it sounded like they are ready to bomb each other. if those missiles can bomb half way around the world, my suggestion is to bomb the huge threat of all, china because if not, they'd be the one who will eventually rule the world just like we see it on movies.

Russia has been dominating the news headlines of late, and for all the wrong reasons. But did you know that they have been drastically increasing their military spending over the past decade? It’s true. While current and previous U.S. administrations have eschewed the Russian threat as being less dangerous than it is, we are seeing something seriously noteworthy take place in Vladimir Putin’s nation.
Led by a new generation of “super weapons,” Russia is beginning to turn heads all over the world. Here are some of the technological marvels we’re talking about.
Sukhoi PAK FA T-50
Sukhoi aircraft have an impressive history in Russia. The newest model, the T-50, is currently in joint development with India. The T-50 is equipped to sustain supersonic flight, better than previous planes. Its range at supersonic speeds is 930 miles. At subsonic speeds, it can go 2,175 miles. It’s an aerobatic plane which can sustain 9G maneuvers for up to 30 seconds with pilot ejection possible from an altitude of 60,000 feet.
T-14 Armata Tank
According to a UK Ministry of Defence report, “[the T-14] certainly deserves its billing as the most revolutionary tank in a generation.” Its 2A82-1M main cannon boasts a firing rate of 10 to 12 rounds per minute. Its APS (Active Protection System) enables the T-14 to swat away attacks that are at speeds exceeding Mach 5. This technology can also hinder the targeting systems associated with anti-tank guided missiles.
It’s time for western nations to play catch up.
RS 24 Yars
Russia is taking its Cold War-era thermonuclear weapons to the next level. At the 2015 Victory Day parade in Moscow, they displayed their RS-24 Yars for the first time. Russia is the only modern country to develop a new generation of nuclear weapons wheras the united states and other countries rely on older cold war era munitions. The RS 24 Yars is newly developed to pierce missile shields employed by the united states.
MI-28N Helicopter
Added to the Russian army’s fleet in 2006, this mean looking chopper is expected to be improved in the coming years.
As early as 2017, Russia is expected to test a new fifth-generation edition of this flier.

This isn't a good overview, it fails to include many russian military innovations such as hypersonic missiles or super cavitating torpedoes.
The media is turning a blind eye to russia modernizing & upgrading its military while the united states & other nations remain stagnant.
NATO and the UN take pride in deploying missile shields and interception networks, not seeming to realize russia is already upgrading their ICBM's and missiles to penetrate those defensive systems.
This is one of the reasons for Trump recently allocating funds to upgrade the US nuclear program. A measure which he received much criticism over due to most people not realizing russia is leaving the rest of the world behind in terms of the nuclear arms race.
The united states in particular is a massive failure with programs like the F-35 being an extreme waste of taxpayer dollars.
What this means economically, is if war breaks out, russia could win. The rest of the world could have fallen too far behind in terms of military technology and effective spending to keep up.
