He says in defence of the country which formerly proclaimed to have the second best army in the world, but also

  • struggles to complete its three day adventure in Ukraine for more than two years now,
  • has to hide its navy,
  • lost most of its active aviation, tanks and APCs, and
  • (my personal favourite) has to resort sending troops into battle in Chinese golf carts as transport options seem to run.

But the West is a laughing stock.

Dang. Can I get some of the shit you are on?

has to hide its navy

Technically the drones are a naval force. Just a very cheap and surprisingly effective one.

Russia's naval force has been a bit of paper tiger for a while now. Some of their warships practically run on coal.
