their “new” production is a lot of hull modernisations
Yeah their new tanks should be pretty awful, and the armor not very good.
IDK why, but a lot of high level politicians such as state leaders, warn that Russia might be planning to attack EU/NATO.
I don’t really understand why that should be the case, because I think we will be way superior if they do. Especially since we are learning from Ukraine, plus we have our own technologies that are better than what Russia has.
The Russian economy is also collapsing now, so the idea that Russia should be able to wage a perpetual war is false IMO.
I think two reasons. One is that Russia is already attacking, the hybrid war is in full swing.
The other is that we actually had to send soldiers to our borders in preparation if an invasion this year, but it wasn’t Russia but the US who was planning to invade.
The hybrid war has been going on for decades, where Russia has undermined EU/NATO/USA.
but it wasn’t Russia but the US who was planning to invade.
Yes I think that is a HUGE part of it, European politicians just don’t say it directly, because they don’t want to anger Trump more than necessary, but everybody knows we can’t trust USA anymore. Russia succeeded probably more than Putin ever dreamt of with USA, and Brexit was also in part his doing. Russian ties to Boris Johnson and Farage are well documented.
And obviously Hungarian and Slovakian governments are also heavily compromised by Russia.
But USA must stand as his greatest achievement, but I suspect Putin didn’t foresee the Europeans so determination to built a better defense for ourselves.
