No problem. However, I don't know what I'm talking about any more then the next guy. I've lived in US for a while now, so maybe things have changed, but i don't think they have. In popular media (after USSR collapse, but before Putin clamped down on media) there was a common trope of people stationed in military bases selling off military equipment. It was a common joke. And seeing how bad and unmaintained the Russian equipment was in the beginning of the invasion (and still is), I'm sure that trope is still accurate.

Heck, I've heard stories of reactive armor not working on Russian tanks, because instead of being filled with explosives, they're filled with sand, or air. I know that it's not ok to have sympathy on the internet, but I can't imagine what my life would have been like if I still lived there. I'm the perfect age to appear in "Drone drops grenade on a Russian invader" video.

That "mutiny" was very disappointing...
