LMAO, “Russia now beat them in peer warfare”. How long has Russia been trying to fight and losing against a small country with basically no military budget?
This article is WHACK. Even if it was true-ish it misses love key point. The US Military industrial complex is MASSIVE. In a real conflict, it can easily pivot to more effective technologies, especially if they’re cheap and Iran has “basically open sourced them”.
I’m no US fanboy, but to call the US Military weaker than Russia after what we’ve seen of colonialist behaviour on both sides in the last 25 years, you’d have to be completely off your gourd.

There is a war of attrition in which Russia is winning by most important measure of gaining vs losing territory. It has equipment superiority over Western backed Ukraine. Production capacity that is higher than the west.

While massive, it is extremely wasteful, and the technology shifts it has committed to are expensive and underperforming. F35s have low reliability/flight time. Littoral ships scrapped 5 years after comissioning, refueling ships in long dry dock time. Boeing troubles is a hallmark of a US defense system that only cares about spending money instead of results/quality/value, with CEOs simply good at bribes and promises instead of caring about execution.
LMFAO. Russia? Superior military manufacturing capability than the West??? God that’s funniest thing I’ve read in a month. China? Absolutely true that by some measures has superior military manufacturing capability than the US, or the EU. Russia is a joke, please keep this completely detached from reality content to hexbear or whatever tankie community your main account is in.
Weird. You’re saying a country actively in a war is making more bullets than a country that isn’t at war at all? Wow, next you’ll tell me people eating food chew 3x as much as people not eating food.
Production rate != Manufacturing capacity. Just look at Russia’s production rate now vs before the war.
Damn it’s unbelievable how dumb you tankies are. You think you can just say stuff without thinking for even a fraction of a second about it first.

Ukraine is literally getting old tech that allows the west justification to pay for new tech.
Russia isn’t even fighting new shit and they’re digging through museums for equipment lol

That comes from Ukraine. Another UK source has the difference as 3x. Russia military production was up 40% in 2023 and 2024
This article focuses on Iran and a missile vs plane war.
Your dismissiveness seems like copium, though I understand a basis to challenge some of article’s conclusions.
