Meanwhile, their only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, is reportedly heading to the scrapheap after 9 years and $1 billion wasted on failed repairs. It is in such terrible shape that no one even wants to buy it for scrap metal. Which begs the question: how is the legendary Russian submarine fleet holding up? The reality under the surface isn’t much better.

European funding has finally married Ukraine’s legacy Soviet aerospace infrastructure with modern battlefield innovation. Gulf states are now pouring money in too, desperate for interceptors the U.S. has told them it cannot supply. Russia’s advantage has never been innovation, it has been scale, taking someone else’s idea and producing it 5x over, once the production line is running.
