If you count artillery units or tank units Russia and China are not small. One Russian tank costs the same as 20 German ones. In a real war price is what counts

One Russian tank costs the same as 20 German ones. In a real war price is what counts. That's one reason why Europe and the US cannot win the Ukraine war. Everything is just too damn expensive. It's not a military show or a bunch of sandal terrorists anymore. It's real.
- dmurray 3y ago> One Russian tank costs the same as 20 German ones. Wait, what? Are the Russian tanks better, or is Russian manufacturing so inefficient they cost 20x more? Or should this be the other way round.
- secondcoming 3y ago> One Russian tank costs the same as 20 German ones I assume you got that the wrong way around! Tanks are regularly exploding in Ukraine due to being hit by cheap drones.
- corethree 3y agoLet me spell it: out every military is small compared to the one where spending is equivalent to all of them combined. It's just there's a lot of patriotism on HN if I say such inventions are useless for only a single military it's viewed as an attack.
- iammjm 3y ago>One Russian tank costs the same as 20 German ones. That's just not true. Not sure what tanks are you referencing, but let's take the "flagships" Russian T-90 and a German Leopard 2, which are in a similar category and have similar capabilities. Their basics models both cost roughly the same. > That's one reason why Europe and the US cannot win the Ukraine war. We'll we've been fighting this war for over 2 years now. You don't always need a tank to destroy an another tank. To destroy a 5 mln $ tank you could also use a 500$ drone with an RPG round rigged to it.
