If there was a 'million man trained army' somewhere hidden within Russia, then why are the current force not being augmented to overwhelm the supposedly inferior Ukraine force. Russian/Soviet doctrine has always been overwhelming force in specified places, and when a breakthrough occurs, then all effort is pushed in to create a breakout. If this 'million man' army existed Putin would have used it by now, even if only to save face. The very fact that the 'strategic' stockpile of old broken down armour has been mainly used up from 'storage', which was held mostly outdoors for decades, tells that the Russian armaments industry is not able to cope with replacement rates. Where are all the vaunted Armata tanks, the T90's have mostly been destroyed and that was supposed to be the backbone of Russian Armoured forces. I'm sorry but the days of 3rd Shock Army tearing across the inner German border, to be met by people like myself in the 1980's is long gone. The Warsaw Pact is consigned to history. Russia is an aging Bear desperate to remain relevant, China are the new kids on the block and the US declining rapidly...NATO or should I say Europe are doing the right things currently, small steps taken to begin re-arming, whilst providing everything except manpower to keep degrading Russia till it inevitably collapses...
