 I'm not talking about nukes.  I'm talking about rate of production of artillery, hypersonic missiles, submarine weapons, anti-satellite technology, etc.  Russia has been on a war footing for longer while the West just fed their old weaponry to Ukraine not feeling an immediate pressure to ramp up production in preparation for a world war. 
 You westerns overestimate russian industrial complex and its pity state. The reality is that it's kind of a walking dead.  The real issue is nukes, that is the only thing that prevents Russia from being fucked really hard.  
 It is better to overestimate your enemy than to underestimate 
 stay coherent  man are you overestimating or underestimating? 
 and how are you supporting these claims ?  any objective economic metrics?
