Evidence that the Russian military is generally in the toilet is far more numerous. And most of their technological innovations can't be affored by their military...it's their design bureaus desperately trying to come up with stuff to sell for the export market.
The Russian military can barely control Chechnya..that's like us being unable to put down a revolt in Arkansas.
the export market -- that would be the likes of China, right? Something else to which not to pay attention, right?
Do you discount Gertz, Timmerman, and Santoli, too?
