Note that Russia produces the same number of STEM Graduates (and Engineering Graduates, by the way) as the US, with the US having nearly 3 TIMES the population of Russia. Kind of explains why they keep shooting down our best missiles.

"Kind of explains why they keep shooting down our best missiles."

Here's an example of the falling debris often cited by the Russians after a strike

Russia is decent with rocket engines, but everything there is brute forced.

And when have we ever fired one of our “best” missiles for them to shoot down? If you’re insinuating Ukraine, they have a bunch of old stuff - patriot’s PAC2, mayybe some old PAC3 stuff, which I’d bet they haven’t shot down many of, it’s a defensive missile. ATACMS ended production what, 18 years ago? If you’re looking at Iran’s Russian systems, they can’t stop anything...
