It was once the elite unit of the Soviet Red Army and the hegemon of the European continent. It played an important role in World War II, participated in historic battles such as the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the Battle of Kursk, and made a great contribution to the victory of the Soviet Union. However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the fate of the ** Army has changed dramatically. It has not only lost its original territory and personnel, but also its original equipment and technology, and even more so its original honor and confidence. This article will analyze the glory and decline of the **Army for you from the following aspects.
* The glory of the Army: the ace unit of the Soviet Red Army ** The predecessor of the Army was the First Army of the Soviet Red Army, formed in October 1941 under the command of Marshal of the Soviet Union Zhukov. Its main task was to defend Moscow and stop the German offensive. In the Battle of Moscow, the ** Army played a key role, engaged in fierce battles with the Germans, and finally forced the Germans to retreat, saving the Soviet Union from the crisis. In 1942, the ** Army was reorganized into the First Front Army and continued to participate in major battles such as the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk, providing strong support for the Soviet Army's ** and offensive. In 1944, the ** Army was again reorganized into the 1st Belorussian Front, which participated in the final offensive against Germany, captured Berlin, and ended the victory of the Soviet Union. ** The Army wiped out about 5 million German troops and lost about 1 million in World War II, making it one of the most combat-ready and prestigious units in the Soviet Red Army.
* The glory of the Army did not end with the end of World War II. During the Cold War, the ** Army continued to maintain a high level of combat readiness and training, becoming the main power of the Soviet Union in Europe. Its main task is to defend against a possible NATO offensive, while also preparing for a quick strike on Western Europe. The establishment and equipment of the army are also constantly updated and improved, with a large number of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, aircraft, missiles and other advanced **, which is the essence of the Soviet Army. **The existence of the army has consolidated and enhanced the status and influence of the Soviet Union in Europe, and has also increased the sense of threat and awe of Western countries towards the Soviet Union.
The decline of the Army: The double whammy of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Russia-Ukraine WarHowever, the glory of the Army did not last long. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the ** Army suffered unprecedented blows and losses. It has not only lost its original territory and personnel, but also its original equipment and technology, and even more so its original honor and confidence.
Loss of territory and personnel: After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the stationing and units of the **Army were divided in different countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Germany, etc. These countries have different attitudes towards the Army, some demand that the Army withdraw, some demand that the Army surrender, some demand that the Army be reorganized into its own team, and some demand that the Army pay rent and compensation. ** The command and control of the Army has also been severely disrupted and undermined, and the morale and discipline of the troops have also dropped significantly. ** Some officers and soldiers of the Army have chosen to stay in their original places and join the local army or militia, some have chosen to return to Russia and join the Russian army or other organizations, and some have chosen to leave the army and become civilians or engage in other professions. As a result, the size and strength of the army have been greatly reduced and weakened.
Loss of equipment and technology: After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the equipment and technology of the ** army were also scattered in different countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Germany, etc. These countries also have different treatments for the equipment and technology of the Army, some require the Army to destroy or hand over the equipment, some require the Army to transfer or share technology, some require the Army to pay for or provide services, and some require the Army to retain or update the equipment. As a result, the army's equipment and technology have also suffered serious losses and leakage, some equipment has been dismantled or abandoned, some equipment has been transferred or transferred, some equipment has been modified or upgraded, and some equipment has been used or studied. As a result, the superiority and secrecy of the Army's equipment and technology have been greatly diminished and disappeared.
Loss of honor and confidence: After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the honor and confidence of the ** Army were also severely hit and damaged. The Army was once the ace unit of the Soviet Red Army and the hegemon of the European continent, enjoying a high degree of prestige and respect. However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the image and status of the ** Army have also declined and lowered significantly.

However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the image and status of the ** Army have also declined and lowered significantly. Seen as a legacy and remnant of the Soviet Union, the Army was forced to retreat from its original station, forced to negotiate with its former allies and enemies, forced to fight against its original compatriots and brothers. As a result, the morale and belief of the army have been seriously affected and shaken, and some officers and men have felt lost and hopeless, some officers and men have felt anger and resistance, and some officers and men have felt confused and confused.
*The future of the Army: The outcome and impact of the Russia-Ukraine war**The future of the Army, depending on the outcome and impact of the Russia-Ukraine war. The Russia-Ukraine war is a conflict that has lasted for three years, involving Russia, Ukraine, the European Union, the United States and other countries and organizations, causing thousands of deaths and disabilities, and also bringing huge economic and social losses to both countries and Europe. Behind this war is a complex game and struggle over territory, power, interests, values, identity, etc., and it is not easy to find a simple and satisfactory solution. The outcome and impact of this war will have a far-reaching impact on the fate and future of the Army.
If the Russian-Ukrainian war ends with Russia's victory and Ukraine's defeat, then it will be possible for the ** Army to restore some of its original territory and personnel, it will also be possible to obtain some new equipment and technology, and it will be more likely to rebuild some of its original honor and confidence. **The Army will continue to be Russia's main force in Europe, safeguarding Russia's interests and security, while also facing pressure and sanctions from the European Union and the United States, as well as resistance and hostility from Ukraine and other countries.
If the Russian-Ukrainian war ends with Russia's defeat and Ukraine's victory, then the ** army will inevitably lose more territory and personnel, will inevitably lose more equipment and technology, and will inevitably lose more honor and confidence. ** The Army will no longer be Russia's main force in Europe, but will become a burden and a hidden danger for Russia, while also facing support and encouragement from the European Union and the United States, as well as cooperation and friendship from Ukraine and other countries.
If the Russian-Ukrainian war ends in peace and compromise, then it will be possible for the ** Army to retain some of its original territory and personnel, as well as some of its original equipment and technology, and more likely to retain some of its original honor and confidence. ** The Army will be neither Russia's main force in Europe, nor a burden and hidden danger for Russia, but will become an important factor and role for Russia in Europe, while also facing supervision and constraints from the European Union and the United States, as well as communication and exchanges from Ukraine and other countries.
In short, the ** Army is a once glorious force, now in decline, and the future is uncertain. Its fate and future will depend not only on the outcome and impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, but also on Russia's decisions and actions, as well as on the attitudes and reactions of Europe and the world. The glory and decline of the Army is also a microcosm and reflection of the glory and decline of the Soviet Union and Russia, as well as a witness and participation in the change and development of Europe and the world.
