Tell me about Russian engineering, why is it superior to Germans?
Russians: explore space
Germans: make shitty Volkswagen cars that cheat emission tests and pollute the environment

Nice bait leaf
Germans engineer and build according to the documented requirements.
Russians engineer according to the basic needs of the end user and built with whatever is available.

The AK has undergone several revisions though.
And even then it was a complete copy of a German gun.

Russian has some great scientists and engineers, held down by corrupt system and incompetent leaders.

Soviet*.
Soviet engineering was a thing that followed a specific doctrine.
In Polish we describe as "gniotsa nie łamiotsa" which is a phonetic calc from russian "гнeтьcя нe лoмaтьcя" meaning roughly "bends but doesn't break" describing a very robust solution without any finesse that "gets the job done" and nothing beyond it.
Contemporary Russian engineering is no different to contemporary German or American engineering. It's all garbage built to fall apart beyond the ability to fix it. Rings especially true with modern German engineering. God it fucking sucks.
