Faction re-emergence in Russia

[The Wizard]

I'll put it simply.

Our old KGB homie had a bout of strong nostalgia.

'Nuff said.

ChewieTobacca: One word: morale. The Russian army of today is so horribly managed, led and controlled that the average soldier has absolutely no motivation whatsoever to serve his country. It's a textbook example of how conscription can **** up in the most horrible way.

This isn't the Red Army. This is a shadow of its former self. Perhaps on its way back, but doing so with baby steps.

Also, that PAK-FA? India finally got Putin to develop it with them in January or early February when he visited New Delhi. In return, HAL does not get to develop the indigenous Medium Combat Aircraft. Pity.
