Russian Army is the most superior inside his own land. But not that much strong outside it. See Afganistan.

So, when we speak about armies, we speak about defending our land, not attacking others "except the US army".

Anyway, if we imagine a battle between a US division and a Russian division "taking the position of the field in consediration",

If it's in a Russian soil, or easter european soil. US army has no chance to win.

If it's in a western european or American soil, that might make a difference somehow. But I still think that the Russian soldiers are more solid and smarter than the american ones. Because Americans are trained mainly for hi-tech battles. which is actually an illusion. Real battles WILL happen. & the use of simple weapons will be the only solution. At that stage, Russians have the superiority, "in my own opinion".

(US figures I believe does not include extra money for iraq nor afghanistan)

Lastest figures I can find. But this year the US military budget is about 50% of the WORLD military budget, it has been like that for a few years. Some have called the US a Hyper Power (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpower) instead of super power (both military and economic). If you want to fight a conventional war against the US, the US will bankrupt your country.

"Where did you hear that most of the tanks are garbage? US army even dont have enough M1A2 for their own army. They are using the M1A1, that even a T-72 can beat."

What crack are you smoking. Look at the 1991/2003 gulf war. I believe in 1991 war the US didn't have a single tank destroy due to an iraq tank (althought the US destroys thousands of iraq tank), athough some were hit (about 300 US dealth during 1991, 50-100,000 iraq dead?). The only tank that destory a M1 in 1991 was another M1 due to friendly friend. I don't even think the T-72 tank shell can even penetrate the M1 armor. Iraq was the 4th largest army in the world in 1991. It had mostly russia weapons (tanks/planes/etc), I saw TV documentary before the war with Russia Generals commenting about how Iraq would do against the America, the Russia provide help for many of the iraq force using Russia strategy and tactic (rumor they did the defence for iraq in 2003 war - didn't help ha.). The Russia Generals said the US would win but it would bloody battle for the US. But in the end of 1991 gulf war it was a total one sided war for the US, probably the most one sided war in history surely the most one sided in modern history.

From a Canadian. Most people in the world don't think Russia as a super power or military power anymore (with exception of the Nuclear Weapon). Mainly because Russia is basically bankrupt nation although the economic has been turning around recently because of better management and high oil price (US/Russia are largest producer of oil, Saudia Arabia is the largest exporter of oil). As for the Russia tank/air plane/etc. most of them are broken or need serious repairs and the most advance weapons are so low in number to be an insufficent force (How many WORKING S-400 are in field usage? or the latest working Mig/SU?). Russia's military need money. why do you think we have flymig.com (although Russia have great pilots/planes but the pilots/planes don't get flying time - NO MONEY).

As for the Russia solider, they suffer high suicide rate ( I think more Russia soliders have committed suicide last year then the total US lost in iraq in the last 2 years about 1500 both combat/no combat related) and many try get around the draft, and there is widespread corruption within the military leading to some soldier not being able to feed themselves. Find me a reputable/independent 3rd party news media to counter my statement. I know Putin is trying hard to turn this around.

Why don't you search google and read some article or goto the BBC and search on the Russia military (BTW wanna talk about navy/sea power?)

I don't know so much about tanks but I believe T-72 is inferior to M1.

About 4th largest army - Iraq in 1991.

That's a ****.

I can beat 10 people at same time (people with ages btw 0-7 years old). So. I am a very powerful man. Comme on.

What had Iraq than?

Was more large than USA or China or India or Ukraine or UK or Russia or France?

Maybe than Hungary or Romania or even Germany.

What kind of weapons?

Was like Polonia in WWII. 43 men killed in german side and Polonia give up in 2 weeks.

If USA is so hyperpower why didn't attack Russia in Chechnya case?

Russia is bankrupt?

Maybe you talk about Bulgaria (1996).

Be, all of you, realists.

Some of you told MiG-29 was shot down in some cases by F-15. Right, but MiG-29 isn't UAV or UCAV, so there was mens' mistakes. Examples go on to infinite.

That's a ****. "

- 'It would eventually grow to its apex during the Iraq-Iran war, when it reached a total figure of 1.75 million men-at-arms, making it the fourth largest army in the world.'

What do you said now?

'The United States suffered 148 killed in action, 458 wounded, 121 killed in nonhostile actions and 11 female combat deaths

In June 1991 the U.S. estimated that more than 100,000 Iraqi soldiers died, 300,000 were wounded, 150,000 deserted, and 60,000 were taken prisoner. Many human rights groups claimed a much higher numbers of Iraqi killed in action.'

The iraq army was consided on the formable and well trained in the middle east since the recent war with iran especially the elite republican guards. Many Russia Generals in the documantary I saw highly praise the Iraq army. Saying the iraq army would be a bloody battle for the US.

"Was like Polonia in WWII. 43 men killed in german side and Polonia give up in 2 weeks"

This was 2 weeks? So what, it's not the entire war. Unfortunately Poland lost millions of people in WW2.

"If USA is so hyperpower why didn't attack Russia in Chechnya case? "

Why would they do that? It's Russia little trouble spot where there is now little information that ever get out since Russia rarely let any foreign journalists in. Unfortunately now. Russia don't have any more independent national media as it's all control by the Kremlin.

"Some of you told MiG-29 was shot down in some cases by F-15. Right, but MiG-29 isn't UAV or UCAV, so there was mens' mistakes. Examples go on to infinite. "

I still haven't found a single case of an F15 fighter ever being shot down by any Mig or SU no matter whatever the situation (yes we know the F15 had Awac sometimes)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-15

'As of 2000, the F-15 in all air forces has a combined kill record of 104 kills to zero losses in air combat (a Japanese F-15J shot down another F-15J in 1995 due to an AIM-9 Sidewinder safety malfunction during air-to-air combat training with real weapons).
