they are not
If Iraq/Afganistan got the same type of military/monetary/intelligence assistance from third party Ukraine gets from US/NATO it would be absolute disaster for US army.
US army failed in Afganistan against guys in flip flops without any assistance
If you rate Russia military second rated I would rate US ten rated based on their performance in Afganistan which gives Russia good chance in Ukraine actually
And if your aunt had balls she would be your uncle.
Russia may not be 2nd rate in an imaginary world of yours but in the real one it is.
FFS, there is so much corruption that the armour on Russia's modern APVs is well below the official specification.
I'm reminded of the story Kruschiev used to tell about how he learned the tyre factories were putting far below the necessary amount of wire into the tyres to meet quotas. This meant that when an official like him was travelling any distance there was one car for him and another to carry spare tyres.
Its fucking embarrassing how easy it is to breach what should, on paper, be a tough vehicle. The kleptocracy has fucked your military. That's the reality boy.
Get angry at your leader, stop taking revenge on ordinary Ukranians because the fantasy Putin gave you is bullshit.
