Yes, indeed. How many times have the proud been laid low? We've talked about this troubling phenomenon, and the potency of the Soviet military at its zenith (both IRL and, hypothetically, in the v1.0 T2K timeline), quite a bit already.

I'm not suggesting that these recent purchases/reforms are going to make the Russian military competetive with the west (in the short-term, at least), but they are making an effort. The rest of the world can dismiss and deride it at their peril.
