Why is the Russian military considered one of the best in the world?

Its reasonably big. But most of the troops are weak farm boys drawn in by the draft. The technology is 20 years behind the times. Does the russian military excel in some area? What weapons or technololgy surpass what americans use?Why is the Russian military considered one of the best in the world?Ah, I share your curiosity. But the Russian military is not better than the American one. The only reason why Russia is still listed on the top ten list is because of their Soviet-inherited nuclear weapon stockpile (larger than the US stockpile) and their ex-Soviet planes and tanks. Also, their army is larger than the army of the United States but solely because of the draft. The Russian military is plagued by corruption and high position abuse. I myself am of Russian descent so you can trust my words. The Russian army is considered to be poorly equipped and unreasonably trained. Their service lasts for only a year which minimizes the experience level by 5 years compared to the US service time. The Russians do excel in anti-aircraft systems but with the introduction of the newer stealth jet fighters, their strong point is being quickly diminished. If every country had the draft and nuclear weapons were ruled out, the Russians would be far behind on the list.Why is the Russian military considered one of the best in the world?Their training is much harsher that the american one some would call it inhuman so even if they don't have the most modern weapons, they equality it through pure human capability also their technology is not that behind they have spies everywhereein the USA usually before the president knows about the new weapon Russia is already producing it.Why is the Russian military considered one of the best in the world?Russia's army is willing to do what America's can't. They will kill anyone and burn a town to ash. America has too many ties with the UN that we cannot effectively fight a war.Why is the Russian military considered one of the best in the world?
They pretty much just use upgraded ak-47/74s as their standard assault rifle they don't have much to surpass the U.S. Our technology is ahead of them in every way as far as we know.
