Russia holds biggest war games since cold war

[AUSTERLITZ]

One thing russia needs to do is increase flight hours of pilots.They have increased this from dismal 25 hrs during soviet breakup era to still low 125 now.But to compete with best airforces they need at least 180 per yr,preferably 200 plus.
They are getting excellent quality machines and should now concentrate on improving the man behind it as well.

What is the F-15 doing there? I believe this picture was F-15s intercepting Russian bears...

Yearlier this year there were same war games at the West borders. From now such trainings will be regular, as it was before 1991.
Russia-China wars and conflicts is a sweat dream of USA. But it never gona happened.

These war games are for war preparedness just in case, not that Russia China will go to war. Check out the latest Russian Army recruitments and accusations, there is a sudden increase in them and a massive deployment is also planned in far east of Russia.

It is Putin's politics. Strong country can not be without strong army. So all military districts and combat arms will be modernized. It is not only about far east - but whole country. Besides, just a week or two weeks ago massive China-Russia naval exercises took place near Vladivostok.
China is friendly reliable back for Russia. Ans so Russia is friendly reliable back for China.

Major factor in these drills is training of quick massive redeployment to Sakhalin island , these sound like it is directed on Japan and not of China?

Some time drills are only drills , considering that that such maneuvers weren`t hold at least from 1991, that` s a big gap that is needed to be closed.

Miliatary games doesnt have to be against anybody. Its more like for russia to see if its able to operate in the far east that way as it never did before unlikein europe.

sorry about the F-15 mix up thought it was a Sukhoi being refueled as I saw several pics that looked similar but these are the Sukhois

I don't think the message is for China, it is for the USA.

Why China? Did China bombing nations to steal their oil and gas? Nope. It is NATO's method.

Possibly as a show of force against NATO and their allies, and I believe Russia and China also have a partnership in SHO or whatever it is called.

 

[LiberalAtheist]

If I had to take a wild guess at who this is really aimed at

1. Japan (Because of the Island disputes)

2. NATO (As a show of force)

3. China (To show its Red neighbor that it's military has not skipped along rather taken strides to modernize)

Somebody here forgot about the Sino-Soviet border conflict a couple of decades ago. What was it about again?

This belonged to the past, now it is all about USA.
