tl;dr version is that Russia either an out of precision munitions, they’re saving them for a special occasion, or else due to corruption the requisitioned munitions magically transformed into a fleet of oligarch superyachts, private jets, Italian supercars, Swiss bank accounts, and mansions or palaces.

The money for all those toys had to come from somewhere.

What does tl;dr mean? I read a while ago that oligarchs became rich diverting the big money in contracts, and the little guys got less poor by stealing the electronic components (chips) from military equipment and reselling them.
