What Ever Happened to Russia’s ‘Wonder Weapons?’

Russia has announced various new high-tech weapons over the past five years.

The weapons included a mecha, a fifth-generation fighter jet, a new tank, a robotic fighting vehicle, and a hypersonic missile.

Only one of those weapons has made an appearance in the war in Ukraine so far.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is in trouble. Eight months into the war, Russian forces have been forced out of half of the territory conquered in the spring. Moscow is in the embarrassing position of being on the defensive in a war of its own creation.

They built one of each as proof their military is modern.

There is a saying:  the Russian army is large and modern, but the part that is modern is not large and the part that is large is not modern.

Still waiting for the first T-14 sighting.
