“high maintenance drama queen” … isn’t that true of a lot of western/american hardware ?

There appears to be a reliance on skilled engineers to keep the gear up and running in addition to the crew itself.
It makes me wonder how this would affect the army once logistics get problematic (like in a twilight 2k type of setting).

The Soviets otoh appear to have gear that can be maintained by the average farmer (and equally low requirements for crews).
Maybe not as effective on their own, but (theoretically) not such a drain on precious resources like skilled engineers.
