The reality as most have learned since is it’s the West that’s far behind Russian, Chinese and Iranian expertise in a great many areas related to national defense, most importantly air defense and missile technology. Again, as most are aware, industrial and technological strength/expertise is the foundation for geopolitical power, and for many decades the West assumed it was well superior to Russia in those attributes. If the SMO has proven one thing, it’s proven Russia is well ahead of the West in many areas that make it along with China the most powerful geopolitical entitles on the planet. And to try and keep them within reach, the Outlaw US Empire has resorted to illegal sanctions to try and slow their technological advancement.
