      I read somewhere that the Russian Armed Forces don’t have a Non Commissioned Officer corps

      Maybe they need to invest in that ? Communication between officers and enlisted members and train your troops before you throw them to the wolves ?

      What do I know ?

    4. Villag3Idiot on

      Wasn’t this one of the factors that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union? That they were spending way too much of their budget on the military?

      So 6.2% of the GDP that will just inflate ressource costs, produce crippled people and not innovate or scale in the slightest.

      How much of the GDP is even civilian industry and service? Probably the biggest chunk comes from exploiting ressources and agrarian?

      It will take decades for Russia to recover from this disgusting war.

      That is an insane amount for a country that was never under any threat of invasion.

    11. Mithspratic on

      That’s equal to levels the US was spending in the last year of WW2. It’s absurd that they can fund so much and achieve so little against a much smaller force they tried to get the jump on. Embarrassing! These are the worst imperialists I’ve ever seen!

    12. Mithspratic on

      For context after the German invasion in ’42 the Soviet Union was spending 65 percent on defense. The fact that Russia is approaching that now against Ukraine is a laughable reflection of the state of Russian finances and their army. And a testament to the resilience of Ukraine’s defence.

    14. snakesnake9 on

      Such a waste. Absolutely nothing would happen to Russia if they didn’t do this, they’d probably get quite a boost from ending the war.

      But because Putin serves only himself and not the Russian people, then they will keep going down this track.

      The saying “when your enemy makes mistakes, don’t interrupt them” comes to mind here, for some reason.

    17. Responsible-Mix4771 on

      The truly sad part is that the overwhelming majority of Russians rejoice with this. Who cares about  healthcare, education, roads or trains if they can realize their “dream” of restoring their “empire” to its former glory? If Ukraine falls, then it’s the Baltics, Poland and Finland. The western world fails to grasp to what extent nearly all Russians are nationalistic nutjobs.

      Wtf is that thumbnail….. is that some knock off russian Vtuber lol

    19. MonarchNF on

      I’m just some guy on the internet, but is money what is actually holding back the Russian military in Ukraine?

    20. lithuanian_potatfan on

      Some minor state company heads and oligarchs should be really careful around windows now

    22. bondafong on

      Just allow Ukraine to use the weapons we give them as they see fit.

      And give them more from South Europe, Germany, France, USA and the other countries sitting on their hands.

      Russia WILL WIN this war if we allow them to. Don’t be naive – 40% is a lot of money for bombs.

    23. DramaticWesley on

      Just for a little context, the U.S. (which spent roughly $800 billion dollars on defense funding) uses about 13.3% of last year’s budget on military spending. 40% is unsustainable.

    25. Doublewobble on

      Russia going into wartime economy, meanwhile Europe struggles to hit 2% GDP defense budget. What a time to be alive… Nothing to see here folks.

    28. uberlander on

      For clarity to all the readers. Russia is spending 6% of GDP on defense.

    29. fergyrdf on

      In order to attain master Pootin’s goals of increased defense spending dozens of new distilleries will be built in order to supply the increased 40% of Vodka demanded by his front line personnel

    30. bikbar1 on

      That obsession with spending more and more for being capable of killing as many people as possible was the main reason for the downfall of the mighty Soviet Union.

    31. agumonkey on

      Hopefully murphy’s law will kick in

      It’s a famous saying that when you’re struggling, pouring more resources onto the problem doesn’t fix it.

    34. The-Bear-Down-There on

      If my rent is more than 30% of my income I’m considered in “Rent stress” is Russia now in “War stress”?

    35. acemedic on

      So is it that expenditures are increasing to put military spending at 40%, or is military spending staying flat and overall revenues for the government are decreasing to put military spending at 40%?

    36. oOzonee on

      Don’t get me wrong having a higher spending in military would be great for lots of country but at 40% I feel like your economy is pretty much dead.

    37. stochastaclysm on

      The economy must’ve crossed a red line so they’re nuking it.

    38. Bandeezio on

      Russia is going to defeat itself just like you did last time, spending money it doesn’t have.

    39. GettingPhysicl on

      It’s worth it to keep arming Ukraine. Russia will weaken itself and we lose 0 soldiers 

    40. OzoneAnomaly on

      40% of your whole country’s budget just to war with Ukraine hahaha

    41. Figur3z on

      By comparison, the US spent 13% of its budget on security.

      40% is truly insane.

    44. Frontspokebroke on

      It is because Ukraine, although losing some ground is not losing fast enough for the losses that Russian is sustaining and the economic damage the war is causing. If Russia, with its current expenditure, continues to gain small snippets of land, this will be a rerun of the first Chechen war, which they lost.
