it is nonsense TJ, weak excuses.

poor roads, long supply lines, and the cold winter storms won Russia wars, not their army which quickly retreated in confronting invaders. The RED Army succumbed quite quickly to the Romanian army in WWII,( not exactly a world class well equipped army at the time and even now) as an example, the too fast advance poor muddy roads and unexpected long supply lines brought the advance to a crawl.

Romanians have the guts to fight and it is proven over history when the Romans Legions where defeated near the town I was born. They split Atilla the Hun armies when attacking what is now Romania and therefore we have now Hungary and Finland

Little ancient history will help you understand why the big migrations from central Asia into Europe brought about the fall of Rome.
bottom line besides bravado and ego trips such weaponry is unneeded as no one in his right mind would like to re-occupy lands that they left 1,500 or more years ago

My point is if A has a sophisticated useless gadget the in response B develops same or better resulting that both sides will never use it and waste a lot of money just to prove they have one and can produce many for mutual destruction.

Pointless efforts and huge waste of resources - like the recent Bezos trip to 80 KM above earth for 10 minutes - no economic overall benefits just rich people sticking it to the poor.

All those funds could have been used for more practical and useful purposes
