We've heard plenty of horror stories about how the Russian military has been hollowed out.
Fairly reliable reporting has shown how thousands of tanks and other fighting vehicles have been found to be in disrepair, less than fully operational, and in many cases, without vital components - like engines and transmissions - because the corruption in the Russian military is rife.
Task & Purpose
There was one story about the explosives that every infantryman in every army loves more than his mom. It was found that a significant percentage of the packages contained lumber - literally chunks of wood - 2x2s and inch-and-a-half dowels - wrapped in the standard brown craft paper, stamped with the official seals of the manufacturers and the whole bit. Wood.
And now this - the Explosive Reactive Armor - the stuff that should provide a little extra protection for the crew - is actually pieces of sponge rubber.
