Why is it that Russians are great at building military hardware, but can't apply the same expertise in making cars that can compete with Japanese, European, and American manufacturers?

>great at building military hardware
Their north coast is a massive naval graveyard

Probably a legacy from Soviet years. Soviets only cared about things doing their purpose, they didn't give a fuck about aesthetics. Hence commie-blocks.

>Why is it that Russians are great at building military hardware
If they were, then they wouldn't have to buy French Mistrals. The Soviet Union was good at building military hardware, modern Russia has only two types of weapons: outdated Cold War shit and foreign equipment.

top fucking kek

If we start to make high quality cars about 5k people would lose their jobs. The whole purpose of lada is to give useless bydlo who can only screw something with a screwdriver a place to work. Their tried to do it 2008 but people started to protest and their stopped it

>toothpaste pretends that he knows anything about military

Centrally planned economy

What about phones?

So why can't I buy a cheap Lada car for Swedish use?
All made in China anyway, making them isn't very hard or expensive.

All manufacturing are in china anyway. We have yota phone but they fucked up the pricing and it failed.
What obstacles prevent you from buying it rn?

Nice meme they aren't good at military hardware

Will probably need to do a lot of paperwork for registration, but it's odd that no company does it.

Well, you need an infrastructure for these type of cars. They break often and it's basically diy. Moreover after taxes a car will cost about the same as used golf in good condition.

BATTLE OF THE TOOTHPASTE

t. quarter eaten cake

So, is there anything that the Chinese don't manufacture?

Doesn't seem like Abdul's shady repair shop would care. Couldn't you buy a used lada?
Cars for export, even though there are plenty of domestic cars that they'll put on whatever brand name you want.

Russians by definition can't build something which makes people happy.

They can only build stuff which has the purpose to kill people and spread chaos and destruction. Russia does the bare minimum to survive physically. Not more and not less. If other nations wouldn't exist and pressure Russia into evolving and competing it would simply go back to a state of nature and idleness. It is a black hole and an anti-civilization. That's why it collapses every damn century. Russia lacks the component which all of humanity has: the drive to arrive somewhere and achieve something. Communism was nothing but the crazy attempt to reduce the rest of humanity to the state of idleness which is normal for Russia.

probably they are being bullied in american market

And making cars is actually difficult.
Now making reliable quality cars only toyota.
