Russia exported a record amount of wheat this year. 44 million tons. The most ever by any country.

Other parts of the agro sector are not far behind.

Well he's wrong because US wheat exports were 48.8 million tons in 1981. I had a feeling this was just another Russian biased lie and my gut was right.

T-90M is in trials. Upgraded version of the T-90.

I also read that instead of scrapping 10000 old T-72 tanks sitting in depots only 4000 will be scrapped. The rest will be kept in reserves for various purposes. Mainly what they will do is keep the hulls to use for platforms for various purposes. One of which is a self propelled 152mm gun to be used for direct fire and infantry support.

Russians seem to like overkill in a big way.

Not produced, exported and the number was 48.8 million tons. The only person coming up with this 43.9 number (conveniently just less than Russia's 44) is a Russian on a website that only talks about supposed Russian achievements. You're the one making things up but I know you'd rather believe a Russian propagandist over the US government statistics, so what's the use.

Yes, wheat is currently too cheap for western countries to produce and export. Argentina, Ukraine and Russia are the highest growing wheat producers in the world in the past few years. The reason is relative costs are lower rather than being an achievement of any policy those 3 countries adopted.

Now I'm getting something.

I stand corrected. The US did export 48 megatonnes and change of wheat in 1991.

Brazil's military is refusing to invade Venezuela even if the puppet government toes the US line

Venezuela also had count-sniper units to block the infiltration of snipers into rallies to stage a false flag.

USA's military is refusing to invade Venezuela even if the Russian puppet government toes the Kremlin line. Fortunately for criminals who capture control of a country, they can set up a bank in Moscow and launder their stolen cash.
