I love this so much. I'd love to find one with sound. In the meantime I'm just watching this over and over humming the Rocky theme.

I mean, yeah, but that's wartime policy. Like, most countries are willing to take more risks and accept more costs if they consider is necessary to fight a war.

But as far as I know, doing this demo successfully isn't something that Russia needs for any kind of war purposes.

    It is very much needed for their war propaganda. They need to show the citizens and the world, that despite all the sanctions they are still able to achieve and match technological advancements of the west. The war fatigue is serious issue in Russia. But obviously they failed miserably and I love that the sanctions are actually putting them behind.
