Russia's Su-35 and Su-30 combined alone are more than the Su-30 the Indians have numerically.


----
Way too much "defeatist" talk which is precisely the reason why Russia is in deep trouble as it is, facing brutal Imperial Alliance, with only Belarus as it's "shield".

I can't bother to reply to all of what you said, but calling Soviet allies and USSR itself as "bankrupt" is strange - using that as a excuse to bend over and being destroyed.

Do remind us of the countries that didn't bend over between 1989 - 1991 (China, Cuba, North Korea, Lao People's Republic, Vietnam). How was their economic situation between 1989 - 1991? Since according to you, the so-called "bankrupt USSR" had to bend over for a massive Zombie Demo-Crazy entry which has given Russia massive problems over the past 34 years.

2) There is a bigger chance that NATO will take St.Petersburg via Finland, or Murmansk via Norway and Finland) than Russia being able to take Tallinn, Vilnius and Riga in case NATO goes for a small Kaliningrad snack. Russia is still not able to take Sumy after (soon) 42 months, which is right there across the border.

It doesn't matter if Transnistria isn't part of Russia (Again, defeatist talk). What matters is that by saying that, you're allowing NATO to precisely prepare for a snack, and on the meny they'll have not only Transnistria, but also South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Regarding S-400 and Turkey. They already have their own drones (which successfully whooped pro-Russian forces in Syria, Libya and Nagorno-K), and they have the project KAAN. Turkey could at any moment get rid of S-400 and be included back in the F-35 program, so I cannot see what Russia gained from this. There was a suggestion that Turkey could give these to the extremist Hindutva regime.

Either way, you fail to acknowledge that Russia screwed up with trusting a NATO member France regarding Mistrals and selling S-400 to another NATO member, Turkey.

3) Libya did order a nice package of weapons from Russia in January 2010. Libya was supposed to get at least 20 fighters (Su-30, I believe), several S-300PMU2 and MBTs such as T-72 and T-90.

Libya was, as we know, decimated 14 months later (March 2011), and Russia didn't deliver anything (AFAIK) as NATO decided to decimate the whole country into pieces and it took only a few months to do so.

Regarding Gorba and Yeltsin, the fact is: Russians failed to defend the structure of the USSR that 27 million Soviet citizens gave their life for during WW2.

In my previous reply, I forgot to mention the idiot who basically attempted to coup Putin just 2 years ago - you know, the Wagner Egg Head, and the fact that he even dared to do this just 2 years ago, tells me more than enough that Russia and Putin do NOT have sufficient control of whatever the fvck is going on. The Wagner Egg Head even dared to fire upon other Russian forces INSIDE Russia along with his pro-Wagner troops - and he killed several Russian personnel along with destroying Russian equipment, before he was stopped in his tracks.

Therefore, Russia and Putin "planning something" up until 2050 (For example Navy strategy) is simply a joke, as one cannot trust what will happen in Russia, especially when Putin dies.

This hybrid of drone missile from Su-57.

In the summer of 2025, blogs and Telegram channels reported the successful combat use of new air-based unmanned systems – the S-71K and S-71M low-visibility guided munitions – from the Su-57 multi-role fighter . Foreign sources claim that the new system “ is a hybrid of a missile and a drone ,” is difficult to detect and track by air defense systems, and is highly maneuverable . What is known about the S-71?
An analysis of publicly available information from open Internet sources yields the following data. The S-71 is a development of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, first appeared in 2019. Then, after the start of a special military operation and the beginning of combat use of the Su-57 as a carrier of new types of weapons, the unmanned complex was significantly modified to reduce radar visibility and increase range. The design was also simplified to reduce the cost of serial production.
Structurally, the S-71 has a trapezoid fuselage, providing low visibility, with a folding swept wing and inverted V-shaped all-moving stabilizers, the air intake is located at the rear. In terms of engine, it is unified with serial Russian missiles Kh-101 and Kh-59M - a turbofan TRDD-50 is used. The maximum flight speed is, according to various unconfirmed data, from 730 to 950 km / h, the operating altitude is up to 8 km.

In April 2024, two modifications of the complex were tested for the first time: the S-71K ("Carpet") with the functionality of an air-to-ground guided missile with a cluster warhead and the S-71M ("Monochrome") - "a more advanced and autonomous UAV" with the ability to use a high-explosive fragmentation cumulative charge (there are several versions of the warhead - weighing up to 150 kg). The first information about the start of production of the S-71 complex appeared in August 2024.
The S-71M
modification is designed for all-weather and round-the-clock use, the device has an electro-optical system and a thermal imager on board. After launching from the Su-75 and flying to the area of use, the "Monochrome" can patrol in it, independently selecting a target from those stored in memory, if necessary, the operator guides the target in real time.

The dimensions of the S-71M allow four such munitions to be placed in the internal compartment of the fifth-generation Su-57 combat aircraft, as well as on the S-70 Okhotnik heavy attack jet UAV (the quantity for the Okhotnik was not named).
The S-71K
modification is mounted and used from the external hardpoints of the Su-57's onboard weapons. Its official name is "guided low-observable long-range weapon module." No other details are provided. The S-71K illustration is taken from a book dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Sukhoi Design Bureau (2024) .

An expert explains why Kyiv is powerless against the​

Russian "Giran-3" aircraft.​

Acording to military expert and historian of the Air Defense Forces, Yuri Knutov: "It is almost impossible to distinguish the Giran-3 from its predecessor, the Giran-2, in appearance, but the difference between them is fundamental. It is equipped with a turbojet engine, which reduces noise and allows it to fly at a much higher speed—600-800 km/h—with acceleration when diving towards the target. Therefore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' anti-aircraft artillery does not have enough time to destroy this drone."

"Moreover, the new drone weighs more than its predecessor, and its warhead weight is expected to increase to around 300 kg. Therefore, it can destroy well-protected enemy positions and possibly penetrate some underground shelters."

"In addition, the Giran-3 uses a guidance system equipped with an infrared therma
Russia appears to have employed the "wolf pack" tactic during its recent assault on Kyiv and its attacks on the front lines. In this scheme, one drone flies overhead, coordinating the attack, while others approach the target from below from different directions. If the top-mounted Geran-3 is destroyed, another immediately rises to replace it.

"I don't see how Ukrainian forces will be able to repel our attacks with new drones with improved tactics. The mass attacks carried out by the Giran-3 can be considered a real Russian breakthrough in the special military operation."

I posted info about Russia naval strategy 2050 in this thread and what i didnot post further discussion about it from Arabic news sources like Skynews Arabia. This Naval strategy upto 2050 takes into account all the variables including the most important one like demographic and climate trends. Russia is creating permanent Hard Power that meet Royal Standards. meaning that if some point if Person like Qaddafi insult Saudi King or Iraq attack Kuwaits Royals. they are finished off at hypersonic speeds. Its a Space based strategy. Putin already gave Belarus voting rights inside Russia. at some point Russia will absorb Belarus. (Belarus has poor demographics so as the rest of Europe). This is not relevant.

Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighters have begun using new low-visibility missiles S-71K and S-71M. This was also reported by Ukrainian media. So far, there are only photos of the new ammunition. This is a hybrid of a drone and a S-71M Monochrome missile and low-visibility cruise missiles S-71K Carpet. The first mentions of the S-71 appeared in 2019. There is no information with characteristics on them, officially they are still undergoing tests, so far only assumptions are published. We publish patent images showing the operation of the S-71 drones. Judging by them, the drone launched from the aircraft will search for the line of combat contact and independently search for targets. The estimated range of the S-71 ammunition is up to 350 km, with a flight altitude of 5 to 75 meters. Flight speed from 730 to 950 km / h
