As I have promissed I began a new thread about the Armed Forces around the world, where I would write a number of posts on the state of Russian Armed Forces.

Note to the moderators - I forsee the possibility of this thread going OT (specifically - political) so it may be wise to keep it in general topics rather than specialised topics.

Note to the forum members - this thread is intended by me for discussing various armed forces around the world, so if you want to talk about armed forces other than those of Russia you are most welcome.
