I can hardly wait for Russia to finish building the AK-47 manufacturing facility in Venezuela…

I think the list misrepresents reality. U.S. weapon systems cost far more money than Russian equipment. When it comes to gross tonnage or sheer number of weapons and support systems, the U.S., France, Italy, Germany, and the U.K. are not even in the same solar system compared to Russia, China and the Ukraine. Ever look at a grendadier in the middle east, africa, or asia. Ever look at a guerrilla in any of those regions? AKM (ak 47 is old model they stopped producing them in late 50’s) T55, T54, MIG’s, YAK’s, RPG-7’s are everywhere. No one likes weapons from the west; too expensive, require a brain to operate and the support costs are outrageous.

This list is the shame of listverse - but I leave it on as a reminder of what NOT to do when writing future lists

Well, it’s technically as good as any other list, minus the details and awesome pictures. It’s just… to the point.
