Ukraine blasts more than 300 Iranian kamikaze drones out of the sky in blow for Putin

Same story with body armour.

Some Russian troops have been issued with Airsoft toy body armor. It blocks bullets about as well as a cotton shirt would. Apparently, what little real body armor they had was sold online.

We are learning that the Russian military is a bad joke. I never would have guessed it was this bad.

But you lived in Russia, Walter, and did not know this.

How non-observant you were.

I was not in the Russian Army, so how would I know they had tin helmets?

I definitely knew that Russia was corrupt, but tin helmets are another level of corruption. The Russian Army is so much worse than I thought... Then any of us thought. It makes me wonder if the Soviet Army was just a paper tiger too.

I am second guessing all that I knew about the Russian military. My new theory, they had some great designs, but I am beginning to doubt any of their claims of actually producing them in any numbers.
