Impressive indeed. Commenters mentioned how much better built Russian military equipment is than Western equivalents.
For example, even on the small arms level, the AK-47 is a classic of endurance, whereas American models easily jam in difficult conditions.
"BREAKING & UNBELIEVABLE:
Russian Pilot Saves Su-35 in a Miraculous Belly Landing!
In a stunning display of skill and nerves of steel, a Russian First Lieutenant refused to eject, risking his life to save a Su-35 fighter jet after a total landing gear failure.
All manual and emergency attempts to deploy the landing gear failed. Despite carrying 4 live missiles (R-77 and Kh-31) under the wings, the pilot chose a belly landing rather than abandoning the multi-billion-ruble aircraft.
At 4:00 AM, in total darkness and freezing cold, the jet’s metal scraped the runway.. sparks, flames, and the deafening screech of steel grinding against concrete.. until it finally came to a halt.
The pilot is safe and ready to fly again!
The aircraft has been repaired and is already back in service!
The missiles were inspected and have since successfully downed enemy targets
-: As long as Russia has these "Falcons," its will is unbreakable"

The AK-47s aren't the best weapons in the world. They are very cheaply built. There are many things wrong with the Russian army as is. For instance, they have had to result to importing soldiers from the communist North Korea and Russian military recruiters have gone into African countries where they are tricking the natives into fighting by promising them money that they never get.
Then there are the numerous photos of Russians using donkeys and horses.
Re: Russia war
Well, the AK-47 is certainly the most durable and reliable under difficult conditions. They last and last and last, where American rifles stop working, just pieces of junk.
Yes I am aware about the North Koreans fighting for Russia in Ukraine war. I know some died there.
But do you know how many there are approximately ? I was wondering about that point, in fact.
Is it a small number or a larger contingent of North Koreans ? Are they continuing to arrive, or that was all, whatever number arrived before ?
