It cant do anything against a combined Nato if worst came to worst. But it is a significant military power. The united states alone has a airforce bigger that all other Nato members and russia combined.

Russia has the powerful card of having a huge nuclear bomb stockpile and a good missile technology. They can shoot down anything. When it comes to ships, it has nothing against nato. Lakini sisi hapa kenya ni mambo bad. ushawahi kuskia putin, merkel, or george bush akitutaja vibaya?

i understand the S-400 air defence system can detect and shoot anything in the air as small as a tennis ball

Superpower does not start and end in militray might. Economic power is another important element one Which Russia is not very strong

well placed…the latter has little effect on military might its the ideology that matters

Military might is dependent on economy. otherwise you cant fight without good money. Soviet Union survived in WWI partly because of American aid. It’s very difficult to defeat a richer enemy.

This topic like many dies as you mature…:smiley:

What do you mean, it has alot of natural resources and supplies natural gas to Europe. Economically, it’s still powerful.
