Answer is never..... They re loosing in Ukraine 2014-2026 Lost in Afghanistan 1979-90 Would have lost in WW2 alone vs Germany Lost Winter War vs Finland Lost WW1 vs Germany Lost Russo-Japanese War Lost Crimean War 1855-57 Lost all battles Napoleonic Wars Lost in Seven Years War vs Prussia Lost all battles vs Sweden Great Northern War 1700-14, won only Poltava 1709, but Karl XII of Sweden fought vs 5 nations. Had Sweden only faced Peter I Russia. Russia would be Swedish now ( too bad it never happened) Lost vs Poland thru 16th century. Mongols wiped them out 1239-41AD) One military historian stated one Waffen SS division was better then 12 Red Army divisions. Combat records proved him right.
