Lest we become too smug, anyone check the date of manufacture on an M1 Abrams, Bradley IFV, MLRS, Apache AH-64, Hemmtt, Nimitz class CVN, Los Angeles class attack subs, F-15, F-16? Heck, I didn’t even go to the B-52, KC-135, etc. While these systems have been upgraded and improved, we are living off Ronald Reagan’s cold war defense budgets.
But our sytems are constantly upgraded and our technology is on the cutting edge. The Russians let their military fall apart and they are way behind technologically.
We are still way ahead in the world in military technology.
