Shoigu Says Rumors of Russian Military Downfall Nonsense RIA Novosti, PUBLISHED 13.02.2014 Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Wednesday dismissed as “utter nonsense” online rumors that the Russian armed forces are virtually non-existent. At a meeting with students in the Siberian city of Kransnoyarsk, Shoigu was asked to comment on online rumors that “there is nothing left, our army is a total wreck and we can only showcase tin cans at [military] parades in Moscow.” “The country’s nuclear shield remains powerful and strong, and everything is being done to keep it that way. We have thousands of planes and helicopters, a rocket shield, a powerful air defense system,” he said.
