Is Russia now a military weapons cargo cult?

I.e reliant on maintaining the technology from the USSR, rather than able to manufacture new weapons?

Gif unrelated. It's just the most /k/ bug of all time.

    I realize that its the hip new reddit phrase and it feels good to use things youve learned in conversation in order to seem more informed, but that's not what a cargo cult is.

      I know. Tribes on islands thought modern military logistics were some kind of magic, thus forming cults that emulated World War II Logistics.

        They thought building the effigies as tribute would cause the cargo to return. It had nothing to do with logistics at all. It was all about the free shit there were able to scrounge or be gifted vanishing.
        Anyone claiming it was about logistics might as well claim it was about the internal combustion engine as they are both equally wrong answers.

    They still do create new tech albeit it is copied from other countries or licensed
    Like lancet which is Israeli drone
    That being said the majority of soviet tech was also copied from the west so

    a more fitting description would be the Adeptus Mechanicus

      Except the Admech manages to mass produce and maintain equipment and vehicles for the whole imperium, all while fielding its own military force. They have the knowledge and the means to invent, they just actively suppress attempts to do so. Russia is pretty much the opposite.

    More like they were a military weapons cargo cult, now they are a full blown death cult.

      Because it turns out that being able to do a flamethrower impression is a pretty handy way to avoid getting eaten, so the pre-Bombardier Beetles that could do that at least a little bit survived more often than the ones that couldn't.
