Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu reacted to his German counterpart Ursula von der Leyen's comment earlier this year about approaching Russia "from a position of unity and strength," during an interview in Moscow on Sunday.
Shoigu said, "after everything Germany has done to our country, I think they should not say anything on the issue for another 200 years," referring to the Soviet Union's role in defeating Nazi Germany.
He then advised Berlin to "revisit history," adding "ask your grandfathers what it means to talk to Russia from a position of strength. They will probably be able to tell you."
The Russian defence minister also described current Russian military hardware as "impeccable."
