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

these ppl are jokes. imagine believing these ridiculous numbers. a dozen T-14s and 5 Su-57s?! thats lower than the figures reported in western media. i would bet that russia has a few hundred T-14s at least. their aircraft fleet is dwarfed by the US’s, but the tank forces are a lot closer in size. if western reporting regarding Russian losses in Ukraine is to be believed, Russia has abt half the tanks as the US. but these reports are unsubstantiated and attribute the numbers of recent matériel losses to “independent sources”. assuming western media is talking out of its ass, Russia and US have similar numbers of tanks
T-14 and other vehicles based on it are kind of a meme due to persistent problems with their production, but Su-57 has already entered mass production.
By Russia’s own reporting, they had not managed to deliver 40 production T-14s by the end of 2022, citing the need for further testing and difficulties with manufacture.
If the Russian Army does have hundreds of T-14s, there’s not really any reason to keep them secret, and I think we would would have seen footage of them in combat by now.
thats 2022, military manufacturing in general has skyrocketed since then in Russia to keep up with their shell consumption. they have plenty of reason to hide them. why waste these top tier tanks on Ukraine when they are easily holding their defensive lines?
Shell manufacturing and electronics and vehicle manufacturing are two very different things and the former can be scaled much more quickly and easily than the latter.
