using NATOID hardware to demonstrate the superiority of mass over quality in modern warfare goes crazy, imagine being this willfully clueless

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

this is a cold war impression where the entire Warsaw Pact had more equipment that were supposedly less quality. but without soviet tanks & shit even being worse, even if they're a little better, NATO possesses more of almost every kind of equipment, because they snatched up most the Warsaw Pact while Russia inherited like half of the USSR alone. NATO 'wunderwaffen' if y'all wana call them that are actually fucking numerous if you add them all up
I'm referring more to the fact that Russian/Soviet designed armour is easier to produce than Western AFVs. I could be wrong on this though. I suppose the framing on this is wrong since yes NATO does have more assets deployed but I view it more in the sense that Russia should have better replenishment/manufacturing throughput measured by units produced. I appreciate your perspective though, you have a point.
