The reason Russia has 1 aircraft carrier is because they have no naval bases that can produce them. also when the soviet union collapsed Russia sold 2 of its carriers to china as they were being built. another fact is that Russia technically does not have any carriers, it calls them heavy cursers that are able to hold aircraft. however the biggest reason they do not have carriers is the Russian Navy doctrine. when the USSR collapsed, Russia had no money, so they decided instead of building a navy that could rival the US, they would build a Navy that could out gun them. Russia began build frigates, destroyers and corvettes with up to 12x the amount of missiles per ship when compared to the US. biggest difference being that Russian ships can now carry hypersonic missiles, which the US current has none of.
"The sheer amount of everything" as you called it is what's keeping trouble at bay from us here in the US, as well as from you and all of our other allies.
The navy does that by itself. Without the US Navy, global trade is impossible. Everything else its subject to negotiation. My best friend is a Army Green Beret and we’ve had this conversation; the order of importance is Navy, Air Force, Army. Money should be allocated accordingly.
As to your question about the Olympics - NBC basically has all the rights to show Olympic coverage in the US, and while the focus is highly Americanized and focused on American athletes, they definitely commentate on athletes from other countries, especially if they're crazy talented/have a cool story. They also usually always point out athletes from other countries that either trained in the US or went to university in the US and participated in NCAA athletics (there are many athletes from all over the world that come to the US to do college athletics, especially in track/field, swimming, etc.) So, long story short, yes, very Americanized approach, but they don't act like other countries don't exist. There's always at least one or two commentators from other countries contributing, as well (usually British)! Hope this answered your question.
I believe that the amount of everything we have is important because of the giant superpowers that are China and Russia and all of the smaller powers that don’t like America
These are neat just wish they went into some detail! Keep up the vids man love this stuff :) My thoughts are at the end of the day someone is going to project power and have to be able to check aggressive states. We are just in that position to do it and if we want to be a world player we have to stay on the world stage and thats a big military because of geographic location requires us to have the ability to project power and that is $$$$
About the fact that Russia has 1 aircraft carrier Russia makes bets on its submarines, since Russian submarines are the most powerful in the world and they carry much more nuclear missiles than the United States and Russia have missiles against aircraft carriers
That still won't make any sense. USA also have bombes u mentioned and USA Would Rule Navy And Air. On Land Russia Is Better, but that won't make any sense when USA Will Rule Air And Water ...
Yes russia has a defensive military doctrine whereas the US has a offensive doctrine. therefore investment into different combat vehicles is the result ie russia tanks US air and naval power.
Это да. Особенно авианосец, только для наступления, и то, против слабых стран. Да и старый век это, России они не нужны, самолёты без дозаправки на тысячи километров сами долетят. И к тому же, авианосец дорогая, жирная уязвимая цель...

The majority if olympic coverage in the US mainly focuses on our athletes. Often though there will be coverage of events that focus on athletes from other countries...Usually if there is a "good story" concerning that athlete's path to "Olympic glory". We love hearing stories about how an athlete overcame long odds to achieve success. The English ski jumper (1988 winter olympics), Michael Edward's (Eddie The Eagle) is a great example of this😁
that 48 Billon dollars is not true, Russia up front admits to spending 65 Billion, however reports from within the government claim they spend close to 200 Billion. Russia has spent the last 20 year modernizing its Army from weapons like the T-72, BTR-60 SU-25 fighters. as of 2020 Russia has modernized 70.7% of its military. highest in the world. you may not believe it but that is true.
When it comes down to it, the USA is the only nation that needs to have a major Navy and Airforce to really project power, due to us being surround by ocean and or allies. Both Russia and China's primary concerns are the nations and resources directly around them, nearly all of which can be reached by land. Only recently have they been pushing to try and makes gains in those areas, thus why for example Russia only has one aircraft carrier. (didn't it catch on fire, was that a different one?)
how is that possible when you're located on an island? have you seen the navy difference(unless, you think someone will go nuclear)? stop scaring yourself.. for now, only America take's everyone off board with all the wars they started.
I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m sure that the comparison will not include the section "maneuvering hypersonic weapons" and "transcontinental nuclear torpedoes." Due to the fact that the United States does not have these weapons. And, it seems, it will not appear soon, 10 or 20 years.
I get having pride but that falls into the pointless weapon catagory because it means MAD. just be honest and accept the fact Russia has a scary military but in any conventonal war they stand no chance even without America's allies joining. Russia has a great core of military personnel but most of it is conscripted people who could care less. If the united states invaded Russia for some crazy stupid reason then I would be worried. A motivated Russian military would be a cluster fu..... That would make both of our afganistans look like a vacation in Fiji.
@@vorsutus753 Yet science only moves forward with weapons. There is no hatred, if one country is ahead of another, we will definitely share. Equilibrium.
@@alexandrnoskov5437 first I will say in was drinking when untyped the previous stuff so if I came across as an ahole I am sorry. As for Russia has not attacked anyone. I assume you mean recently(still sound it just not as bad) because Russia has been one of the most aggressive nations in history.
Советую почитать где нибудь про российскую гиперзвуковую ракету " Циркон ", она умножает на ноль все авианосцы штатов. Так что все эти сравнения так себе занятие.
You asked what countries have stealth bombers and that tickled my interest. Looked it up and apparently only the USA and Israel have used stealth bombers in combat... but the Israel stat is about 2 F-35s so I think its safe to say the B-2 is the only Stealth Bomber in the world And, while I do see it as excessive, I think its a necessary investment from the USA Military to be the size it is. The main thing is deterrence, not only of attacking us but also any other countries starting another world war. If we never use them, thats great because it means that the deterrence was strong enough and I would rather waste billions of dollars than millions of lives
The purpose of American military policing the world is a debate here in the US too. The answer to if America's decision to police the world pays off... We played isolationism until we were forced to join WWI and WWII. That costs us an unimaginable number of our young men. Since WW II, all of our military interventions, police actions, invasions, etc... All of the deaths of 75 years of policing the world hasn't cost us as much loss as one year if WWI or WWII. It's that simple. We lose 8,000 in an isolated 20 year war now rather than 8,000 in one battle of a world wide war. Now, there's people who hate America for its large military, it's world presence, it's meddling in international affairs. But because America does that...many people in this world sleep safe at night, taking that security for granted. If America had returned to isolationism after WWII, would Europe be different today? Would Asia? Ask this, knowing Russia has a long history of expansion, knowing China's is currently trying to forcibly expand...would it be a different world with an isolated American policy History is filled with nations trying to take over the world. If Germany, if Napoleon, if Mussolini, Stalin, Putin... If China or North Korea had the dominance that America has possessed for decades, do you think they would have shown the restraint America has
@@JamesCornwall95 Hello from Russia!) I would like to clarify a few points for you and the viewers of the channel: 1. The military budget of the countries: * The US military budget is $ 750 billion. $ 750 billion-it seems unrealistically large, if you do not go into details. The distribution of the US military budget is as follows: 66% goes to salaries and training of the military (the army is contracted), as well as to support infrastructure. 750-66% = 255 billion. In total, there are only 255 billion left for the development of the army - for the purchase of new equipment and weapons. * Russia's military budget for 2020 is $ 61 billion. It would seem that a very small amount, but this is if you do not know that Russia specifically keeps the exchange rate of its own currency - the ruble, and it is already 3 times underestimated (the ruble is the most undervalued currency in the world - you can check it by reading the so-called "BigMac index")! Why is this being done? Because Russia is the largest exporter of hydrocarbons. Trade with other countries takes place with the help of the dollar, therefore, the higher the dollar exchange rate, the more rubles we can get for our goods. How does this affect the practice? So, everything is very cheap in dollars. For example, I pay only$ 2.37 per month per month for my cell phone. At the same time, my monthly package includes: 1300 minutes of calls to cell and landline phones throughout Russia + unlimited Internet! In the US, it will cost, I think, $ 100, or even all 300. So, based on this, given the fact that Russia produces all weapons itself, for rubles, and the real value of the ruble is 3 times higher - the real military budget of Russia is not $ 61 billion, but about $ 200 billion (in terms of its purchasing power + the shadow budget). In total, the United States has $ 255 billion and Russia has $ 200 billion. And if everything is clear with military equipment, it costs us on average 3-4 times cheaper, then in the case of scientific developments, the difference is significantly greater. Let's assume that the United States spends 100 billion of the remaining 255 billion on scientific research. Since the average salaries of scientists in Russia are about $ 1,000 per month, and in the United States $ 5,000 - $ 10,000 per month, it turns out that the allocated amount of $ 100 billion in the United States will be comparable to $ 10-20 billion allocated to scientists in Russia. That's the whole secret of how we manage to have the second most powerful army in the world with such a budget. ____________________ 2. "Russian equipment is mostly outdated" - you will probably be very surprised, but Russia has invested about $ 300 billion in the rearmament program (as you already understand, this is about $ 1 trillion in its purchasing power). "Today, everyone understands and states, some with anger, some with approval, that the Russian army has almost 71 % of modern weapons and equipment. This is the highest percentage among all the armies in the world (that is, higher than in the United States and China). " - said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. Moreover, this rearmament program has been extended indefinitely. And now about $ 300 billion is allocated for it every 10 years. ____________________ 3. According to such statistical videos, it is impossible to draw any serious conclusions about the balance of forces. Since they completely do not take into account the quality and technical characteristics of the combat systems in service with the countries, as well as the specifics of their application. For example, it is known that the United States has the largest and most powerful aviation and fleet. Russia took an asymmetric path and, instead of trying to create a fleet and aircraft of similar power , created the best missile defense and air defense systems in the world, as well as electronic warfare systems that completely offset the advantages of the United States in the air. And most importantly, Russia is the first country in the world to create and adopt a revolutionary weapon-hypersonic missiles. From which no one on earth has any protection. With their help, we can easily sink US aircraft carriers, destroy missile defense systems, production centers, warehouses, airfields and enemy command posts. Neither the United States, nor China, nor anyone else has working hypersonic missiles in service. The US will have them no earlier than ~2025-2030.
США кувалдой могут только папуасов по джунглям гонять. Кого США победили? Англичане то так себе вояки, а уж американцы и говорить не о чем. В этом мире воевать умеют только русские и немцы.
Russia has one carrier but I think it broke down and had to be towed home, and then during the repairs there was a fire or something, so basically they have zero operational at the moment. The U.S. has 11 nuclear-powered supercarriers and 20 carriers overall.
I think we need it. I don't think its overkill. Unfortunately the technology is out there. A hundred years ago countries couldn't fight each other like we are able to do now. It's the negative side of technology but needed to be safe. It just goes and seems to be picking up speed. Scary
Americans and Russians are not desert fighters we both lost in Afghanistan not because we are weak but because they are clever in many ways and politics limit our actions
Total numbers usually don't mean much. It's more about quality. Take for instance in the Gulf War when small groups of modern American M-1 Abrams tanks fitted with GPS and night vision were knocking out dozens upon dozens of (Russian made) Iraqi tanks with complete ease. That's not to say quantity isn't important, but you need the quality first and foremost. For example people underrate just how advantageous those 70,000 armored cars are for moving troops around and keeping them protected and highly mechanized, and if you notice nobody, not Russia nor China come even close to having that many. America usually has both quantity and quality or at the very least the quality. Even if sheer numbers alone were important, tens of thousands of tanks and artillery pieces would be rather useless in a war against the United States, who you can't invade by land and who has stealth bombers capable of vaporizing entire armored formations with tactical nukes. The real indicators of military might in terms of weapons in today's warfare are things like aircraft carriers, nuclear subs, stealth bombers, next-gen fighters, nukes and of course the capability to successfully deploy those nukes. Then when you consider things like innovation, production potential and combat experience it's easy to see why America ranks over Russia and China.
Wow, the people the people who made the comparison video left out a HUGE amount of US weapons! They only compared USAF planes, and ignored the fact that the USN had MANY planes that fit in their categories, like tankers, AWACS, and EW. The US has many Amphibious warfare ships with flight decks that EASILY match the Russian "aircraft carrier", the Admiral Kuznetsov, which, unlike REAL aircraft carriers, lacks catapults and just has a silly ski ramp. Of course, other countries also have relatively modestly sized ships with flight decks and ski ramps that they try to call aircraft carriers as well. Oh, and most US carriers and almost all submarines are nuclear powered, while Russia mostly runs on Diesel.
Right now, Russia has the most modern nuclear arsenal and 70 percent of Russia's military equipment is new and modernized, and Soviet old equipment is in military warehouses.

Человек немного шарит в статистике(respect) Но за вооружение РФ конечно не шарит) В ролике странность, парень как будто оправдывается....За что? Америка действительно играет в полицейских и навязывает свои интересы миру, но думаю Китай следующий)
To answer why we have such a large military: We have treaties with a lot of smaller nations that if attacked we will come to their defense. If something goes to crap, we can have a military force in the area ready for war within 24 hours anywhere on the globe. The day America falls or is incapacitated, is the day ww3 begins. We keep China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and terrorists at bay as much as possible due to our global presence. We have 11 supercarrier fleets patrolling the world, each with enough power on board to tilt the Earth’s axis. (True story)
I dont know for certain bit I think you were spot on with your assessment as to why Russia has so many tanks and mechanized armor. If you think back to the cold war era, it was assumed there would be a major ground war in Eastern Europe. Tanks would be integral in that kind of land war. I suppose it was assumed that our NATO allies in Europe would provide tanks and other mechanized armor in order to meet the Russian threat. Personally I think our (American) defense budget is way too high. I believe a fairly high amount of spending is not only to support our armed forces, but also to support and improve our allies' military capabilities. An invasion of the continental US is unlikely. Therefore we project military "might" around the world with several bases in allied countries. Maintaining and supplying those bases is extremely expensive too. Just my opinion, mind you.

Of the 750 billion, only $ 250 billion remains - this is the real US military budget. Russia has all the things that you have listed. Both biological and chemical weapons. And as for AI, it is ALREADY used in the Russian army. "The Ministry of Defense Russian Federation is creating the first unit equipped with shock robotic complexes." These robots are already able to work completely autonomously, but they are not yet given this opportunity. The decision is made by the operator whether to attack the target or not, and the AI does everything else. Will the US become stronger and stronger? Are you serious? Russia is already blocking all US attempts to invade other countries. The US tried to invade Syria, but nothing came of it, as Russia sent its troops there and began to eliminate US-backed terrorists. China cannot overtake Russia in many areas, such as the nuclear industry and technology, hypersonic weapons (they do not have the appropriate materials and technologies like the United States), missile defense systems, electronic warfare systems (we are also significantly ahead of the United States in this area) and much more. India cannot overtake Russia, since it does not produce weapons itself. In addition, both China and India are friends of Russia. The United States is currently actively losing its status as a world hegemon precisely because of the strengthening of Russia and China.

Russia can definitely show up in Europe if they need to, but anything more than that, they're unable. Back in the soviet days they were an actual threat with their military power alone, but they have increasingly become irrelevant on the world stage as nations shift their focus towards China. The US sanctions crippled Russia after their invasion and annexation of Crimea, they want their old soviet borders back, which includes Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic countries and the "Stan" countries in Central Asia not including Pakistan and Afghanistan. Russia has shown time and time again that it is not ready for large scale conflict, their military has degraded so much after the collapse of the soviet union to the point their aircraft carrier has to have a repair vessel accompany it at all times (the carrier actually broke down not to long ago) the only threat they pose is their nuclear arsenal. The United States is extremely necessary right now, if they stopped existing today, all the nation's that have ambitious tendencys will immediately attack their enemies to try and fill the vacuum the US left behind. It would be all out war.
Definitely not made by an English speaker. Rocket projectors? Aircrafts(sic)? Some of the images are incorrect. During war the Coast Guard is part of the USN. It has 1400 "patrol vessels". Did anyone mention that while Russia has 2 million who can be recalled, and have AKs but no ammo, American citizens own approximately 500 million firearms and lockers full of ammo.
It's unfortunate, but absolutely necessary. Being successful attracts challange. When the US acts weak, nasty places act badly, see Syria and Russia, N. Korea, Iran generally, China generally.
The redistribution of forces clearly shows that Russia is not an aggressor country, its structure consists of defensive systems, while the United States, on the contrary, is the aggressor, its attacking systems, including a large number of aircraft, missiles and aircraft carriers
Of course the reason American systems are so aggressive, is because so many countries expect America to be the world Police. Of course the stupid shitn about that is that then saw the same country is give America s*** for having such a big military and enterinh into other world events
Well Russia was destroyed to the ground in ww2 and lost a huge piece of their population in ww2 and was already late for the industrialization by couple 100 years so that would set them back to the arms race a lot, and all that also applies to China.
I believed Russians population is almost the same as the NATO combined or over ,, I'm not really sure but I think it's close,, without combined NATO...
If we take all the NATO countries, we will get about 946,000,000 people, including military (5,162,000) If we take the BRICS countries, we will get about 3,308,430,000 of them military (272,000,000)
Парень ты не прав, с момента когда была придумана ракета как средство доставки до цели авиация уже не имеет приоритета. Первое, самое технологичное пока это ракеты и Россия имеет преимущество в этом над всеми. Где есть ракетные войска авиация летать долго не сможет. Второе Россия это сухопутная страна, а потому для боя на земле имеет много танков. Их вполне хватит чтобы контролировать землю. Третье, чтобы лишить морские державы их преимуществ во флоте у России есть огромное преимущество в минных заградителях, засеяв минами моря можно блокировать ВМФ любых стран надолго, потому что чистить от мин проходы это проблема. Кроме того, армия США это армия времен холодной войны, в тоже время Россия имеет армию вооруженную лазерами и гиперзывовыми ракетами, это армия современее американской.
aircraft carriers are nice juicy static targets to a missile power. russia has worlds most powerful missile arsenal (supersonic and hypersonic), they will decimate aircraft carriers, which are useful against defenseless countries with no real army and with nothing to throw back. Also nato advantage in number of aircrafts is no use against russia which has worlds largest air defense systems (s300,s400,s500,s550, tor,pantser,buks,strela etc etc) with tens of thousands of missiles, that will intercept aircraft that fly in uninvited. So nato has no advantage over russia. And ofcourse russia has worlds largest and most powerful nuclear arsenal along with worlds most powerful ICBMs, which means no country will dare to launch nukes first since they will guarantee get wiped out. So we will never see a nato vs russia war. Just proxy wars. Stealth doesnt make u invisible,just small radar cross section ,again no use to russia with its long range radar coverage of all kinds, and long range air defense systems that will shoot down anything that flies. russia has good balance of offense and defense.
Norseman...the main reason why Russia would be ranked higher in military capabilities than China, despite perhaps having a lower defense budget, would likely be the much higher number of nuclear weapons in Russia's stockpile. Of course, China is not bound from having more nukes by any arms control treaty that I know of, and we only have the word of the Chinese Communist Party that China possesses only the modest number of nukes they claim to possess. Estimates of China's real stockpile range from as few as 80 (🤣🤣🤣) up to 2000 or more. Your laugh when the numbers for USAF vs Russian Air Force total aircraft came up was...priceless. 💯😂 In regard to the Olympics...I gave up on caring about those back in 2004...what the IOC did to Greece, and what Greece did to itself for those games really soured me on the whole thing for good...and it really has only gotten worse. I think Los Angeles was insane to even make a bid for the games, and I predict that the malfeasance of all involved that goes along with LA hosting in 2028 will shock the world.🖖✌😢
we are not idiots, we do not hope to defeat 30 countries with an attacking strategy. Russia does not need aircraft carriers, the fleet must be located near the coast, thus anti-aircraft installations will help the fleet, and also airbases will be located nearby. my idea is also supported by the fact that Russia has many ships carrying mines, which underlines its defensive nature. By the way, at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union there were 64,000 tanks, I would have paid just to see how this tank avalanche would move, I would have watched from the air, of course. Greetings from Russia
the US Airforce is not as powerful as you think it is. they claim to have 13,300 aircraft but what they fail to tell you is that 8,500 thousand of their aircraft are trainers or sitting in fields used for parts. While if you look at Russia, they have around 250 for trainer. also the majority of Russian attack aircraft are from the mid 1980s, while the US attack aircraft are from the early 1970s.
2/3 of Russia is Taiga and nothern permafrost lands, so no wonder these lands are not very populated. Even when smb speaks about "chinees threat" for these wast lands, it sounds funny) Chenees ppl are warm loving ans they prefer to move to USA in huge numbers)
In answer to your main question, as to whether the US spends too much on our military, the answer is yes...we almost certainly do spend too much...but not in the way most people think. For one thing, the US needs to go through a serious and vigorous round of Base Realignment And Closure...the process we use to decide what bases can be closed and which are truly necessary. There has not been an BRAC since 2005, and the previous rounds of BRAC were all fatally riddled with politics and did not really close enough bases. Trump had started the process of getting a new round of base closures in his last Defense Budget Request, but all Trump actions were cancelled as soon as Biden came into office, and Dems have thus far done nothing to indicate they intend to initiate and BRAC. Between the bases kept open for political reasons and all the millions of other ways the Pentagon wastes money for politics, the US could probably save at least $100 billion per year and suffer absolutely no loss in capabilities.

At the same time, my monthly package includes: 1300 minutes of calls to cell and landline phones throughout Russia + unlimited Internet! In the US, it will cost, I think, $ 100, or even all 300. So, based on this, given the fact that Russia produces all weapons itself, for rubles, and the real value of the ruble is 3 times higher - the real military budget of Russia is not $ 61 billion, but about $ 200 billion (in terms of its purchasing power + the shadow budget). In total, the United States has $ 255 billion and Russia has $ 200 billion. And if everything is clear with military equipment, it costs us on average 3-4 times cheaper, then in the case of scientific developments, the difference is significantly greater. Let's assume that the United States spends 100 billion of the remaining 255 billion on scientific research. Since the average salaries of scientists in Russia are about $ 1,000 per month, and in the United States $ 5,000 - $ 10,000 per month, it turns out that the allocated amount of $ 100 billion in the United States will be comparable to $ 10-20 billion allocated to scientists in Russia. That's the whole secret of how we manage to have the second most powerful army in the world with such a budget. ____________________ 2. "Russian equipment is mostly outdated" - you will probably be very surprised, but Russia has invested about $ 300 billion in the rearmament program (as you already understand, this is about $ 1 trillion in its purchasing power).

This is the highest percentage among all the armies in the world (that is, higher than in the United States and China). " - said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. Moreover, this rearmament program has been extended indefinitely. And now about $ 300 billion is allocated for it every 10 years. ____________________ 3. According to such statistical videos, it is impossible to draw any serious conclusions about the balance of forces. Since they completely do not take into account the quality and technical characteristics of the combat systems in service with the countries, as well as the specifics of their application. For example, it is known that the United States has the largest and most powerful aviation and fleet. Russia took an asymmetric path and, instead of trying to create a fleet and aircraft of similar power , created the best missile defense and air defense systems in the world, as well as electronic warfare systems that completely offset the advantages of the United States in the air. And most importantly, Russia is the first country in the world to create and adopt a revolutionary weapon-hypersonic missiles. From which no one on earth has any protection. With their help, we can easily sink US aircraft carriers, destroy missile defense systems, production centers, warehouses, airfields and enemy command posts. Neither the United States, nor China, nor anyone else has working hypersonic missiles in service. The US will have them no earlier than ~2025-2030.

Russia has has the technology to be a credible threat, though still short of the US in many fields, but has nowhere near the quantity or personnel for any sustained conflict. China has the numbers, in men and material, but greatly lags behind the US and Russia in technology, with most of the advanced tech they pretend to have being PURELY FICTIONAL. Furtheremore, China lacks the capability to transport any substantial forces far from their borders. BTW, I must apologize. I may have been overly critical of the apparent failure of the Brit education system. You guys are at least trying to learn things you weren't taught. Also, the Russian president is FAR more competent than the current American one, and possibly LESS corrupt.
with a global conflict, Russia will not need any personnel, it will all end in a global catastrophe in a matter of hours. Therefore, it makes no sense to compare conventional weapons.
Are you asking why Russia is so big? Precisely because she was constantly underestimated by those who attacked her. Russia was underestimated by the Kazan and Astrakhan Khanates - now Kazan and Astrakhan are part of Russia, the Ottoman Empire - now Crimea and Kuban are part of Russia, the Persian Empire - now the North Caucasus is part of Russia, the Kingdom of Poland - became part of Russia, the Principality of Lithuania - became part of Russia, the Swedish Empire - Russia received Finland, the French Empire - the Russians marched through Paris, the Third Reich - the Russians marched through Berlin, the Japanese Empire - the Kuriles became part of Russia. And even in this video it is clear that you underestimate Russia, history teaches nothing to some, unfortunately.
Абрамс, ну ни как не назовёшь современным танком (поступил в войска в 1980 г. ), Т-90 ( поступил в войска 2001 г.) Как видим Абрамс на 20 лет старше чем Т-90, это вам к сведению что западная военная техника более современная ( не надо ориентироваться на военный бюджет, в штатах он разворовывается по чёрному =))) Оба эти танка прошли глубокую модернизацию, так что это вполне современные танки. А по поводу всех этих сравнений, цифры на поле боя чаще всего просто цифры, главное боевой дух и правильное командование. Опыт второй мировой войны показал, что советская армия очень боеспособна, что не скажешь о союзниках ( американцах и англичанах ) Жаль, что запад после войны решил начать холодную войну против советов, которая продолжается и по сей день. Кстати большая разница в количестве того или иного вооружения обусловлено разными военными доктринами. США морская держава, омывается 3-мя океанами, поэтому военно морской флот и авиа несущие корабли играют важную роль. К тому же американцы, нация оккупант, главная стратегия которых подойти на авианосцах к побережью и разбомбить всю инфраструктуру противника, далее пустить на зачистку десант. У России другие задачи, наша цель контроль и охрана своих рубежей. Поэтому у нас количественный перевес в тяжёлой бронетехнике , артиллерии и ракетном вооружении.
I always thought if they started using their spending on better things like education, Healthcare, etc. It would make America a beacon like it used to be.

Nope, US would still win in land based fights. While Russia has more artillery and rocket launchers, most is very outdated. American artillery, in general, is longer ranged and much more accurate. As for combat vehicles, once again, American vehicles have better technology, especially in sensors, and better equipped and trained troops. While Russia CAN produce some similar equipment, they could not afford to actually upgrade, or sometimes, not even properly maintain their combat vehicles! Also, the US is FAR better at logistics, keeping forces supplied with food, fuel ammo, spare parts, et cetera.
@@ballinlikestalin, nope. Hitler was insane and would not listen to his generals at that point. In particular, try to use some common sense and look at my point on logistics. Hitler was amazingly inept and his men were very poorly supplied.
Russia has most updated nukes than any others, oldest one is 2009. If you attack Russian mainland You will die as a nation. Russia will end at the world end.
@@sheshatheblackqueen, only a truly stupid person would consider using nukes. It is true that Russia (and the USSR) has invested heavily in tactical nuclear weapons, which was a mistake, though justified if someone was paranoid enought to believe the U.S. was actually planning a full invasion of Russia. While it gave some slight political advantage (I suspect Russian "advisors" had smuggled some bombs into Serbia for defensive use in case of land invasion), the weapons generally could not be used. The USA had invested in highly ACCURATE MIRV weapons, especially SLBMs to efficiently destroy military, industrial, and government centers. I also would like to remind people that Russia had announced they had "lost track" of a large number (over a hundred) of Soviet warheads, apparently to try to establish plausiblr deniability.
All the US weapons can be defensed by Russia. But USA can't handle avangard. Only Russia has the most powerful weapon on the earth..both 1 and 2. Russia will expand further. Russia already started it. USA only can sanction 😂
"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." - Theodore Roosevelt
The reason Russia has 1 aircraft carrier is because they have no naval bases that can produce them. also when the soviet union collapsed Russia sold 2 of its carriers to china as they were being built. another fact is that Russia technically does not have any carriers, it calls them heavy cursers that are able to hold aircraft. however the biggest reason they do not have carriers is the Russian Navy doctrine. when the USSR collapsed, Russia had no money, so they decided instead of building a navy that could rival the US, they would build a Navy that could out gun them. Russia began build frigates, destroyers and corvettes with up to 12x the amount of missiles per ship when compared to the US. biggest difference being that Russian ships can now carry hypersonic missiles, which the US current has none of.

"The sheer amount of everything" as you called it is what's keeping trouble at bay from us here in the US, as well as from you and all of our other allies.
The navy does that by itself. Without the US Navy, global trade is impossible. Everything else its subject to negotiation. My best friend is a Army Green Beret and we’ve had this conversation; the order of importance is Navy, Air Force, Army. Money should be allocated accordingly.

As to your question about the Olympics - NBC basically has all the rights to show Olympic coverage in the US, and while the focus is highly Americanized and focused on American athletes, they definitely commentate on athletes from other countries, especially if they're crazy talented/have a cool story. They also usually always point out athletes from other countries that either trained in the US or went to university in the US and participated in NCAA athletics (there are many athletes from all over the world that come to the US to do college athletics, especially in track/field, swimming, etc.) So, long story short, yes, very Americanized approach, but they don't act like other countries don't exist.
There's always at least one or two commentators from other countries contributing, as well (usually British)! Hope this answered your question.

We are just in that position to do it and if we want to be a world player we have to stay on the world stage and thats a big military because of geographic location requires us to have the ability to project power and that is $$$$
My answer is unequivocally yes. All is necessary. The best deterrent is readiness.
About the fact that Russia has 1 aircraft carrier Russia makes bets on its submarines, since Russian submarines are the most powerful in the world and they carry much more nuclear missiles than the United States and Russia have missiles against aircraft carriers
That still won't make any sense. USA also have bombes u mentioned and USA Would Rule Navy And Air. On Land Russia Is Better, but that won't make any sense when USA Will Rule Air And Water ...
In the days of books, there was a set called "Jane's Fighting Ships" that listed all military/self defense force vessels known to each country.
Yes russia has a defensive military doctrine whereas the US has a offensive doctrine. therefore investment into different combat vehicles is the result ie russia tanks US air and naval power.

The majority if olympic coverage in the US mainly focuses on our athletes. Often though there will be coverage of events that focus on athletes from other countries...Usually if there is a "good story" concerning that athlete's path to "Olympic glory". We love hearing stories about how an athlete overcame long odds to achieve success. The English ski jumper (1988 winter olympics), Michael Edward's (Eddie The Eagle) is a great example of this😁
that 48 Billon dollars is not true, Russia up front admits to spending 65 Billion, however reports from within the government claim they spend close to 200 Billion. Russia has spent the last 20 year modernizing its Army from weapons like the T-72, BTR-60 SU-25 fighters. as of 2020 Russia has modernized 70.7% of its military. highest in the world. you may not believe it but that is true.
Haven’t watched one of your videos in a while how have you been?
Good thank you man are you ?
When it comes down to it, the USA is the only nation that needs to have a major Navy and Airforce to really project power, due to us being surround by ocean and or allies. Both Russia and China's primary concerns are the nations and resources directly around them, nearly all of which can be reached by land. Only recently have they been pushing to try and makes gains in those areas, thus why for example Russia only has one aircraft carrier. (didn't it catch on fire, was that a different one?)
As to the sheer numbers, it started when we were caught short in WW 2. It has become part of the DNA by now.
Always remember the skys cover the entire earth and the sea covers around 70%..
we need this. if u look at China and Russia's policies (Russia in particular) do you think for a second they'd hesitate to take us off the board?
how is that possible when you're located on an island? have you seen the navy difference(unless, you think someone will go nuclear)? stop scaring yourself.. for now, only America take's everyone off board with all the wars they started.
I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m sure that the comparison will not include the section "maneuvering hypersonic weapons" and "transcontinental nuclear torpedoes." Due to the fact that the United States does not have these weapons. And, it seems, it will not appear soon, 10 or 20 years.
I get having pride but that falls into the pointless weapon catagory because it means MAD. just be honest and accept the fact Russia has a scary military but in any conventonal war they stand no chance even without America's allies joining. Russia has a great core of military personnel but most of it is conscripted people who could care less. If the united states invaded Russia for some crazy stupid reason then I would be worried. A motivated Russian military would be a cluster fu..... That would make both of our afganistans look like a vacation in Fiji.

You asked what countries have stealth bombers and that tickled my interest. Looked it up and apparently only the USA and Israel have used stealth bombers in combat... but the Israel stat is about 2 F-35s so I think its safe to say the B-2 is the only Stealth Bomber in the world
And, while I do see it as excessive, I think its a necessary investment from the USA Military to be the size it is. The main thing is deterrence, not only of attacking us but also any other countries starting another world war. If we never use them, thats great because it means that the deterrence was strong enough and I would rather waste billions of dollars than millions of lives

The purpose of American military policing the world is a debate here in the US too.
The answer to if America's decision to police the world pays off...
We played isolationism until we were forced to join WWI and WWII. That costs us an unimaginable number of our young men. Since WW II, all of our military interventions, police actions, invasions, etc... All of the deaths of 75 years of policing the world hasn't cost us as much loss as one year if WWI or WWII. It's that simple. We lose 8,000 in an isolated 20 year war now rather than 8,000 in one battle of a world wide war.
Now, there's people who hate America for its large military, it's world presence, it's meddling in international affairs. But because America does that...many people in this world sleep safe at night, taking that security for granted. If America had returned to isolationism after WWII, would Europe be different today? Would Asia? Ask this, knowing Russia has a long history of expansion, knowing China's is currently trying to forcibly expand...would it be a different world with an isolated American policy
History is filled with nations trying to take over the world. If Germany, if Napoleon, if Mussolini, Stalin, Putin... If China or North Korea had the dominance that America has possessed for decades, do you think they would have shown the restraint America has
When everyone else has a hammer the US brings the sledgehammer.

@@JamesCornwall95 Hello from Russia!)
I would like to clarify a few points for you and the viewers of the channel:
1. The military budget of the countries:
* The US military budget is $ 750 billion.
$ 750 billion-it seems unrealistically large, if you do not go into details.
The distribution of the US military budget is as follows: 66% goes to salaries and training of the military (the army is contracted), as well as to support infrastructure. 750-66% = 255 billion. In total, there are only 255 billion left for the development of the army - for the purchase of new equipment and weapons.
* Russia's military budget for 2020 is $ 61 billion.
It would seem that a very small amount, but this is if you do not know that Russia specifically keeps the exchange rate of its own currency - the ruble, and it is already 3 times underestimated (the ruble is the most undervalued currency in the world - you can check it by reading the so-called "BigMac index")! Why is this being done?
Because Russia is the largest exporter of hydrocarbons.
Trade with other countries takes place with the help of the dollar, therefore, the higher the dollar exchange rate, the more rubles we can get for our goods.
How does this affect the practice? So, everything is very cheap in dollars.

Yep
The u.s military buys shovels for ten thousand dollars a unit..... That's where that big budget go to.
Total numbers usually don't mean much. It's more about quality. Take for instance in the Gulf War when small groups of modern American M-1 Abrams tanks fitted with GPS and night vision were knocking out dozens upon dozens of (Russian made) Iraqi tanks with complete ease. That's not to say quantity isn't important, but you need the quality first and foremost. For example people underrate just how advantageous those 70,000 armored cars are for moving troops around and keeping them protected and highly mechanized, and if you notice nobody, not Russia nor China come even close to having that many. America usually has both quantity and quality or at the very least the quality. Even if sheer numbers alone were important, tens of thousands of tanks and artillery pieces would be rather useless in a war against the United States, who you can't invade by land and who has stealth bombers capable of vaporizing entire armored formations with tactical nukes. The real indicators of military might in terms of weapons in today's warfare are things like aircraft carriers, nuclear subs, stealth bombers, next-gen fighters, nukes and of course the capability to successfully deploy those nukes. Then when you consider things like innovation, production potential and combat experience it's easy to see why America ranks over Russia and China.
Most of iraqi T-72s were not russian made but czechoslovakia made export versions of T-72.
Wow, the people the people who made the comparison video left out a HUGE amount of US weapons! They only compared USAF planes, and ignored the fact that the USN had MANY planes that fit in their categories, like tankers, AWACS, and EW. The US has many Amphibious warfare ships with flight decks that EASILY match the Russian "aircraft carrier", the Admiral Kuznetsov, which, unlike REAL aircraft carriers, lacks catapults and just has a silly ski ramp. Of course, other countries also have relatively modestly sized ships with flight decks and ski ramps that they try to call aircraft carriers as well. Oh, and most US carriers and almost all submarines are nuclear powered, while Russia mostly runs on Diesel.
We have a saying, it’s better to have it and not need it vs you need it and don’t have it.

To answer why we have such a large military: We have treaties with a lot of smaller nations that if attacked we will come to their defense. If something goes to crap, we can have a military force in the area ready for war within 24 hours anywhere on the globe. The day America falls or is incapacitated, is the day ww3 begins.

I dont know for certain bit I think you were spot on with your assessment as to why Russia has so many tanks and mechanized armor. If you think back to the cold war era, it was assumed there would be a major ground war in Eastern Europe. Tanks would be integral in that kind of land war. I suppose it was assumed that our NATO allies in Europe would provide tanks and other mechanized armor in order to meet the Russian threat.
Personally I think our (American) defense budget is way too high. I believe a fairly high amount of spending is not only to support our armed forces, but also to support and improve our allies' military capabilities. An invasion of the continental US is unlikely. Therefore we project military "might" around the world with several bases in allied countries. Maintaining and supplying those bases is extremely expensive too.
Just my opinion, mind you.

In total, there are only 255 billion left for the development of the army - for the purchase of new equipment and weapons.
* Russia's military budget for 2020 is $ 61 billion.
It would seem that a very small amount, but this is if you do not know that Russia specifically keeps the exchange rate of its own currency - the ruble, and it is already 3 times underestimated (the ruble is the most undervalued currency in the world - you can check it by reading the so-called "BigMac index")! Why is this being done?
Because Russia is the largest exporter of hydrocarbons.
Trade with other countries takes place with the help of the dollar, therefore, the higher the dollar exchange rate, the more rubles we can get for our goods.
How does this affect the practice? So, everything is very cheap in dollars.
For example, I pay only$ 2.37 per month per month for my cell phone.
At the same time, my monthly package includes: 1300 minutes of calls to cell and landline phones throughout Russia + unlimited Internet!
In the US, it will cost, I think, $ 100, or even all 300.
So, based on this, given the fact that Russia produces all weapons itself, for rubles, and the real value of the ruble is 3 times higher - the real military budget of Russia is not $ 61 billion, but about $ 200 billion (in terms of its purchasing power + the shadow budget).
In total, the United States has $ 255 billion and Russia has $ 200 billion.
And if everything is clear with military equipment, it costs us on average 3-4 times cheaper, then in the case of scientific developments, the difference is significantly greater.
Let's assume that the United States spends 100 billion of the remaining 255 billion on scientific research.
Since the average salaries of scientists in Russia are about $ 1,000 per month, and in the United States $ 5,000 - $ 10,000 per month, it turns out that the allocated amount of $ 100 billion in the United States will be comparable to $ 10-20 billion allocated to scientists in Russia.
That's the whole secret of how we manage to have the second most powerful army in the world with such a budget.

2. "Russian equipment is mostly outdated" - you will probably be very surprised, but Russia has invested about $ 300 billion in the rearmament program (as you already understand, this is about $ 1 trillion in its purchasing power).
"Today, everyone understands and states, some with anger, some with approval, that the Russian army has almost 71 % of modern weapons and equipment. This is the highest percentage among all the armies in the world (that is, higher than in the United States and China). " - said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
Moreover, this rearmament program has been extended indefinitely. And now about $ 300 billion is allocated for it every 10 years.

Since they completely do not take into account the quality and technical characteristics of the combat systems in service with the countries, as well as the specifics of their application.
For example, it is known that the United States has the largest and most powerful aviation and fleet.
Russia took an asymmetric path and, instead of trying to create a fleet and aircraft of similar power , created the best missile defense and air defense systems in the world, as well as electronic warfare systems that completely offset the advantages of the United States in the air.
And most importantly, Russia is the first country in the world to create and adopt a revolutionary weapon-hypersonic missiles. From which no one on earth has any protection. With their help, we can easily sink US aircraft carriers, destroy missile defense systems, production centers, warehouses, airfields and enemy command posts.
Neither the United States, nor China, nor anyone else has working hypersonic missiles in service. The US will have them no earlier than ~2025-2030.

Do not show your illiteracy, do not be ashamed.
Russia is the sixth economy in the world. Type GDP by PPP into Wikipedia.
Your television has completely brainwashed you, you think like a zombie.
Check out my posts above about your military budget!
66% of your military budget goes to salaries and infrastructure support! Of the 750 billion, only $ 250 billion remains - this is the real US military budget.
Russia has all the things that you have listed. Both biological and chemical weapons. And as for AI, it is ALREADY used in the Russian army.
"The Ministry of Defense Russian Federation is creating the first unit equipped with shock robotic complexes."
These robots are already able to work completely autonomously, but they are not yet given this opportunity. The decision is made by the operator whether to attack the target or not, and the AI does everything else.
Will the US become stronger and stronger? Are you serious?
Russia is already blocking all US attempts to invade other countries.
The US tried to invade Syria, but nothing came of it, as Russia sent its troops there and began to eliminate US-backed terrorists.
China cannot overtake Russia in many areas, such as the nuclear industry and technology, hypersonic weapons (they do not have the appropriate materials and technologies like the United States), missile defense systems, electronic warfare systems (we are also significantly ahead of the United States in this area) and much more.
India cannot overtake Russia, since it does not produce weapons itself.
In addition, both China and India are friends of Russia.
The United States is currently actively losing its status as a world hegemon precisely because of the strengthening of Russia and China. Russia and China recently held joint military exercises, by the way.

Russia can definitely show up in Europe if they need to, but anything more than that, they're unable. Back in the soviet days they were an actual threat with their military power alone, but they have increasingly become irrelevant on the world stage as nations shift their focus towards China. The US sanctions crippled Russia after their invasion and annexation of Crimea, they want their old soviet borders back, which includes Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic countries and the "Stan" countries in Central Asia not including Pakistan and Afghanistan. Russia has shown time and time again that it is not ready for large scale conflict, their military has degraded so much after the collapse of the soviet union to the point their aircraft carrier has to have a repair vessel accompany it at all times (the carrier actually broke down not to long ago) the only threat they pose is their nuclear arsenal. The United States is extremely necessary right now, if they stopped existing today, all the nation's that have ambitious tendencys will immediately attack their enemies to try and fill the vacuum the US left behind. It would be all out war.
the russian stuff aint old bro i can assure you that
it is not necessary if you dont mind living in a totalitarian dictatorship
Definitely not made by an English speaker. Rocket projectors? Aircrafts(sic)?
Some of the images are incorrect. During war the Coast Guard is part of the USN. It has 1400 "patrol vessels".
Did anyone mention that while Russia has 2 million who can be recalled, and have AKs but no ammo, American citizens own approximately 500 million firearms and lockers full of ammo.
U.S.A.F.: How many tanks does Russia have, lol.
If the US doesn’t do it. someone else will. The tech that come out of military R&D is also worth it, (GPS, Microwaves, the Internet, etc)
It's unfortunate, but absolutely necessary. Being successful attracts challange. When the US acts weak, nasty places act badly, see Syria and Russia, N. Korea, Iran generally, China generally.
The redistribution of forces clearly shows that Russia is not an aggressor country, its structure consists of defensive systems, while the United States, on the contrary, is the aggressor, its attacking systems, including a large number of aircraft, missiles and aircraft carriers
Of course the reason American systems are so aggressive, is because so many countries expect America to be the world Police. Of course the stupid shitn about that is that then saw the same country is give America s*** for having such a big military and enterinh into other world events
incorrect. USA had more gold metals than China also.
Freedom isn't free
The last thing I would call Putin is competent. I hope he gets what he deserves.
It’s very nessasary
Well Russia was destroyed to the ground in ww2 and lost a huge piece of their population in ww2
and was already late for the industrialization by couple 100 years so that would set them back to the arms race a lot, and all that also applies to China.
I believed Russians population is almost the same as the NATO combined or over ,, I'm not really sure but I think it's close,, without combined NATO...
If we take all the NATO countries, we will get about 946,000,000 people, including military (5,162,000)
If we take the BRICS countries, we will get about 3,308,430,000 of them military (272,000,000)
America... FUCK YEA.🇺🇲🇺🇲
Парень ты не прав, с момента когда была придумана ракета как средство доставки до цели авиация уже не имеет приоритета. Первое, самое технологичное пока это ракеты и Россия имеет преимущество в этом над всеми. Где есть ракетные войска авиация летать долго не сможет.
Второе Россия это сухопутная страна, а потому для боя на земле имеет много танков. Их вполне хватит чтобы контролировать землю. Третье, чтобы лишить морские державы их преимуществ во флоте у России есть огромное преимущество в минных заградителях, засеяв минами моря можно блокировать ВМФ любых стран надолго, потому что чистить от мин проходы это проблема. Кроме того, армия США это армия времен холодной войны, в тоже время Россия имеет армию вооруженную лазерами и гиперзывовыми ракетами, это армия современее американской.
aircraft carriers are nice juicy static targets to a missile power. russia has worlds most powerful missile arsenal (supersonic and hypersonic), they will decimate aircraft carriers, which are useful against defenseless countries with no real army and with nothing to throw back. Also nato advantage in number of aircrafts is no use against russia which has worlds largest air defense systems (s300,s400,s500,s550, tor,pantser,buks,strela etc etc) with tens of thousands of missiles, that will intercept aircraft that fly in uninvited. So nato has no advantage over russia. And ofcourse russia has worlds largest and most powerful nuclear arsenal along with worlds most powerful ICBMs, which means no country will dare to launch nukes first since they will guarantee get wiped out. So we will never see a nato vs russia war. Just proxy wars. Stealth doesnt make u invisible,just small radar cross section ,again no use to russia with its long range radar coverage of all kinds, and long range air defense systems that will shoot down anything that flies. russia has good balance of offense and defense.
How stretched thin is Russia's military?
Norseman...the main reason why Russia would be ranked higher in military capabilities than China, despite perhaps having a lower defense budget, would likely be the much higher number of nuclear weapons in Russia's stockpile. Of course, China is not bound from having more nukes by any arms control treaty that I know of, and we only have the word of the Chinese Communist Party that China possesses only the modest number of nukes they claim to possess. Estimates of China's real stockpile range from as few as 80 (🤣🤣🤣) up to 2000 or more.
Your laugh when the numbers for USAF vs Russian Air Force total aircraft came up was...priceless. 💯😂
In regard to the Olympics...I gave up on caring about those back in 2004...what the IOC did to Greece, and what Greece did to itself for those games really soured me on the whole thing for good...and it really has only gotten worse. I think Los Angeles was insane to even make a bid for the games, and I predict that the malfeasance of all involved that goes along with LA hosting in 2028 will shock the world.🖖✌😢
You’re actually quiet compared to the video you’re reacting to
Russia has one aircraft carrier, and it is out of date and has been badly damaged before in accidents.
Even USA but its lil far but jst imagine all together,, USA together the rest of NATO...? That's gona be way way far.
Ha. This is relevant now obviously. Hopefully someone in covert ops becomes a hero on an assassination team.
Ask the people in Asia around China
we are not idiots, we do not hope to defeat 30 countries with an attacking strategy. Russia does not need aircraft carriers, the fleet must be located near the coast, thus anti-aircraft installations will help the fleet, and also airbases will be located nearby. my idea is also supported by the fact that Russia has many ships carrying mines, which underlines its defensive nature.
By the way, at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union there were 64,000 tanks, I would have paid just to see how this tank avalanche would move, I would have watched from the air, of course.

the US Airforce is not as powerful as you think it is. they claim to have 13,300 aircraft but what they fail to tell you is that 8,500 thousand of their aircraft are trainers or sitting in fields used for parts. While if you look at Russia, they have around 250 for trainer. also the majority of Russian attack aircraft are from the mid 1980s, while the US attack aircraft are from the early 1970s.
2/3 of Russia is Taiga and nothern permafrost lands, so no wonder these lands are not very populated. Even when smb speaks about "chinees threat" for these wast lands, it sounds funny) Chenees ppl are warm loving ans they prefer to move to USA in huge numbers)
In answer to your main question, as to whether the US spends too much on our military, the answer is yes...we almost certainly do spend too much...but not in the way most people think. For one thing, the US needs to go through a serious and vigorous round of Base Realignment And Closure...the process we use to decide what bases can be closed and which are truly necessary. There has not been an BRAC since 2005, and the previous rounds of BRAC were all fatally riddled with politics and did not really close enough bases. Trump had started the process of getting a new round of base closures in his last Defense Budget Request, but all Trump actions were cancelled as soon as Biden came into office, and Dems have thus far done nothing to indicate they intend to initiate and BRAC. Between the bases kept open for political reasons and all the millions of other ways the Pentagon wastes money for politics, the US could probably save at least $100 billion per year and suffer absolutely no loss in capabilities.
Hello from Russia!)
I would like to clarify a few points for you and the viewers of the channel:
1. The military budget of the countries:
* The US military budget is $ 750 billion.
$ 750 billion-it seems unrealistically large, if you do not go into details.
The distribution of the US military budget is as follows: 66% goes to salaries and training of the military (the army is contracted), as well as to support infrastructure. 750-66% = 255 billion.

Russia has has the technology to be a credible threat, though still short of the US in many fields, but has nowhere near the quantity or personnel for any sustained conflict. China has the numbers, in men and material, but greatly lags behind the US and Russia in technology, with most of the advanced tech they pretend to have being PURELY FICTIONAL. Furtheremore, China lacks the capability to transport any substantial forces far from their borders. BTW, I must apologize. I may have been overly critical of the apparent failure of the Brit education system. You guys are at least trying to learn things you weren't taught. Also, the Russian president is FAR more competent than the current American one, and possibly LESS corrupt.
with a global conflict, Russia will not need any personnel, it will all end in a global catastrophe in a matter of hours. Therefore, it makes no sense to compare conventional weapons.
Are you asking why Russia is so big? Precisely because she was constantly underestimated by those who attacked her. Russia was underestimated by the Kazan and Astrakhan Khanates - now Kazan and Astrakhan are part of Russia, the Ottoman Empire - now Crimea and Kuban are part of Russia, the Persian Empire - now the North Caucasus is part of Russia, the Kingdom of Poland - became part of Russia, the Principality of Lithuania - became part of Russia, the Swedish Empire - Russia received Finland, the French Empire - the Russians marched through Paris, the Third Reich - the Russians marched through Berlin, the Japanese Empire - the Kuriles became part of Russia. And even in this video it is clear that you underestimate Russia, history teaches nothing to some, unfortunately.
I don't think this is accurate
Дело не в количестве бюджета ,а у качестве его использования)
Абрамс, ну ни как не назовёшь современным танком (поступил в войска в 1980 г. ), Т-90 ( поступил в войска 2001 г.) Как видим Абрамс на 20 лет старше чем Т-90, это вам к сведению что западная военная техника более современная ( не надо ориентироваться на военный бюджет, в штатах он разворовывается по чёрному =))) Оба эти танка прошли глубокую модернизацию, так что это вполне современные танки. А по поводу всех этих сравнений, цифры на поле боя чаще всего просто цифры, главное боевой дух и правильное командование. Опыт второй мировой войны показал, что советская армия очень боеспособна, что не скажешь о союзниках ( американцах и англичанах ) Жаль, что запад после войны решил начать холодную войну против советов, которая продолжается и по сей день. Кстати большая разница в количестве того или иного вооружения обусловлено разными военными доктринами. США морская держава, омывается 3-мя океанами, поэтому военно морской флот и авиа несущие корабли играют важную роль. К тому же американцы, нация оккупант, главная стратегия которых подойти на авианосцах к побережью и разбомбить всю инфраструктуру противника, далее пустить на зачистку десант. У России другие задачи, наша цель контроль и охрана своих рубежей. Поэтому у нас количественный перевес в тяжёлой бронетехнике , артиллерии и ракетном вооружении.

I always thought if they started using their spending on better things like education, Healthcare, etc. It would make America a beacon like it used to be.
Yeah but without the military spending we wouldn't be able to do that stuff if we aren't safe.
I can’t say this enough. Our gdp is way higher than 750 billion. Putting that 750 billion toward health care and educations and stuff really would do next to nothing

Nope, US would still win in land based fights. While Russia has more artillery and rocket launchers, most is very outdated. American artillery, in general, is longer ranged and much more accurate. As for combat vehicles, once again, American vehicles have better technology, especially in sensors, and better equipped and trained troops. While Russia CAN produce some similar equipment, they could not afford to actually upgrade, or sometimes, not even properly maintain their combat vehicles! Also, the US is FAR better at logistics, keeping forces supplied with food, fuel ammo, spare parts, et cetera.
I am pretty sure Hitler thought the same thing
@@ballinlikestalin, nope. Hitler was insane and would not listen to his generals at that point. In particular, try to use some common sense and look at my point on logistics. Hitler was amazingly inept and his men were very poorly supplied.
Russia has most updated nukes than any others, oldest one is 2009. If you attack Russian mainland You will die as a nation. Russia will end at the world end.
@@sheshatheblackqueen, only a truly stupid person would consider using nukes. It is true that Russia (and the USSR) has invested heavily in tactical nuclear weapons, which was a mistake, though justified if someone was paranoid enought to believe the U.S. was actually planning a full invasion of Russia. While it gave some slight political advantage (I suspect Russian "advisors" had smuggled some bombs into Serbia for defensive use in case of land invasion), the weapons generally could not be used. The USA had invested in highly ACCURATE MIRV weapons, especially SLBMs to efficiently destroy military, industrial, and government centers. I also would like to remind people that Russia had announced they had "lost track" of a large number (over a hundred) of Soviet warheads, apparently to try to establish plausiblr deniability.
All the US weapons can be defensed by Russia. But USA can't handle avangard. Only Russia has the most powerful weapon on the earth..both 1 and 2. Russia will expand further. Russia already started it. USA only can sanction 😂
Most of Russia’s nukes are outdated because of the whole arms race thing during the cold war
