Who is the successor to the Soviet Union? Ukraine or Russia?

There's no successor to Soviet union.
Russia is not Soviet union

Eriokanmi:
What a weak country like Ukraine would still blow off anytime, just as they're currently doing?

That warship costing billions of dollars blown up by Ukraine with several casualties recorded after it sank remains a mystery. I used to rate Russia so high but I was wrong.

It is not worth a billion, Russian weapons are not as over priced as that of the western world.

Eriokanmi:
A good reason why Russia has never succeeded in manufacturing a commercial aircraft. They kept crashing after test running. They make so much empty noise, just like North korea

I expected more from you.
Try to be more intellectual and thoughtful, reason rationally to be able to get the unbiased truth.

Russia is a world superpower....wishful thinking can't change it, blackmails& misinformation can't either.
Even all the nation's of the world recognize that.

The world's 2nd graded military, 10th largest self sufficient economy, largest landmass, largest fossil &mineral deposits, one of the top 8 tech& science nations, top 7 highest foreign, domestic& gold reserve in the world(with more dollar&gold reserves than the US& most NATO nations individually), with very low debt profile compared to most NATO nations, in top 13 most populated nations, top 15 highest standard of living in the world, one of the top ICT nation of the world, one of the top agricultural producers and so on
Totally self sufficient and contented nation who doesn't go about manipulating others or causing issues all over the world.

Yet you say Russia is nothing or can't make aircrafts...I laugh.
they make the Ka series, Mig series, Su series &export world over with the Sukhoi civil planes being their flagship aircraft.

I get it if you don't like Russia but respect them....the (war)military exercise in Ukraine is between Russia vs Ukraine/NATO...so it will take time obviously.

When Russia stepped into Syria war matter, the US&NATO started experiencing issues/delays/failures of target till they abandoned the war.

So once superpowers are involved directly or indirectly...delays&set back will surely occur.

Besides, this conflict is about the global balance of power, nations who understand it stay away or neutral...bcus most nations are fed up with NATO's imperialism and are happy Russia/China are putting them in check.

That's because America is trying not to Trigger WW3 with Russia. Moreover,Ukraine will suffer more losses if the said WW3 is triggered. America and the UK are playing war politics using Ukraine as pawns....

At the end of World War II, Czechoslovakia was re-established as an independent country. After a coup in 1948, Czechoslovakia came under communist administration, and became a part of the Soviet-led Eastern Bloc.

Good


Being a part of the Eastern bloc doesn't make it a part of the USSR


Two different things

Morphinne:


Lol. So many kids on this forum but I like you because you have the potential of a brainy kid. Yes, you just made your research and I’ll ask you a question from your own research. From this screenshot, I can see the maker’s name given as Mikhail Kalashnikov” now was this man from ethnic Belarusian, ethnic Ukrainian or ethnic Russian?

You don't even Know the different between maker and designer,I can't argue with you �

...and they're so poor as a country, with all these your showers of praise? How many made in Russia products have you used in your life? They must be paying you so much to have put up all all these gibberish.

I blame Nigeria's useless leaders who have been sleeping since independence. You'd not have come here and be rating Russia who's just 8th on oil and gas endowment list while Nigeria is 8th and more populated than your beloved Russia so high. For clarification, I never said Russia can't make a plane....I meant COMMERCIAL PLANE. Or let me come down to your level... Russian passengers paying aircrafts for long hauls are made by Boeing and Airbus. Their jets can't fly a long haul. Check it.

The last time I checked, the russian commercial plane launched was bought by a businessman who died in the plane as they were test running it. The plane crashed and that was the 2nd time their commercial made-plane would crash so, they stopped production. Would you call that a success?

Eriokanmi:

Bro check the value,the western media gave to it.
It is valued at 800+million dollar, while the American version may cost billions.

javaguru:
are u just enjoying the argument or your just behind the USSR guy. the point is straight, the patent holder is the owner, without Russian license, Ukraine can't produce.

Alright sir, I'm enjoying the argument.. learning one of two things from there.

Mooh247:


1:To answer you .. most US weapons like fighter jets , missile defence system and unguided missiles are programmed in English Language, they use US measurements standards and would flag many Ukrainian weapons on radar as enemies

So NO , arming Ukrainian Army with Western weapons might be counterproductive

2: Russia sells weapon like a commodity, they don't act as moral guide or dictate who you use it on as long as you pay .. the work of world police is for United Nations and International Criminal Court

Take the case of Goodluck Jonathan that refused to allow gay rights and US Congress refuses to sell arms to him claiming human rights infringement of terroist... Russia wouldn't do that

Damn... I don't like quoting someone when a thread is long gone but out of all the ignorance statements you made on the first page, this your no.1 is the ultimate. There's always an export variant for every weapons made in every country.
In US, only Abram tanks and f-22 is not for export but every other of there weapon can be exported to any country even Russia. It's up to the country to integrate and program their weapons only if they run on Central control unit but it's only the USA that have the capability to run things centrally .

I won't banter words with you...if you choose to leave in self denial then no problem, I can't help& won't insult you for that either.


Both your self denial of the the truth or that of others like yourself can't and won't change the facts on ground

Russia is a very very powerful nation ..take it or leave, that position didn't come by joke.

I had used many Russia gadgets if you don't know& many are in the market.

One of the limitations the Russians have had even in the past ass USSR is the non- expansionist ideologies, which I believe will change, they will learn from China soon...

if Russia were expansionist in nature they would have been everywhere controlling& manipulating nations like US&NATO nations.

They Russian believe bin doing their business quietly and without meddling in others affairs..that is why you don't get to hear much about them...Russia is not a nation that believe in shiny stuffs, PR or show off besides another obstacle they have is language barrier as Russian language is not so spread outside of the Slavic nations.

They scientific signature & products are everywhere in jet engines, rocket engines, medicine, engineering, nuclear physis, space sciences, ICT, molecular chemistry, biology and physics, abstract concepts and so on.

Nations like India, China, Isreal, South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, US, Germany, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Japan, France, Brazil, Turkey that buy lots of Russian manufactured goods are not fools you know.

On topic.... India receiving arms from Russia. Why shouldn't they? I do like India's stand.... aren't they independent?.... and can make whatever decision they want? India is just remaining non aligned.... not committed to the East or West. Now why would the US not respect that? Now India is being threatened by the US with serious consequences if it does not cut off Russia. One World Order... do as the US dictates or else.

This is Russian made Sukhoi civilian passenger plane and very much active&in use by many airline companies.

That you bought planes from other nations doesn't make yours irrelevant or not good enough, it's simply for business& comparative business advantage.

US buys Airbus from France& France buys Boeing from US...same as china.


Be enlightened and don't speak out of blind followership of western nations all the time.

Note...I don't hate Western nations either, i am only being truthful & objective.

sunboy:


Ignorant! AK 47 is Soviet made not Russian made. Ukraine is part of Soviet Union, Ukraine has lots of Soviet era weapons manufacturing plants including nuclear manufacturing. Same goes for the s300, Russia modernized their own version now that they are selling but it’s a Soviet era technology.
Have you asked how Slovekia a nato member has enough to give Ukraine ? Simple answer, it was a Soviet nation and got some shares of the s300 when they broke up.

Just to educate you!

We know AK-47 was an invention during the Soviet era, but you can't call it Soviet era technology, the inventor of the AK-47 assault rifle is a Russian. He was a colonel in the Soviet army . The rifle was named after him. He created all the blueprints. Up till today, Russia still manufactures military hardware. For your information, slovekia is not part of Soviet Union, it was formerly part of checkoslovakia, checkoslovakia was not part of Soviet Union but a Soviet Ally or satellite nation,get the difference even Poland was a Soviet Ally including former Yugoslavia. All those countries practiced communism and formed what is known as the Iron curtain in Eastern Europe.

Stalin is from present day Georgia not Ukraine. Lets always get our facts right because here is educative .

Kingsnairaland:


So why did they run away from Afghanistan farmers and Vietnam cave dwellers.

US run away! You need sense. They have done what they went there for and that was to chase the terrorists away and also to train and eguiped Afgan military which they also did. They went back to US. If the Afgan with their corruptive nature allow the Taliban terrorists to over thrown them, it's their cup of tea. But during when the USA were there they all went hiding. And you muslims are here running mouth as mumu people

Mooh247:



When you are done kidding yourself you would answer these questions

Where in USSR is Mikhail Kalashnikov from?!

What Ethnicity is Mikhail Kalashnikov among all Slavic ethnicity

Where is Mikhail Kalashnikov gun manufacturing coy located in modern day Slavic countries


Answer this then you can now educate your very own self


MZik makers of S300 and S400 battery where are they located, under which current country?!



.

you are spitting just nonesense sir.

Mooh247:





Even Ukrainian troops use Russian made AK47 and AK49 series instead of American weapons

Ukraine uses S300 defence system as against the US patriot system


.

So you don't know that Ukraine also produces and exports weapons too?
American riffles are more accurate than AK riffles, though they jam more than Aks.

sunboy:


Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Don’t be lazy, just Google it yourself meehn

That guy that asked you what USSR means thinks the "R" in USSR stands for Russia.

That's the reason he asked you that question since you said there is nothing like Russia back then.

diamondy:
Stalin is from present day Georgia not Ukraine. Lets always get our facts right because here is educative .

Both of them are wrong. So tackle it appropriately.

The other person said Russia and he/she said Ukraine.

subsidywise18:


Russian weapons are relatively cheaper than US weapons. (we basically had to empty our excess crude reserve to get the Tucano jets. But quality for money really).

Plus, Ukraine was a soviet state, and has some soviet weapons left over.

Well said

Have you ever bothered to do any research on Ukraine’s military capacity or capabilities before the recent war? That would help you to also know that Russia knocked out most of Ukraine’s military hardwares as the operations began. These include airplanes, helicopters, missiles and launchers, radar systems etc. Had it not been so you think that popular 60 kilometer Russian military convoy wouldn’t have been sitting ducks?

MangekyoAlt:

All, and I mean ALL ak47 that Ukraine uses were inherited or bought from Russia. Not one, was produced by them. Of course they have the capability to produce, but to do that, they wouod have to use another name to avoid license issues.
Read here Ukraine produces their variants already https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vepr


Ukraine does NOT produce S-300. All the S-300 batteries they have now were inherited from the Soviet union. I'm not even sure if they have the capability to produce it seeing as they were begging Slovakia to dash them theirs, because they would've produce it themselves since USA and EU would supply and supplies them parts to produce their hardwares.
Ukraine sold off most of the hardwares they received from the Soviet union, Including more than 1000 Tochka missiles to Russia which is why their military was dogshit before the west started arming them to the teeth and training their troops

Eriokanmi:

Basically, they have no commercial aircraft sector. They tried but not much success. IL aircraft
