Of course, a lot of popular defense spaces these days are infested with biased NAFO types, so saying that will get you crucified if you say it around the wrong people. But hey, them's the breaks.
Soviet/Russian stuff (be it tanks, aircraft, or firearms) is inherently effective and well-designed, and a lot of the problems we've seen in Ukraine have come down to maintenance and training issues rather than being wholly inherent to the designs themselves.
still in service with non-Russian militaries to this day, nor would you have AKs and AK-derivatives in service with those same forces. A lot of people like to paint Soviet/Russian equipment as badly-designed or like it straight-up doesn't work, but that just isn't the case. (2/n)
