Does the USA inspect it's missiles in the middle of nowhere?
- inglor_cz 4y agoIDK, but that is hardly relevant to the current situation. We aren't trying to one-up each other in a "who is worse" rhetoric content, but looking at the situation at the Russo-Ukrainian front. From what I get, Western stuff delivered to the Ukrainians is in working order, while the Russians shells seem to have a fairly high percentage of duds - usually an indicator of a fuse degraded by long and inadequate storage. And if shells frequently fail, so will other long stored equipment.

- tablespoon 4y ago> Maybe but those are big assumptions. Does the USA inspect it's missiles in the middle of nowhere? The US almost certainly does, but the Russians might not. They've been shown to have neglected routine maintenance in ways that caused very critical problems for their military (e.g. they lost a lot of expensive advanced vehicles, because their unmaintained knock-off tires disintegrated).
