The Russian invasion of Ukraine has made a fool of the Soviet military industry. Since 2008, Vladimir Putin has launched a military renewal program with the idea of bringing the Russian military into the 21st century. After years of ineffective Soviet management, Putin had inherited a completely obsolete military arsenal. However, it seemed that the Kremlin was willing to put all its resources into strengthening its military muscle.
During the last few years, Russia has been showing off its new weapons to the whole world: the new Sukhoi Su-34, armata tanks and KALIBR precision missiles. All military analysts thought that the Russian army was a well-armed force, capable of taking on almost any other army (with the exception of the US army).
However, the invasion of Ukraine has revealed that Russia has a serious problem with its military industry. Most of the weapons being used fall far short of the expectations we all had: including the Russians. The question is: How is it possible that Putin's efforts have not helped to modernize its military arsenal? What exactly is wrong with the Russian military industrial complex? In this video we explain.
