I think it’s important to understand that Marxist-Leninists should be supporting the people of both countries, rather than picking one of two capitalist states to back. I understand that Russia has its excuses for doing this, and the Ukraine government has its excuses for what it has done, but it’s important to remember that they are both capitalist countries in the age of imperialism; what they are really after is power. Please feel free to correct me if you believe I got anything wrong.
The question is, how many of those missiles they managed to produce. Russia’s industrial complex has been on decline since the collapse of the SU.
Its not the 90s anymore, Russian economy is doing quite well. Also it only takes one or two missiles to sink an aircraft carrier. Think of the psychological effect when it turns out that the u.s. military isnt invulnerable.
