  1. 1. Not really. And no russia is lagging behind. There is no 5th genertion fighter jet in russia. Russia have no CATOBAR aircraft carrier. Nor does it have the fine precision tools for making advanced weapons, as those German, American and Japanese capital goods that can cut metal down to a fraction of a millimeter and having multiple arms that can do it simultanously according to a 3D blueprint does not exist in russia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnIvhlKT7SY&t=39s Without those tools can russia not make more advanced components like for example glass for radar screens. And when you resort to plunder refridgerators for components for hundred million dollar jets, then of course will performance be sub-optimal. 2. Russia started their mobilization for war earlier and had a head start. Thats all. Saying russia have stronger industrial potential than the west is as dumb as saying nazi-Germany have stronger industrial potential than the allies because they outproduced them in 1936-1938. But it turned out that Germany had a problem with ramping up production much more... and when the political will finally came to go all in for a 100% war economy by 1943 it was already too late. The allies outproduced Germany with a wide margin. And the same will be true next year. The west will provide Ukraine with more artillery shells than russia have. And the western artillery shells will also have a much better quality. Russia can go all in into a war economy by 2025, but that will not change the tide - the free world will begin to outproduce russia with a wide margin. The wests main restraint is then political will to help Ukraine, and not production capacity. While dictator Putin lacks no will at all to fight this war, but the russian economy is weak and cannot pump out more gear to outproduce the west no matter how many workhours Putin demand by law from the russian people.
