Where are you getting this info? MiG-29 hasn't been an important part of the VVS or VKS for the better part of the last 20 years. Su-27, Su-30, & Su-35 cost about as much to make due to twin engine, so Ru AF favored Flankers since the 1990s. MiG-29 has been shot down every time it faced a Western fighter or Su-27.

Demand for advanced US weaponry has never been higher. The major foreign military sales programs are backordered due to high demand. Fighters, missiles, air defense, UAVs, precision munitions, cruise missiles, FLIR, armor, transports, ASW platforms, net-centric systems, ships, submarines, vehicles, and small arms are all in extreme high demand all over the world.

@murphy7801 Centrally-planned economy was extremely inefficient and relied on foreign specialists to come in and solve their problems. Especially in petroleum engineering, construction engineering, and aerospace engineering.

 @enterthevoidIi Russia started with strategic encirclement of Ukraine, and lost almost all of those footholds after initial success in Kharkiv and Mariupol.

 @enterthevoidIi The US is actually saving money by shipping outdated weapons there that don't have to be de-militarized. The de-miling process is expensive and complicated.

 @jasic40 You're talking about Medicare, not DoD. DoD has so many oversight bodies scrutinizing it, while Medicare Plan A gets used as a slush fund for embezzlers.

 @bobeyes3284 JB has been a Soviet asset since they paid for and helped rig his Senate campaign in 1972.

@RustyShackleford-s2o The only President who sent weapons to Ukraine prior to Feb 2022 was DJT. All the others actively worked to disarm Ukraine or ignore their requests for help since the 1990s. Obama and Biden were helping the Russians all along. Do an image search for "Senator Obama inspects Ukrainian artillery munitions". He was there overseeing removal/destruction of Ukrainian Army conventional munitions even as a Senator.

 @chloeholmes4641 McCarthy was right. It was even worse though, as the FBI had been filled with Soviet assets and moles, and the OSS and later CIA were packed with hundreds of double agents.

 @FreeRojava2025 He was a linguist, if you're talking about Shoigu.

 @Gliese380 And those European countries are extremely weak militarily as well.

@markjackson6026 Peter the great made the Russian Orthodox Church a functionary of the state already in 1721. Under the Soviets, they used it as a domestic spying agency just like you said, after killing off 85% of Russian Orthodox priests and burning down most of the churches. The famous St. Peter's church complex right adjacent to Red Square was scheduled for destruction at least 3 times during USSR, but the heads of Russian Orthodox Church begged to preserve it.
