They’re proving their equipment is junk compared to old NATO kit, so they’re losing billions of future contracts on weapons.

I don’t agree with that blanket statement. With tanks for example, the Soviet Russian designs are outperforming ours.

It’s partly weight, our tanks are too heavy. And that’s a problem for long periods of the year. But it’s also reliability. They break down more often and it’s much harder to repair them in the field than it is with the Soviet/Russian ones.

There’s a useful lesson for us here.
