Go educate yourself on Janes or any other good weapons books about these "substandard" system.

You mean, like the T-72 isn't substandard
and can stand toe-to-toe w/ the M1 Abrams?
The few armor folks I know indicate that the
M1 will leave the T-80 in the dust. No pun
intended. That is what I mean by 'substandard'.

But, then again, we know what a megalith
the defense industry of the former Sov Un was
and with the unparalleled quality it designed
and manufactured arms.

Jane's is an interesting publication.
I esp like their aircraft info.
