You've just said that there's a mode that the Russian Federation can just get into, that will allow it, a country with 144mln population, to gain an upper hand in a hypothetical war against the EU, a union of 447mln people, while having inferiority in all kinds of technology, from practically non-existent semiconductor manufacturing to inferior metalworking, thanks to which Russian howitzers have 8-10 km smaller effective range than European ones.

The high-speed "Sapsan" trains from Moscow to St. Petersburg are German, not the other way around. The cranes they used to build the Crimea bridge were Dutch, not the other way around. The optics they were putting in their newest tanks was French, not the other way around. But of course, all these guys need to take over Europe is just "mobilization", whatever that means. With multiple times less people and inferior technology. Right.

You are either seriously misguided or just trolling.

I have never said they can beat the west. I only highlight that once upon a time, Russia was producing like 1300 t34s a month. A true centrally planned wartime economy is really something else entirely when its applied to a continental power like Russia or the United States.
