So putin gives the money for 90 new tanks
his commander gives his subordinate enough money for 80 and pockets 10
his subordinates do the same
40 are made (using the money of 50( and are sent of to a holding yard
but the old versions of those tanks all need parts and the repair squadrons and manufactories are doing to same fucking thing
so instead of repairing old tanks, they replace them with new tanks, and put the old tanks in storage and say they have 40 fixed tanks which are actually broken messes they loot for more parts.
When putin asks if this holding yard has 90 tanks, the reserves officer inspecting this yard, seeing 40 broken tanks looted for parts, says yes sir mr president, 90 new tanks shiny and accounted for.,
And this is why everytime russia has said they have millions of something, weve gotten 100s of rustbuckets and untrained soldiers instead.
Its similar to a problem the US had in afghanistan, except there they still had the feudal concept of monopoly of knowledge, where if the professor teaches the student everything, the professor is now useless. So the US would teach commanders for new special forces, new engineers and tank commanders, etc, with the hope this would give knowledge to the new home army. And these people told ..... fucking no one and kept all the training to themselves. If they teach another sandnigger how to fix a tank they might get paid less and be less important.
It is my belief that the idea that whites are willing to share knowledge is the only reason the west functions as first world countries.
