If everyone is on the take, of course the supply and logistics people in Defence who see large amounts of money are going to be on the take. They'll buy shoddy, second rate shit and pocket what they can.

I think that's part of it. I think the Russian economy is so much worse that we thought it was (and is even worse now) that they are operating forces - Remlik Feb 27, 09:35 9
- I've seen several national security people over the past couple years say Russia has slipped to third world status *(I know it is not PC) - crash davis Feb 27, 09:40 8
  - Oh no question they've been on a downhill slide the past few years... - Remlik Feb 27, 09:55 4
    - This stuff isn't honey, it doesn't stay good forever. You have to spend a lot on maintenance. They didn't -- nm - crash davis Feb 27, 09:59 3
      - They showed one captured Russian tank - it looked moth eaten. -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 10:03 1
        
        I swear it seems like half the guys/girls I meet from the base work in maintenance -- nm - crash davis Feb 27, 10:21
      - it's showing. But they have so much of it. I'm really shocked they don't have the planes in the air. -- nm - Remlik Feb 27, 10:02
  - (first/second/third world was a political designation, not an economic category) -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 09:51 1
    - as conceived by Mao, but it rapidly progressed to economic designation as it was always used to discuss developing countries not Sweden, Switzerland -- nm - crash davis Feb 27, 09:57
  - The ruble is basicly valuless right now and that was before the sanctions -- nm - eag Feb 27, 09:41
