    They barely get funding for proper war equipments, I’m not surprised this happened. (To be clear, not doubting the Russian scientists skills in any way or form here, only their founding)

    Edit: TIL, they’re hemorrhaging scientists like crazy, which doesn’t surprise me, just didn’t check beforehand

      I doubt them. Since the war I’ve met quite a few people in various fields that fled the country. Granted I’ve yet to meet a rocket scientist, but the brain drain seems very real.

        Well, didn’t they imprisoned some scientists because the anti drone missiles failed in the beginning of the year? I would certainly flee such a country.
