[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 1172355, member: 56767"] Asymmetric warfare comes in many guises. Aside from the obvious main one of conventional vs. guerrilla war, there are economics, politics and perhaps most ultimately, resilience to a rising body-bag count. The Russians can afford to have cheap equipment that can prove to be ineffective - as the state's tolerance for high casualties is not a new thing. Conversely, imagine if the (modern) UK had a few hundred soldiers killed because the reactive armour on the tanks was ********? Right now the USA are in a major crisis on deciding what to do because of 3 dead soldiers. Russia wouldn't even blink at that if it suited them, or conversely are well capable of starting a war if that suited them instead. [/QUOTE]
