Some Russian TOE is pretty darn impressive. Their rocket artillery for example. They really like rockets. Where they lack is the usual...traditional...Russian area of command control. That is, NCOs don't call artillery for the most part. It's a top down affair. Command has decided that the attack will follow a massive barrage...etc.

yes Russia does have an impressive TOE . It is and it keeps getting better, light years ahead of our stocks, but then again a lot of 3 rd world nations have better equipment than we do...They are very ridged with their plans, same as their use of aircraft no room for imagination or taking advantage of an enemies misfortune , if it is not in the plan it does not happen. 

There are complex reasons for it involving the sheer number of troops that can be fielded as well as things like language difficulties. Less that Russia doesn't trust NCOs. It's just easier. 

I recall in the last blast 'em up, these two were using mass batteries of Grads to play shoot and scoot. Fire a huge volley then run...try to catch the other guy off guard. These would be what activists call 'toy rockets' over Israel way...
