Russia Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that 'the Russian army is fully equipped with modern weapons.'
The Russian military has come a long way since the formation of the latest government nearly seven years ago, and officials discussed the new capabilities during a recent discussion at Moscow's lower house of parliament.
He emphasized that"the Russian army is fully equipped with modern weapons and equipment, and all military units possess constant combat-readiness." The feud has played out in international arenas, where the world's two leading military powers have often backed competing agendas. Tensions escalated after a U.S.-supported political uprising ousted former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, just as eastern separatists staged a rebellion that Kiev said was backed by Moscow. Russia then annexed the Crimean Peninsula following an internationally disputed vote there.
