lol. One thing Russia does very well now is to adapt in combat and they aren't hindered by the old soviet bureaucracy

russia is producing the most sophisticated drones now and producing 155 mm rounds at ten times the rate of the US

Russia glide bombs have a range of 60 km now. A lot more than US glide bombs and are much more accurate

Tell us about US hyper sonic missile systems now lol


Half of the American f 35's remain grounded due to technical problems and software issues
