Logistics destroyed: Russian super weapons Putin is proud of that became military tech disasters

According to the report, despite years of bold claims from Moscow about next-generation weaponry, many of Russia’s most publicized military projects have failed to meet expectations. From advanced tanks kept away from the front to warships sunk by drones, these high-profile systems reveal the widening gap between Russian military propaganda and battlefield performance. As Russia’s full‑scale invasion of Ukraine grinds on, the costs to its forces remain severe: hundreds of soldiers are reported killed each day, warplanes largely avoid the front line, armored vehicles are routinely destroyed, and the Black Sea Fleet has been pushed into remote ports.

The report also stated that in many sections of the front, Russia’s advances have relied heavily on high‑risk infantry assaults, troops moving on foot or using motorcycles and even scooters, supported by improvised logistics that at times involve donkeys. For the past 15 years, the Armata tank has been a flagship of Russian propaganda. It was hailed as the best in the world, printed on postage stamps, and slated for mass procurement of 2,300 units for the Russian army. In December 2021, the Russian state-owned defense conglomerate Rostec claimed that serial production had begun, and in 2024, officials announced that the tank had already entered service.

In addition to the report, Russia first unveiled its so-called fifth-generation Su-75 Checkmate light fighter jet in 2021 at the MAKS airshow and the Dubai Airshow, both times as a mockup. In the more than four years since, not much has changed. Russia further claims the Checkmate can detect and engage fifth-generation fighters at long ranges using onboard electronic warfare systems. But Russia currently lacks avionics capable of detecting F-35s or F-22s before those aircraft can launch air-to-air missiles at a Russian fighter.

Moreover, the range of US standard air-to-air missiles exceeds that of their Russian counterparts. Russian long-range missiles are effective only when supported by airborne early-warning aircraft such as the A-50. Russia has only about a dozen of those, several of which Ukraine has already destroyed or damaged.

Hello, it's clear that the perception of technological advancement in Russia doesn't match the reality on the battlefield. Many of its most publicized projects, such as the Armata tank or the Su-75 fighter jet, seem to fall far short of original expectations. Evidence shows that, instead of being invincible, these systems face serious practical problems and are often effectively countered by Ukrainian forces. Furthermore, the reliance on troops for high-risk attacks and improvised logistics reveals the fragility of its strategy on the ground. The promise of advanced technology hasn't translated into concrete advantages, and the reality is that Russia suffers considerable losses while its most sophisticated weapons systems remain limited or ineffective. This demonstrates that, despite the propaganda, in modern warfare, effectiveness on the battlefield is what truly matters, and in that respect, Russia clearly has much room for improvement.

Russia has been checkmated by Ukraine. Putin thought that he could outsmart the weapons and the capabilities of the Ukrainian troops.

It's crucial for the Russian troops to proceed to the battlefield. All their weapons were destroyed by the Ukrainian troops. They better surrender for a situation like this. Putin doesn't care, so wakeup Russian troops. You better assassinate Putin to restore peace in Russia.
