With an economy smaller than the state of Texas, Russia has built strategic weapons superior to many in the American arsenal. These include land as well as submarine-launched hypersonic weapons that can carry nuclear missiles past any American defense, as well as the world’s best air defense system, the S-500. The October 4, 2021, test of Russia’s submarine-launched “Zircon” hypersonic missile was the first-ever underwater firing of a low-altitude weapon that flies at nine times the speed of sound, according to Russian claims. A Russian sub lurking a hundred miles off the American coast could nuke Washington in a flat minute.

Russians have one of the best engineers in the world

Russia teaming up with China no good at all

Maybe. Maybe not.

So far their technology during the invasion of and war with Ukraine has be less than impressive.

With the largest land area of any nation, a population of 145 million, and a cornucopia of natural resources
the Russian economy is only comparable to that of Australia.
They have so far wasted three decades post-collapse of the SU.

Well, they're doing a terrible, stereotypically Russian, job of it so far.
