Russia is a weak country.

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

India and Pakistan too spend a lot on military toys, and they hardly can be called paradises.

India spend money to France buy Rafale. Russia don't buy from another country.

You are correct.

Both India and Pakistan are not producers but buyers.

They should spend money on improving the lives of their citizens first.

Nope. Still superior to Tiger 2. Tiger 2 88 mm gun no match for IS-2 122 mm gun. Plus IS-2 has better armor than Tiger 2. Better shape for deflecting incoming rounds.

Tiger 2 frontal armor at 180 vs 110... slopping increased its effective armor
It was heavier than the is2 70 tons fully loaded vs 50 tons
It had harder hitting gun... 200 mm of armor vs 110 at 1000m with AP (caliber isn’t the only metric that define a guns superiority, dispersion, velocity also comes into play)
Tiger 2 carried 86 main rounds vs 28
Tiger 2 had superior sights and gun-laying (incl a powered turret for faster traverse), resulting in maybe the most accurate tank of the war.
It also had a major advantage in ammunition: the most common IS-2 main gun (122mm A-19) required loading the warhead and powder charge separately, which slowed IS-2's effective fire rate to only 1 round per minute until very late in the war when a new main gun was introduced.

The IS-2 was tough and capable against most of the German vehicles it would encounter. But the Soviet priority was always to get tanks into the field, so it made trade offs everywhere. The A-19's anti-armor performance was far inferior to the gun they could have had (and eventually did): the D-25. It lacked any sort of crew comfort or even accommodation and was crudely produced. However, it had redeeming features in that it appeared in 1943, it was available in numbers, and its HE round was a terror, effective against almost any ground target, and probably many naval targets too!

So, no! I don’t agree with you, because then we both will be wrong.

Weak? No
Racist yes

those who feel Russia is a week country .. should try their luck !!

Just throw in the nukes and the scenario changes

built first space orbiter,

First space orbiter was US SPACE SHUTTLE not BURAN @undertakerwwefan

Nope it was Luna 10 in 1966. That's why I said USSR made first space orbiter

Russia is a sick country.

Far beyond repair.

you know what is you talking about @undertakerwwefan these are called space probe @undertakerwwefan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_probe

Space orbiters means that a winged reusable vehicle that orbits the earth and safely return to earth like these
Space shattle orbiter

BURAN orbiter

​

you chose a wrong word to define space probe, space orbiter can be any satellite that orbit the earth can be consider as space orbiter such as Sputnik-1 consider as space orbiter because its orbits earth orbit, please change tis name to space probe or if you want to correct please add extraterrestrial in between space orbiter as wikipedia article says thanks @undertakerwwefan

Your definition is not internationally accepted. Orbiters are orbiters. Whether manned or unmanned.

All interplanetary/moon are not called Space orbiter you fool @undertakerwwefan international term is space probe especially in West/US @undertakerwwefan

International term is space probe not you shit Space orbiter @undertakerwwefan

 

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

A probe that orbits is an orbiter. Actually, the first orbiter is Sputnik launched in 1957.

 

[Ultima Thule]

orbiter means that orbit around the Earth @undertakerwwefan Space probe means that orbit around another planet or moon which leaves earth orbit @undertakerwwefan

It's the same laws of physics. Gravity. Need a rocket to do orbital insertion.
