Just thought that some of you might want to discuss matters pertaining to the Russian military that do not necessarily fall under the aviation and naval aviation umbrellas. I know I do. My particular interest is the ongoing professionalisation and modernisation of the Russian military.

Anyway, I thought we could discuss things like land forces and other matters here.

I'll kick it all off with this news piece:

Russia in talks with France on 'future soldier' gear

http://en.rian.ru/mlitary_news/20110224/162739371.html

Russia is holding talks with France on the purchase of Felin advanced "future soldier" equipment, which includes new combat clothing with body armor and a new ballistic helmet, weapons, and a portable computer.

This is not the appropriate forum for discussion of armies and their equipment.

To allow this thread to stand would be to set a precedent.

This is a final decision on the matter,

Any comments, complaints etc directly to the Webmaster, please.

Thanks
