The propaganda is getting increasingly desperate in maintaining the hype over overpriced dusfunctional stuff, but the truth comes out over time. You don’t hear about Saint Javelin and Holy Baytaktar much anymore, Reverend HIMARS is following them into oblivion.

The difference is that, even though it took the Russians a while to figure it out, they did understand that they were going to have to fight the West at some point, given the psychos that the West was electing. The West, meanwhile, never thought they’d have to fight the Russians, or any other strong country.
So, that meant that weapons in the West didn’t have to actually work in combat, but rather only had to appear capable of working in combat. For Russia, knowing they were going to used in combat, they had no choice but to make sure they worked...or it would cost lives.
People like myself could see this coming regarding the weaponry of the West as much of it was reported in the media publications. But the people running the West, who are basically a bunch of Art Majors, simply had no interest in understanding our weaknesses...and so now we pay the price.
