When people think of military powers, countries like Russia and the United States tend to come to mind. There is no doubt that the military power of the United States and Russia is indeed far ahead of the world. Russia, as a fighting nation, is very strong in terms of the quality of its army and its equipment. Looking back at history, the Soviet Union was once strong enough to confront the United States for a long time, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited most of the Soviet Union's research results and research results, so its military base was strong. However, some accuse Russia of being dependent on the Soviet legacy. So, how long can Russia continue to rely on these "old books"? There has always been an assertion about Russia's dependence on the Soviet legacy.
Although Russia inherited most of the Soviet possessions, it is clear that it is not enough to rely solely on the Soviet Union's "old roots" in order to achieve its current strength and status. Ukraine, for example, also inherited the property of the Soviet Union, but did not achieve the same development as Russia. This shows that Russia has undergone a lot of development after inheriting property, so it cannot simply be said that Russia has been gnawing at the old roots. Russia's development is undeniable, and its military power is still strong today. However, it must also be admitted that Russia is indeed dependent on the legacy of the Soviet Union. After all, the large number of research results and military equipment left by the USSR gave a huge boost to the development of Russia.
Although Russia's military strength is still strong today, it cannot be denied that it has not made many breakthroughs and has always been built on the basis of the Soviet Union. According to the analysis of experts, if Russia continues to blindly rely on the "old roots" and lacks a major breakthrough in the next 15 years, it may reach a stalemate and go to the road of decline. Therefore, Russia urgently needs to make more innovations and advances in the military field in order to maintain its leading position. Despite the saying of "gnawing at the old roots", Russia, as a military power, may not be prominent in the economic aspect, but it has always maintained a leading position in the military field.
However, now Russia is also in dire need of a breakthrough, so they have been working hard.
