Great explanation. Thanks!

But don’t expect the Putinistas to understand it. Or care.

Well said, and yes, corruption should have an impact on ANY decisions on the defense side of the house. Witness the 'missing' suitcase nukes out of Ukraine back at the 'fall of the iron curtain'... They are still 'unaccounted' for, but most think they were sold into the middle east/third world by those same kleptocrats. Today, it's the fake parts on aircraft in Russia, China, and other places due to corruption in manufacturing and certification. And yes, they are called Chinesium parts... sigh
