but generally better results

Not only has the US not won a war since the 1950s, literally every nation that relies on high tech low production has fucking failed at warfare

It's war. Things will break and get destroyed. There are no invincible Wunderwaffen. It is always better to have five tanks that are 80% effective but easily replaced and repaired over one single tank that's 100% effective but requires millions to build one single tank

It's a lesson taught over and over again

basically the zap brannigan special of throwing meat into the grinder

This is literally Nazi WW2 propaganda that still gets repeated as fact. I'm sure you still believe that the Soviets only armed half their troops at Stalingrad

So why hasn't Russia taken over Ukraine?

And why are you bringing Stalingrad into this? You are literally saying it's a good thing that Russia is producing more arms etc and then saying Russia doesn't tend to operate by trying to use overwhelming numbers? Huh?

Because that isn't their goal despite what the NATO disinformation mills would have you think.

Bombs aren't people. You can pummel an enemy with a metric shitfuckton of shells without sending in human waves.
