minus-squareBernie_Sandals@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·5 months ago Russia’s built ~16 of these Karakurt-class ships since 2018 lol. It’s taken Russia over 10 years to just build a little over 10 stealth fighters. (And Ukraine has destroyed one) Meanwhile the Netherlands alone has 24, and the U.S. has over 600. Russia’s high tech side of their military industrial complex is incredibly weak compared to the old USSR days, and even their low tech side is struggling.
