The russians have better millitary tactics hand to hand as well, and are also better trained at shooting. Not to mention the AK is a way better rifle than the M4 or M16. The US trainning is more geared to trainning a lot of guys quick and doing it cheap. If you ever see live combat clips of US and Canadian troops they make loads of tactical errors like standing in front of a door befor you bust in, not clearing halls stairs etc befor you walk past them, Walking in a vally instead of taking the high ground and shooting down into it. Canadians where way better in the past, but honestly I think the goverment thinks men are more expendable than money. Russians can train well cheaply, because they can do things to thier guys that are considerd compleatly un ethical here like paying thier men in Vodka lol
