"Our army and navy have proven their readiness, and we intend to increase their defense potential by putting into service hypersonic, laser, and other weapon systems that other countries do not yet have," Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with senior officials and prosecutors.
Russian President stressed that, however, for Russia:
"This is no reason to threaten others. On the contrary, we are ready to do everything that is up to us to encourage the disarmament process, also taking into account our latest weapon systems, whose mission is only to ensure security in light of the growing threats against us.Meanwhile, the wars of the future will be much more dynamic and unlikely to be fought in large-scale direct confrontations, as during the great wars fought in the 21st century, said Russian Major General.
"This year the number of military exercises has increased by 25%. It is important to continue to raise the level of professional preparation of officers and soldiers, to reinforce discipline and morale in the Army. This represents a guarantee of the combat capability of the Armed Forces."
The war of the future must adapt to modern battlefield conditions, said Maj. Gen. Sergei Chebotarev, commander of the unified Amur contingent of Russia's eastern military district. He told the newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star), organ of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation:
"The armed conflicts of recent years show that modern warfare will be dynamic, highly technological, and will prevent large-scale direct battles. Probably there will be no trench warfare in classical forms, as we used to see in World War II movies."The major general indicated that unified contingent troop training uses new methods, including practical high-speed shooting and exercises in a common tactical scenario, according to a unified plan.

From my experience, it seems that they do not 'enjoy' their self deluding reality bubbles'; so much as they, in the desperation of their cognitive dissonance, (mostly PTB planned) , cling to their delusions the same way a savage, facing a liion, rather than climbing a nearby tree, instead collapse into a fetal position clinging to a talisman, or a drowning man, rather than swimming to safety instead clings to anything that still floats, including his bottom bound ship.

At last, Russia has returned to the world arena as a strong state - a country that others heed and that can stand up for itself.
