Yes...until the cannon fodder wises up and realizes that they can revolt and overthrow the ones in charge.Although it is an evil way to think, people are currently easier for the Russians to replace than their more sophisticated equipment like aircraft, therefore it is better to conserve their air assets until needed and expend people in the fighting as long as possible/necessary. Evil but potentially effective if you have enough people - particularly in a war of attrition.
That never works out for Russians, as they always jump from one tyrannical system to another just as bad or worse. Smarter Russians would have stayed with the Tsar post-WW1 and pushed for more powers for the Duma, a sort of Magna Carta for Russia, eventually bringing Russian into a constitutional monarchy.Yes...until the cannon fodder wises up and realizes that they can revolt and overthrow the ones in charge.
The POM-3 mine sounds like a modern version of the WWII German S-mine, which was known as the "Bouncing Betty" or "Frog".New 'jumping' explosives and booby-trapped toys. What Ukraine is facing as the world's most mined country
Ukraine is covered in more landmines, booby traps and unexploded ordnance than any other country in the world. As the conflict rages on, what resources and innovations will help the de-mining community tackle the issue?www.abc.net.au
The question of ongoing maintenance becomes a large issue here. As pointed out, the build quality in the first place isn't the same standard as NATO
users would expect.
Given that, what is the lifetime of engines etc with the sorties already being flown as per Jabberwocky ? How reliable is the ability to replace or
repair the worn out / failed systems which must occur during use in normal flight, let alone combat ? In other words, how much of the Russian
force is being grounded each week / month just by being flown and how much can be refurbished to go back up ?
No idea of the quality of parts or actual build. Others here probably know.

That Tsar, yes. But choose another rather than toss out the system.Dude, they deposed the Tsar because of WWI.
