@singlemaltgirl The Russian space program is a holdover from the USSR. Their current capabilities are more limited, and they've depleted stocks of weapons systems against Ukraine.

Like Turkey Iran has produced their own drones. They've also been allied with Russia in the mideast. Think Syria.

US and European states will continue to provide weapons to bolster Ukraine's defenses. Although, if, as is likely, the GOP retakes the House in the next elections this may become more problematic.

@Coctaanatis you know, i think many of us (by this i mean me) still think 🇷🇺 as the superpower of the ussr. but i keep hearing that their logistics, ability to deploy, their tech, their military capability is not that great.

which to me, if it's true, is a good thing. i want ukraine to fucking crush them.

iran is a pos. but then, so are many countries in the west so i know it's complicated. but they could have just stayed the fuck out & pretended allyship, no?

sigh.

thx for the insight :)
