using NATOID hardware to demonstrate the superiority of mass over quality in modern warfare goes crazy, imagine being this willfully clueless

    NATOID hardware to demonstrate the superiority of mass over quality in modern warfare

    this is a cold war impression where the entire Warsaw Pact had more equipment that were supposedly less quality. but without soviet tanks & shit even being worse, even if they’re a little better, NATO possesses more of almost every kind of equipment, because they snatched up most the Warsaw Pact while Russia inherited like half of the USSR alone. NATO ‘wunderwaffen’ if y’all wana call them that are actually fucking numerous if you add them all up

      I’m referring more to the fact that Russian/Soviet designed armour is easier to produce than Western AFVs. I could be wrong on this though. I suppose the framing on this is wrong since yes NATO does have more assets deployed but I view it more in the sense that Russia should have better replenishment/manufacturing throughput measured by units produced. I appreciate your perspective though, you have a point.
