Are so really sure about that?
Let's see...
-lanuched first satellite into space
-launched the first man in space
-#3 in the world oil production
-sent our astronauts into space for years when we could not get them of the ground
-#1 wheat exporter in the world
-winning in Ukraine special military operation against everything the US & NATO can throw at them
That's the short list.
Go back to school. You don't know what you are talking about.
Not only that, where would 007 James Bond be without his Vodka martinis?
Yep - and your list confirms it. Russian science and technology development since 1957 can be summed up in one sentence - Nothing new under the sun, just improvements to what's already there and often built on stolen tech. No new ideas, no massive leaps forward.
launched first satellite into space?
Yeah, I'll give you that one. From 1957. And they're still dining out on it. (Get over it, Ivan, got anything from the last 40 years to cheer about?!)
That was a huge milestone achieved entirely through incremental gains to existing tech, and Russia only did it for the prestige because America announced they were going to do it.
The long term result was DARPA, which has been instrumental in the development AND real world applications for: weather satellites, GPS, drones, stealth technology, voice interfaces, vaccine development, modern encryption, the affordable personal computer, mobile communications, and the internet to name but a few. Russia did it first for the bragging rights, but America did it properly.
launched the first man in space?
An overstated achievement. Russia beat America's plans by just one month, and only did so by cutting every safety corner and using simplification again. The result was one orbit (and if that had failed and Gagarin had died Russia would've simply buried it.) The following year, John Glenn did three orbits, in a craft with more safety systems. Russia did it first for the bragging rights, but America did it properly.
#3 in the world oil production
Ha!
Russian access to oil mainly stems from geography and geology, combined with Russia really not exactly setting a high bar in technology related to oil and mining. If we had the same oil reserves they had, and were just as motivated to tap all of them, our oil production would be forty years ahead of theirs technologically, and vastly more efficient. Their biggest advantage here is actually the Western geopolitical aversion to developing new oil fields.
And, the single best political decision for the benefit of Russia's oil industry in the last 25 years was Germany's INCREDIBLY retarded choice to use Russian oil because of... Fukushima. As if there's ANY risk of a nuclear power station in the Schwarzwald being hit by a tsunami AND damaged by an earthquake on a non-existent continental fault line near Frankfurt.
sent our astronauts into space for years when we could not get them of the ground
See above. More about the bragging rights, than about serious innovation. It's one of the greatest ironies that despite the West actually investing a shit-ton into safety that Russia doesn't really bother with, the biggest tragedies in space exploration have been with the Space Shuttles. Russian low-bar achievements with tried-and-tested tech are actually good evidence of Russian stagnation. There's no drive to innovate in anything except making rockets faster and longer range - which basically puts Russia on the same level of ambition as medieval archers refining longbows and crossbows.
#1 wheat exporter in the world
See the oil argument. A product of Russia's sheer size, and climate - nothing to do with competence. One could just as easily argue, if Ukraine was just as big and had just as many wheat fields with the same climate, its vastly more advanced agribusiness would be producing and exporting far more than Russia.
Oh - and some of the innovations in wheat production that Russia wants to use has been developed in Ukraine with Western cooperation, while Russia is still using 50-year-old tech. Including the customized firmware for the automation... Russia might've nicked those tractors, but it sure as shit will have a problem unlocking the mobilisers, and it will have to reverse-engineer the customizations to make use of them.
winning in Ukraine special military operation against everything the US & NATO can throw at them
Haha. Russia's WOULD be winning in Ukraine if it wasn't corrupt as hell, didn't have a completely stagnant military-industrial complex, and wasn't hamstrung by Putin refusing to admit (and in fact legislating to ban anyone saying it) that this is a war and issuing a general mobilisation.
Anyone in Russia with two brain cells to rub together, and access to the internet, had ample opportunity to see what a shit-show the first few weeks were, before YouTube and Facebook got blocked. The educated Russian masses saw tanks getting stuck and cheap Chinese tires on vehicles disintegrating in the cold. they saw dress uniforms in abandoned tanks - proof the military brainz thought they'd walk it all the way to regime change in Kyiv.
Educated Russians know the media blackout in Russia and the wall-to-wall propaganda is being done to cover stuff up; they're making damned sure their kids don't join the military right now. Conscripts and those on national service are exploiting their legitimate right to refuse to be deployed into Ukraine.
Russia would be buggered if it didn't have three proxies doing all the hard work: the DPR, the Kadyrovites, and Wagner mercenaries. And, it has a tappable resource in the POOR areas of the Russian empire. Where people still think cathode ray tellies are advanced tech, and where the brainwashing is so much easier.
