Before 1991, the former Soviet army was one of the most effective armies in the world, in the Second World War, in the case of most of Europe occupied by fascist Germany, successfully resisted the German surprise attack, after experiencing the setbacks in the early stage of the war, gradually turned the tide of war in Europe and even the whole world, and finally defeated the arrogant German army and won the admiration of all countries in the world.
After several decades of unremitting efforts after the war, the soviet union's military strength gradually expanded, once catching up with and surpassing the world's first U.S. army, the world's only military force that can compete with the U.S. military on a global scale, and becoming the main capital of the Soviet Union and the United States to dominate the world. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the style of the former Soviet Army in that year has been greatly weakened in terms of scale and combat strength.
Nevertheless, the Russian military is still one of the most powerful and modern in the world, and its strategic nuclear force consisting of 45 strategic nuclear submarines, more than 1,200 intercontinental nuclear ballistic missiles and more than 160 strategic bombers is enough to effectively deter any major country in the world, even the United States, the world's number one military power.
It was also equipped with a large number of tactical nuclear weapons, which could destroy all of Western Europe in an instant. As a result, Today's Russia is still one of the world's leading military powers.
