The Russian military might be incompetent, it’s a long way from being fake, 10s of thousands of Ukrainians would disagree with you if they could, but they are dead.
They have just about everything a modern military should have, army, navy, air force, etc., they are firing missiles from the sea and other places into Ukraine with really good accuracy.
They have thousands of pieces of artillery using counter batter radar, they have attack drones and helicopters, etc.
Despite training and billions in equipment from the West, the Ukrainian military has made no meaningful advances against that incompetent military.
That same incompetent military using mercenaries kicked Ukraine out of Bakhmut.
That’s all pretty modern, plus they seem to have the ability to manufacture it.
The same geniuses that said Russia was a military juggernaut are now saying the same military is incompetent and won’t stop with Ukraine.
I said the hype was fake, many of us follow the Russian military and we were gaining some false impressions over the last couple of decades.
