I agree that the russian advantage is "big"

- big territory
- big rockets
- big wars

"big" does not need much sophistication, typically, and tends to be exhausting for all sides

another phrase for "big" is "strategic depth"

it is interesting that Afghanistan was not taken down by "big" from all sides

Afghanistan's advantage is "tough" or "very tough" or "very extremely tough", in any case does not need sophistication. Odd that each time events do not go Russia or USA way in Afghanistan, some locals end up receiving a cache of shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, which be more sophisticated than AK47 and the RPG - coincidences am sure, to do w/ levelling the playing field I suppose
