Russia produces 4x the amount of artillery shells as all of NATO. SU 35 is half the cost of F35, with better flight availability. Missile technology of Russia is far (at least 5 years) ahead of US. Drone technology is Russia, China, Ukraine only capable. Nuclear powered torpedo is undetected annihilation of any carrier fleet or port in the world. US military spending is just corruption for political cronies. Incompetent pursuit of higher tech they are incapable of implementing, but get paid for anyway.

Whatever USA is producing is 4x times more advanced than that.

SU 35 is half the cost of F35, with better flight availability.

Assuming we take for granted that a fourth generation plane is better than F35s, keep in mind that USA alone has more than 500 of these and hundreds of F22

Missile technology of Russia is far (at least 5 years) ahead of US

Russia technology is overall 10 years behind of US

Drone technology is Russia, China, Ukraine only capable.

USA started using military drones more than 20 years ago.

I'm sure there's plenty of corruption and any cent spent on military and war is useless. by not acknowledging USA war assets i think you are downplaying how trillions of public money are being wasted.

Way ahead in missiles.

US still has crap that Ukraine has no use for. New generations test poorly.

Um... the Iran-pissrael war (2025)... was fought majorly with missiles...

But if you think missiles are useless in 2025, that's okay. Please convince the us military of that.
