Downed Russian fighter jets are being found with basic GPS 'taped to the dashboards,' UK defense minister says
Russia is taping basic GPS devices to its fighter jets' dashboards, the UK's defense minister said. Ben Wallace said this was due to "the poor quality" of Russia's own navigation systems. Russia's military hardware, much of which appears outdated, is being tested as the invasion drags on.

No more than 1% of warforces used at ukronazi area. The pimary of operation is not allow ukronazi kill civilians or use em as a shield. Start thinking, if you still can.
That would be because the other 99% is broken and unusable. The rest of those lies are pure Pooty BS.
LOL. If a "true audit" were done, the auditors and the report would be "Putinized" and never seen or heard from again.
Yes, this is what happens in a kleptocracy. When you put "businessmen" in charge of everything with little or no oversight, they line their pockets and tell themselves what smart guys they are.
If a true audit was done on the Russian military procurement system over the past 20 years I would place a wager that less than 30% of the vast sums actually went to buying hardware to replace the cold war era equipment that has been on full display in this conflict.
