two minutes of the off-the-wall propaganda. How about I give you some good quotes from the Ron Paul show? He's got some great articles about why we are spending billions on some corrupt country halfway around the world. You'd like it, I'm sure.
Sounds like your buddy Biden wrote the script.
You keep on promoting the endless wars that we've been fighting (and losing) for the last 50 years.
I challenge you to explain how we're gonna pay off $37 trillion in debt from these ever-ending wars. Better yet, I challenge you to explain how this house of cards is not heading toward an unsustainable end.
Yep. That's my challenge to you.
Because you are watching the narrative, not the battles
Best I can say, is that at least you gave it a shot.
Hey, thanks.
We'll just have to disagree on this one :-).
Yeah, the whole world sees that, but you’ll turn around and tell us Russia is a huge threat and the next thing you know, they’ll be attacking Poland the Baltic States. So, we better fight them now or fight them later.
Comrade Steven, "The Ukraine" is Russian propaganda talk and why would you use it?
Ukrainians claim their casualty exchange ratio is 3 Russians to 1 Ukrainian, on average, but rising to nearly 10 to 1 during Russian "meat wave" assaults.
One reason is that better medical services mean fewer Ukrainian wounded die or are left unable to return to military service.
Others say it's an exaggeration and the overall averages are more like 3 Russian casualties for every 2 Ukrainians, those number reversing when Ukrainians go on offense to recapture lost ground.
It matters because Russians outnumber Ukrainians as least three-to-one in a war of attrition Russians think they can win.
Overall, Russians are reported to have suffered over 900,000 total casualties, including 300,000 deaths, while Ukrainian casualties could be as high as 400,000, including 100,000 deaths.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is the most intense and long-lasting war in Europe since 1945.
You remain a braindead idiot, with zero discernment.
You are less than nothing
Ukraine and the West may well agree to a cease-fire in place, but neither will ever officially recognize Russia's conquests in Crimea, Donbas or elsewhere in Ukraine -- any more than we ever recognized the Soviets' conquests of Baltic countries after World War II.
MrRelevant: "Once again , Trump can say all of Ukraine is still in Russias crosshairs but reality , as pointed out by this exact thread, is they cant."
Pres. Trump recognizes reality -- that Putin's territorial ambitions are only limited by the physical forces opposed to him.
If Putin could take all of Ukraine, he would, but since he can't, he may agree to a ceasefire.
That's what's being negotiated.
MrRelevant: "Trump is not happy Putin is not bowing down immediately to his peace proposals… the war didnt end in 24 hours… as he said he could make happen, so take that with a grain of salt."
Pres. Trump put a lot of pressure on Zelensky to push him to agree with Trump's peace proposals -- that's what that Whitehouse meeting blow-up was all about.
Now Trump is working on Putin, and we'll see how that goes.
What happened in "24 hours" was the beginning of peace negotiations in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This alone helped reduce Russian threats of nuclear war against Ukraine and the West.
MrRelevant: "The beginning to the end of the war lies with Ukraine."
Anybody except an official Russian propagandist can see that war in Ukraine began with Russia's invasions of 2014 and 2022.
The wars will end when Russia's invasions end, and not a day before.
Yes, there will hopefully be ceasefires, and maybe an armistice, as in Korea in 1953.
But nobody will ever officially recognize Russia's aggressions in Ukraine as legitimate.
MrRelevant: "If folks would like to pretend Ukraine can win back its losses… throw a few hundred billion more at a money pit of a war… maybe send some young Americans over to “help” out….
Thats your prerogative….
But is a nightmare scenario."
In 1945, the West could do nothing to stop Soviets from seizing & annexing Baltic countries, but neither did we ever recognize it as legitimate, and so, some 46 years later, 1991, we helped the Baltic countries become independent of Russia and then guaranteed their security in NATO.
In 1953, the US signed a Korean War armistice with North Korea and CCP China.
South Korea did not sign and does not to this day officially recognize the armistice border lines.
That armistice has held now for over 70 years, and yet is unlikely to ever become a formal peace treaty.
The Vietnam War ended with North Vietnamese victory in 1975, but it was not until 1995 that the US (under Pres. Clinton) officially recognized North and South as one country ruled from Hanoi.
Those are analogies we can expect from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
I think 47 will eventually recognize what everyone else does about Putin an Russia: they have no intention of stopping the war, rather they are building up forces along the Finish Boarder with men and the latest T-90M tanks for the eventual invasion of the Baltics.
In fact, Russia cannot stop the war, else Putin would fall, and all the patriotic war propaganda they have been unloading on ordinary Russians would be another huge fail.
Despite whatever pronouncements from 47 or Putin we hear, the war will continue unto Russia surrenders either militarily or from economic collapse.
First, here's just one recent article reporting on Russia's threats to other European countries:
"Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev recently warned that Finland and Sweden are potential “targets” of the Russian military and could face “retaliatory” nuclear strikes in the event of a future war.
The warning comes as the Russian military is expanding its military presence at bases along Finland’s border.
"According to The New York Post, Russian state media reported that Medvedev suggested that both Finland and Sweden could potentially be in the “crosshairs” of the Russian military after joining NATO since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022."
"The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russian military have expanded military bases along the border of Finland.
The outlet specifically noted that Russia expanded a base in Petrozavodsk, which is located just 100 miles from the border of Finland.
Since April 1, 2025, Ukrainian forces advanced slightly back into Kursk and retook some ground near Pokrovsk.
It was nothing major but does suggest that Ukrainians are far from a defeated force, and Russians are far from the irresistible power you claim to be.

Let Europe worry then.
Russia's new Tavrida-2 railroad supplying Crimea:
That railroad is named Tavrida-2.
It's 310 miles and connects Rostov-on-Don through Mariupol to Crimea.
Work began in September 2023 and was mostly completed by August 2024.
Ukrainians have repeatedly attacked its bridges & junctions, but have been unable, as with the Kerch Bridge, to entirely stop its operations.
As for water flow from the Dnieper River to Crimea, that was cut off in 2014 and has not been restored, due to destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in 2022.
Since 2014, Russians in Crimea have adjusted and adapted to reduced water available, with the major losers being irrigation for agriculture.
Kazan: "2) Took control of most of the Kherson and Zaporizhia oblasts, including the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia"
"Most", but not all.
Russians currently claim all but only occupy roughly:
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, day by day:
Kazan: " 3)Annexed and integrated the people in those areas and Donetsk and Lugansk."
"Conquered and oppressed" is the correct description of Russians' rape of eastern Ukraine.
Kazan: "The Russians took an incredible amount of territory in the first nine months of the war."
In February & March of 2023, Russian forces occupied around 53,000 additional square miles of Ukrainian territory -- about the size of the state of Arkansas.
From April through December 2022, Ukrainians were able to liberate over half of Russia's new conquests, leaving Russia with about 23,000 new square miles, an area roughly the size of West Virginia.
Combined with Crimea, Russians then occupied some 18% of Ukraine's ~233,000 total square miles.
Since the end of 2022, Russians gained no significant new Ukrainian territories and lost around 800,000 casualties including 250,000 deaths.
Kazan: "What moron that created the video doesn't realize is that is the only other territorial objective Russia had was to liberate Donetsk and Lugansk, which it continues to do with meat grinder approach that is saving Russian lives."
Putin awards Solovyov:
That's only according to Kazan, not according to Russian officials and propagandists (assuming there's a difference).
Even Pres. Trump recently admitted that Putin wants to conquer all of Ukraine.
Propagandists Simonyan, Solovyov, Skabeyeva, Nordkin:
"Putin's Brain" & Russkiy Mirovich, Alexander Dugin:
Kazan: "You're dumb, low IQed war pig, Denny."
I've never understood why our Russian propagandists so clearly identify & expose themselves with ridiculous personal attacks and insults.
Mini-me Medvedev standing in front of map showing Russia's goals in Ukraine:
Glad to see you admit that.
That reason alone was justification for Russia going into Ukraine.
It was outrageous that the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev was cutting water off the the residents of Crimea. It's beyond absurd for the Ukrainians to claim they were or are trying to liberate the people there.
The Ukrainian government despises the people of Crimea because the people there no longer wanted to remain part of Ukraine after the illegal coup we fomented, one that saw a President they voted for impeached illegally.
You're the propagandist posting here and likely being paid to do so.
You've been caught lying here repeatedly.
You're defending the corruption within OUR GOVERNMENT under Obama and Biden.
Everything that has happened in Ukraine is a result of illegal coup we fomented in Ukraine that setoff a civil war. We then installed a government hostile to Moscow in violation of the Ukrainian constitution, which required Ukraine to be neutral toward Russia.
We absolutely promised Russia no eastward expansion of NATO in early '90s. Everyone, including Joe Biden in 1997, knew the Russians weren't going to tolerate NATO expanding eastward and posing on threat on its borders, especially one that threatened its access to its naval base in Crimea.
If Russia or China did something similar in Mexico, we would invade.
The people in the annexed DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO BEING PART OF UKRAINE. But, a sociopathic POS like you and those running Ukraine want to seize the land of the people and drive them out of their homeland, much like the Nazi ancestors did to Jews in Germany.
Why wouldn't they feel that way when we've have been expanding NATO eastward for years and fomenting coups on their borders with the one in Ukraine threatening access to their naval base Crimea, which they have operated since before the US Constitution was written.
A RAND corporation report openly stated and Estonian's Kaja Kallas openly admitted the goal is destroy Russia and break into six different countries.
NATO and we, you sociopathic, disgusting POS, have been the aggressors.
It's all been about money and enriching our corrupt politicians like Biden and oligarchs George Soros as well was getting our grubby hands on the $12 trillion of mineral there. And the globalist elite behind the war in Ukraine are the same ones pushing mass migration and green agenda on West. They have led an assault on free and fair elections in France and Romania and threatening do the same thing in Germany. They are behind the suppression of free speech in countries like Britain and Germany.
The NATO/EU/WEF cabal is the equivalent of the old Soviet Union and it is an infinitely greater danger to Western citizens than Russia.
You're defending tyranny, evil and modern-day imperilism.
May you burn in hell for doing so. You're the very definition of a war pig.
The battle in the world today is between globalist tyranny and nationalists, including those in the MAGA movement, that want to put the citizens of their countries first.
