The grave yard of Russian military equipment was impressive to see out in the Kuwaiti desert.

If there is anything the Russians know better than most, it is armored warfare.

Whatever you think of Putin and his Generals, they are developing every offensive and defensive military capability they can develop or steal, just like the Red Chinese.

We are not! And people who don’t know who their enemy is and recognize the threat, lose!

Also of interest has been the introduction of new equipment to VDV units: first and foremost the BMD-4M amphibious infantry fighting vehicle and the BTR-MDM Rakushka armored personnel carrier, both of which began arriving in 2015.

But those are not their only air-droppable armor assets. Wonder if they've air-dropped a T-14 yet. Maybe on 02 August, we'll find out.
