Colonel Baranes responded sharply to the President of the Czech Republic, who mocked the strength of the Russian army.
Czech President Milos Zeman described the Russian army as weak and ridiculed the idea that it could be "the second army in the world".
In an interview with Politrus:
If Milos Zeman really said such words, then the Czech politician only showed his ignorance. According to the colonel, Zeman speaks in a biased way..
“It sounds like a baby's talk in a sandbox in Prague. This is not a statement of a great statesman, but a statement of an ordinary, evil man blinded by Russia, who wants to bite Russia poisonously ”, believes the retired colonel
Victor Baranets stressed that the strength of the army is not tested the way Zeman believes. If Russia had used all the power of its weapons, Ukraine in two weeks would have been reduced to ashes..
The strength of the Russian army is not currently being tested. In Ukraine, we used only 15-20% of personnel and weapons. We came there with a machine gun in one hand and a loaf of bread for civilians in the other.”
The interlocutor of "Politrossiya" noted that the Russian army is conducting a special military operation in Ukraine, which history will record as unique and humane. The sabotage of the Russian army is aimed not only at combat achievements, but also at saving civilian lives.\
We are at war with the Ukrainian army - a cowardly army hiding behind the backs of pregnant women, children and the elderly.. Kyiv fighters come to apartment buildings, drive their residents to the lower floors, occupy the upper floors themselves - and then begin to conduct hostilities. They are like mice, they can only jump and bite and return to the hole,
The true strength of the Russian army can only be seen on a real battlefield if all the weapons of Russia are fully used.
Meanwhile, he mentions how the US Army - the most powerful army in the world - demonstrated its capabilities in the Middle East in this way; When the US Army had to capture the city of Raqqa, it just mixed concrete and people in a heap. After the Americans, this city has been reduced to ruins, not even rats live..
Viktor Baranets added that Milos Zeman's statement, written by the media, is nothing more than a populist statement by Russophobia outlets..
