Sanctions on Russia have crippled their ability to get modern chips for their war machine, so they have to rely on Soviet tech. They hurt Putin personally so much that he went and bought an entire Presidential campaign.
Well that part is true enough at least. Capitalist Russia naturally can’t innovate as much as Socialist/Soviet Russia could. Even its highly sophisticated public transport like in Moscow are stuff that the USSR built; they’d probably be filled with high-speed rail by now, like China is, if it wasn’t overthrown.
