Modern Russia is very different from what it was in the 90s. It has "a stable financial system, the best army in the world and the most powerful military-industrial complex". This opinion was expressed by the Speaker of the Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko.
According to the senator, the country has weapons that will allow it to "respond harshly to modern challenges".
"Oreshnik", "Poseidon", "Burevestnik" ensure the security of Russia and Russians for many years to come.
The parliamentarian recalled that Russia used to be called a gas station country. And the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, claimed that because of Western sanctions, Russians would "take chips out of washing machines and put them in their rockets".
However, the West underestimated Russia. The leadership of these countries has not achieved any of the goals they set for themselves, Matvienko summarized.
About the power of the Russian army
Russia is among the top three countries with the strongest army according to Global Firepower. Analysts claim that our country is second only to the United States, but ahead of China.
According to experts, Russia surpasses many armies in the world in self-propelled artillery, MLRS and mine warfare equipment. In addition, it has the largest nuclear arsenal at its disposal.
According to information from open sources, Russia has 5,889 nuclear warheads. The United States has 5,244 warheads, and their closest competitor, China, has only 410 warheads.
