Vladimir Putin ‘more dangerous than ever': Russia pump cash into army | Daily Star DANGEROUS: Putin's tanks can outpace their US rivals

Fears Russia poses a World War 3 threat by attacking NATO nations in the Baltic are on the lips of foreign policy experts.

Putin showed off the mightiest of warships as he brought the military battleships within one mile from Britain’s borders in October.

Now the feared world leader has even pumped money into a new robot prototype – named Fedor – that can lift weights and carry out complex tasks sparking concerns he could build a cyber army "better than humans". Former head of the navy Admiral Lord West revealed how the Russian forces are now more dangerous than ever.

Their huge spending points to how the force could prove unpredictable, Mr West added. FEAR: Russia posing a World War 3 threat is on the lips of foreign policy expert's lips

“They are much more dangerous now”

The navy expert told The Sun: “They have completely modernised their force.

"They are much more dangerous now.

“We have to wonder what is going on.”

His warning comes amid fears an out-of-control space war could break out between the US, China and Russia.

IHS country risk analyst Alex Kokcharov lifted the lid on how the Russian’s military operation has been given a facelift since 2008.

The military developments come as Russia faced humiliating losses after its war with Georgia.

“A lot of money was spent on military upgrades and exercises in certain sections,” said Mr Kokcharov told the paper.

But the changes have not been across the board, he said the Admiral Kuznetsov air carrier deployed to Syria is an example of this.
