Ukraine & the Break-up of the Soviet Army

The break-up of the Soviet Army was influenced in various ways by the successor states of the Soviet Union, since the organization, distribution and many other aspects were not suited for smaller states. Certain countries lacked facilities and/or personnel. This video covers the reaction of the Soviet Army to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, how long it took the Soviet Army to break up, how the Soviet Army was distributed among the successor states, the various problems of allegiances, officers, budget, etc. Thank you to TacError and Justin.
