I wouldn't blame Russia for stupidly refusing to upgrade to newer technologies. Russia has its faults to be sure, but I'd sooner blame all the "freedom-loving"

I wouldn't blame Russia for stupidly refusing to upgrade to newer technologies. Russia has its faults to be sure, but I'd sooner blame all the "freedom-loving" general aviation enthusiasts in America: you know, the people who refuse to give up carburetors and leaded gasoline in their 1940s-era airplanes?
