In WW2, (me just parroting random armchair historians), apparently Germany had some technologies that were superior on some technical details you could write on paper, but had some costs/issues wehraboos ignore, and the USSR could mass produce things like tanks that were simpler/good enough/practical.
I imagine history having itself a rhyme.
We're seeing the same thing happening in Ukraine today as well. All the wunderwaffe from the west failed spectacularly, while Russia's ability to produce basic things like mass artillery shells is winning the war.
