to Do it the Russians Downsized there armed forces. Then they started restructuring. Basically the same Road map the PLA has been on. but they also set to rebuilding as many existing systems as possible. Hence the newest Tanks are still T90 mods and they are still using old hulls for there APC's and Armored Vehicles. they also seem to have adopted off the shelf system from near Nato states like Finland and Bulgaria. Well devising there own versions of systems that replicate features found in western gear ( the Rail systems and optics, Teliscopic stocks and Foregrips) They seem to target a evolutionary rather then revolutionary process.

That's the right way to do it. First start with enough good people, then modernize the equipment following the example of others. Always keep in mind your own circumstances. Then improve the equipment after your own ideas and increase ( or decrease ) the size of your armed forces as and when necessary.

That's how the Germans rebuilt there army in the 1940's the they used the existing Treaty Army and got them to expand training them and rating them two ranks ahead of there European equivalents then when the time was right they used those troops to form the bulk of the new NCO corps. I do have to make a correction though about the article, The Ratnik system is not yet fully feilded and the Russian Army is still in transition.
The radios were one part of a broad element of Mr. Putin’s military overhaul: the replacement of equipment carried by individual soldiers. Known as the “Ratnik” program — from the Russian word for “warrior” — the upgrade includes new helmets, flak jackets with bulletproof plates, ballistic goggles, kneepads, uniforms and communications and navigation equipment, as well as thermal and night-vision sights for firearms.

Out on the roads, Russian forces could also be seen deploying electronic-warfare platforms, including the new Tigr-M and the R-330Zh jamming station, which can block GPS and satellite telephone signals.

I heard a report that the Ukrainian military coms systems were knocked out. this makes sense and is one of the key issues the Western and Chinese military is going to have to find work abounds for. Jamming GPS system is fairly easy. but jamming one jams them all. So if you knock out American GPS you also do the same For Chinese and Russian systems.

Another point of Interest I found in the Ukraine was Russian and Pro Russian militia looked like a ad for Ski masks. I am not sure if there love of Balaclava was general order or command form Putin Ukrainian Troops were willing to show there faces All the Russian troops were masked.

I think the next steps for the next 20 years are now being planned out for the Russian Army.
First they will continue to spiral two of Ratnik.

A thought with all this ratnik kit and the upgraded infantry and small arms a thought Russia and the US have equivalents now for there entire infantry small arms loads except for three systems.
the Russian shooting scouting knife, a rather impractical weapon really.
the Russian underwater assault rifle series has no American equivalents, And more practical i would argue US M25 smart grenade launcher.
Now for the US there may emerge a underwater assault rifle as a company from Europe makes hypercavitating rounds and if partner with the right weapons system like FN Scar H then it would produce a fairly good amphibious assault rifle option. But the lack of a counter barrier launcher is a bit more difficult. One option might be to import, best option being the South African Neo pup. As the Chinese system is single shot and chambered for the unique 5.8mm and the south Korean is chambered for NATO rounds.

Hi guys,

I've got a question in regarding to the new joint Russian-French ATOM IFV. I finally read some articles about it and it mentions about the 57mm Gun that it incorporates. I kind of understand going with a bigger gun since most IFV have add on armor or existing armor that protects them from 30mm. The question that I have is, why a 57mm gun. Other countries such as South Korea and Sweeden are using a 40mm gun. Is this because of Russia experience with 57mm round (the SPAA that they have) or is it because of the 57mm naval gun experience that other countries have.

That assumes they are the exact same round, Two cannons can be the same caliber but not the same round.

That I understand, since there could be difference in length (probably power), weight and purpose. But the question is why 57mm. Was there any information in regarding to the gun?

Hard to say, First we would have to reason who produced the Gun the French or the Russians. I mean The Russians Bumerang is quoted for a 30mm cannon, So Was it the French? Or is that a misquote and the Russians are leading the charge. In terms of Why is rather clear, Anti Armor.
