    I thought Russia was fighting with Cold War stuff and that that’s part of why they were on the back foot. Something about rusty AK-47s

      If the satellite images of their boneyards are to be believed, it appears that they’ve used up anything that was newer than the 1950s, and are rapidly depleting all their leftover WWII and 1950s equipment. I saw a thread the other day that someone linked pics, and they’re down to less than 20% of their “backup” equipment.
