quite true

to give the USSR credit ....the one thing they did well back then was to build tanks quicker than the nazis --- they've lost that today ,
so many imported components , and the shortage of workers all over ......russian manufacturing in general now compared to the rest of the world not what it was back then*
nor are the tanks as good compared to their adversaries .....these turret poppers are a joke !

russia has thrown so much equipment in this war because of huge stockpiles ....despite what the pro russ say , these ARE finite
particularly artillery ....getting short .....and Ukraine know this and are particularly working on counter battery fire as a priority above all else
to exacerbate that

* the one exception I must note is artillery shells
