Despite superior firepower, Russian forces have failed to fulfil their potential and face a dispiriting battle to regain the upper hand over Ukraine The Guardian: link

"The Russians have an efficient rail network optimised for the movement of combat equipment." Not really, as their standard rail wagon can't be used with pallets – which would be optimal. Druzhina Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers

Russian materiel is generally exceptionally well designed and adequately built Oh dear, I think someone needs to familiarise themselves with the lazerpig loop! On the specific example of the Orlan drone were the characteristics actually designed in or just happy accident? The carousel ammunition system in their tanks is definitely deigned in! Most of the rest is spot on.

You can have good equipment … but if you lack good leadership which seems they don't have at any level, poorly trained and motivated troops, marginal at best log support, etc. They should have stayed at home …

The carousel system in their tanks does not mean it is not exceptionally designed. But what it does mean is that the priority is not on crew survivability. YMMV on how important (or not) that actually is… Damon.
