Fake Vests, 1891 Rifles, and a System of Lies: Russia’s Military Isn’t What You Think

Fake Vests, 1891 Rifles, and a System of Lies: Russia’s Military Isn’t What You Think

On Russian state TV, a prominent anchor dared to say the quiet part out loud: the Russian military is built on lies. From foam-filled bulletproof vests to soldiers using rifles designed in the 1800s, this exposé reveals how deep the rot goes—from propaganda posters in Kherson to helmets made of plastic and uniforms that never existed. Mobilized troops are told to bring their own gear, while crowdfunding campaigns cover basics like shoes and socks. This video dives into the myths, the mock weapons, and the strange truth about why the so-called second strongest army in the world can’t even supply its soldiers with matching boots.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
