“We very effectively showed ourselves by participating in the Syrian operation. Our army conducts more effective exercises. And all this happens not only on the map, but also in the actual use of troops in the training theater of military operations, using artillery, aircraft and airborne landing. Thus, the newest types of weapons and means of delivery of personnel are developed. The most important thing is what effect and what result the army gets when it performs certain tasks, ”said Sherin.
The deputy also noted that "the rating does not show readiness, but reflects only the amount of funding and the number of armed forces."
“The Russian military budget is being used more efficiently. Of course, there are issues that require improvement and control. The Russian Federation has the technology of high-precision weapons, it has a combat-ready army, ”he concluded.
The Russian army was in second place in the ranking of the strongest armed forces in the world, compiled by the international organization Global Firepower.
