The Russian Ground Forces (Russian: Сухопутные войска, СВ, romanized: Sukhoputnyye Voyska, SV, lit. Overland Troops), commonly known as the the Russian Army (Русская армия, Russkaya armiya), are the land forces of the Russian Armed Forces. The Russian Army in its current form was founded in 1992.
After the Soviet Union was dissolved, efforts were made to keep the Soviet Armed Forces as a single military structure for the new Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). However, it soon became appreant that the Ukraine (and likely other former Soviet republics) wished to undermine the proposal of a general purpose forces and form their own armed forces, promting the Russian goverment to create a military of their own. Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed a decree forming the Russian Ministry of Defence on 7 May 1992, establishing the Russian Ground Forces along with the other branches of the military.
Since its creation, the Russian Ground Forces has been inolved in various conflicts in Western Asia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe, as well as the Syrian Civil War and Iraqi Civil War.

Expert's Opinion[]
Neither group was immensely far ahead of the other in terms of weaponry. What really decided this match was that this was a special forces group vs standard infantry. The US Army Rangers had far better training, and took this match.

Expert's Opinion[]
US National Guard are the winner, they have been outvoted my the Russian Ground Troops due to their better weaponary and the crucial fact that the Russians are attacking them on their homeland where they most likely trained, this was a close match and hand grenades at the right times played a crucial moment with both sides but in the end, the US National Guard took this by a thin chance.
