and you think russia has the funds and manpower to keep their nukes upgraded let alone maintained?
Yeah I do, just like they're able to produce 3x as much artillery ammunition currently compared to the west. Russia has a state run military industrial complex that's designed to make weapons as opposed to line the pockets of the oligarchs.
Able to? That's because we are not in a war with them and the Republicans won't let us do more.
This has nothing to do with republicans. US does not have the industrial base or trained workforce. You can't print artillery shells the way you print money.
We can spin it up fast, that's the whole reason Congress keeps buying new tanks, just to keep the production line up and running. It has everything to do with republicans. Republicans in Russia and the US want Russia to win.
Nobody who has any clue about how these things works thinks you can spin this up fast. It takes years to build factories, train workers, create supply chains, and so on. The fact that you don't understand such basic things shows that you've never had a real job.
Most of it is automated, also you don't need armor to win the war when we have drones. We could do bagdad 2.0 to Russia if we wanted to be directly involved easy. But we will just send drones over just like Ukraine is doing and winning with.
Also real job? Have you been to a dod manufacturing plant?
LMFAO stop lying https://www.popsci.com/technology/stinger-missiles-raytheon-ukraine/
That's because we don't make them anymore, we use other things. Predator drones make up the most amount of kills along with great Intel gathering. If they want to make more for Ukraine to have then hiring people that did it already is the fastest choice. Russia is about to fall into a post war depression with the oligarchs fighting over the scraps.
You don't make anything anymore. You're a deindustrialized shithole of a country. You losers got your ass handed to you by farmers in Afghanistan and Yemen is spanking your excuse for a navy as we speak. Take a seat there with your delusions of grandeur.
Also, absolutely hilarious how you keep exposing yourself as an utter ignoramus. Here's how Russian economy is doing, read and weep loser https://www.dw.com/en/russias-economy-going-strong/video-68315706
