    I love how after all the tankie YouTube videos boasting the “superiority” of Russian arms, the S-400 and S-500, Iskander etc… we finally get to see that the entire Russian military is just vaporware.

      I mean, on paper the S-400 and S-500 were very impressive and credibly so

      They just didn’t turn out to be that effective in reality.

      Overhyped systems and a combination of “it would be quite effective if someone didn’t sell half its components on the black market”.

      I don’t think that’s entirely fair, the system wasn’t operating at the time of the attack. It does seem to work, it just jams absolutely everything.
