'By the way fifth-generation T-50 fighter plane is being developed by Russia and India.'
T-50 will be a 5th generation plane but it will be no where near the F-22 in capabilities. Russian warplane technologies are good 10 years behind to that of the US. Russian war fighting techniques or doctrines are outright impractical. In Georgia, where their elite forces fought, they still lost 60+ soldier lives in mere two to three days and that too against a C grade army.
Wikileaks is right, Russia is a corrupt state run by a mafia of strongmen who do not like to think more than 2 years down the road.

Germany lost in Russia because the German military was over-extended on too many fronts not because Russia had superior firepower. In fact German military was against invading Russia it was done only to stroke Hitler's ego. It was more of a tactical blunder going into Russia in the height of the harsh winter with poor supply lines and equipment not suited for the geography. The time Russia entered USA & Allies were coming in also from Western Europe. Otherwise the Commies would have had no chance against the Nazi military at its peak without distractions from other fronts.
What you're referring to were the end stages of the war that occurred during the winter of '44.
The reality is that Germany first invaded the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941 during Operation Barbarossa. From that point on until hostilities ended with Russia's offensive during the Battle of Berlin in May, 1945 the Eastern Front theatre became the largest and bloodiest conflict in history with over 30MM killed.
there is more brutal examples of war in extreme cold in Russia-
