Do you remember anything of history like when during World War II, while under massive attack from the German army, the Russians moved much of their war industry east of the Ural Mountains. They built their new T-34 tanks there that annihilated the Germans and hammered Berlin? Do you really think the Russians forgot how to pull off things like that?
Please try to tell me again, how the “RuZZZZians only have shovels to fight with.! They are orcs and pigs running a gas station with nukes!”
Scratch a neocon globalist and find a leftist nutjob.
Like Putin, you’re obsessed with irrelevant non sequiturs based on stuff that happened eighty years ago and more.
That was then, this is now.
Stalin actually had an existential fight, and that tends to focus minds. Putin governs a country that wasn’t under attack at all... Russia had to blow up its own apartment block to frame the Chechens; it had to create Maidan in Ukraine for an excuse to get into Crimea, and the only motivation for Feb 22 was butthurt.
Russia would be left alone entirely by Europe if Putin abandoned his little fantasy of invading countries under NATO protection, and spent more energy on Russia’s lack of indoor plumbing and thousands of impassable roads that haven’t been resurfaced since perestroika.
Nobody with three brain cells to rub together wants to be a part of Dugin’s death cult vision. The knowhow in Russia to do what you’re talking about left Russia in 2022. The experts who are left are fighting not just a lack of resources but a constant threat of reprisals from Moscow if they tell the retards there that they don’t have the materials, expertise, manpower or competent management to build what Putin demands they build.
From what I’ve read and seen, and I acknowledge that I have no expertise in aviation matters, Russian aviation faces some big problems.
Before the ‘special operation’ began and sanctions were imposed, The Russian domestic aircraft industry was apparently using important components (like engines) on their airplanes. I have no doubt that Russian engineers are quite capable of deigning engines of their own from scratch, but that takes time.
Russia seized E.U. leased airplanes and re-registered them as Russian. Again, from what I’ve read, these planes are cut off from genuine replacement parts and software updates. How this may affect them regarding safety issues and reliability, I don’t know. Obviously, parts can by copied, but these planes will not likely be allowed to fly out of Russia.
This doesn’t mean that Russia can’t and won’t be able to build planes, but it is going to be a stuggle for them.
