Russia is just out of luck I guess. I always thought of Russa as a pretty strong country. Sinistral, you know anything about the frequent crashes and accidents it mentioned?
Russia lost much of its might and strenght along with the fall of the Sovjet Union. And what of military equipment is left, is usually remains from the Sovjet Union. What can you expect of equipment that is nearly twenty years old?
My bet is that this is just shoddy workmanship. A common phenomenom in a turbo-capitalistic country.
I just wanted to point out that this thread is fairly amusing if you don’t read any of the articles but just the responses, assuming the wrong thing when they’re talking about ‘Russian equipment’.
