Because of corporate greed. 90k for a bag of bolts btw.
i said did neither of that… but go on, continue your little crusader adventure our :) local SJW hero :)
eh what? We have free public health care…
ZSU 57, T54, IS4, IS6, MIG 17 with S 21, IL 28 and then Il 28s with S24,Kamovs, Tunguska, Mig 27, S1, KH 38, PT 76 57, 2S38, autoloader, ERA, spalling, R27ER, LMUR, Obj 292, shturm
Well at least its get done and build right? Not like some eastern country where few people steal government money for whole assembly plant…
I don’t know where this information came from; it’s possible that this was a coincidence. But the point is completely different.
Its from a bag of bushings from a House Armed Services Committee hearing
Okay, thanks for the source. It’s actually quite funny. But still, it doesn’t change the fact that Western machines are generally more expensive, mainly due to the technology used. And these are, and will continue to be, incidents of the “free market.”
Again, equivalent tech is found in the East for lower prices.
Yes, you’re right, the corruption that plagued the USSR is still around, but post 2000’s it has significantly declined, in Russia at least.
Okay, you can believe it, but the facts are different :)
well sure :D If have to choose between lada or VW i will pay more for VW :) guess why…
i love how russians and people loving russia are so eager to lie to them self…
Nice shilling for Russian equipment, here’s reality.
Spalling, ERA are on all tech trees.
Autoloader is inferior to Abrams, Merkava, and Ariete reloading.
R-27ER means nothing. It was a minor powercreep in response to AIM-7F/M/P being vastly superior to AIM-7E-2s, Super 530Ds, etc at the time. People are quick to forget that only Japan, China, and USA had long-range BVR options at the time. Germany and USSR were shafted.
LMUR & JAGM are in most tech trees.
Many tech trees have ERA, and ERA has never been OP.
CAS has been OP among many tech trees.
Kamovs stopped being OP over 3 years ago.
IL-28 doesn’t have CCIP to use S-24s accurately.
IS-4, IS-6, Mig-17, ZSU-57, IL-28, Tunguska, S1, Shturm, and Object 292 have never been OP.
PT-76-57 & BMPT are mistakes similar to EBR, Puma, and allegedly R3 T20 at minimum.
You even claim everyone you’ve responded to [Non-Russians and people that love NATO] are all honest against your posts.
Edit added some context.
Poor example.
I don’t ‘love’ any nation except my own. If you call dismissing propagandic claims, and laying out the facts ‘lies’, then perhaps you’re the problem
Its not about belief, its about facts, yes, and the facts state that the West overpays.
Russian facts :)
I didn’t know that the Russians made it so that the USAF had to pay 90k for a bag of bolts…
since you have no clue about aviation or any relevant information about that bag of bolts of yours all i have to do is “believe” in russian propaganda :) which is lame and i wont buy it :) or maybe you think 90K rubles… well thats not rly a lot of money you know?
Is this Russian Propaganda to you?
because you and your russian propaganda cannot make difference between super high standart bushings vs bolt…
Again you have no clue about aviation, just like the representative or Russians propagandists…
do you have a better one?
