Rob, your point's well taken. However, with Moscow increasing spending on defense, and the U.S. cutting defense spending, the qualitative gap is starting to close. And in some military categories, like armor, the Russians have a quantitative advantage.

My point is that the Russians aren't pushovers. 10-years ago, probably. Today, not really. 10 years from now, if these defense spending trends continue, even less so. I don't want the West to make the mistake of underestimating ta potential adversary.
