interesting....as I understand, the Soviet military was designed for 10 day war +/- hence ships, tanks, truck and aircraft engines were capable full power for 10 days and then died

They were designed to be rugged, and easily maintained in austere conditions.

Sure, their aircraft are crude by our standards but their aircraft are rough field capable and can be maintained with simple tools.

Our aircraft on the other hand need permanent fixed bases with climate controlled shelters near a beach (or major population center) with a well manicured golf course, and require special tools that can’t be found at the local True Value down the street.
