@Gimi_4u@adamheimlich@yarotrof Russian weaponry is closer to obsolete than that of most western nations.
Russia just has a meat grinder it throws troops and material into.
Imagine, if you will, a world not of rockets, but of jobs for building rockets.
Decades spent not sending people to new frontiers, but distributing funding to districts. A parochial paradise, but an explorers' torment.
Welcome to the Cost+ zone.
@uncletg11@WarMonitor3 Yea, Russia probably likes using infrastructure, soldiers, and military hardware.
It's not like Russia is basically rural poverty interspersed by St Petersburg and Moscow modernity, right? Oh, and a glorified gas station with military sites here and there too.
