Not sure if this was posted here before. But basically bearings for Russian trains used exported parts that Russia doesn’t produce. Sanctions have cut those off so they’re having to take train cars out of service. It’s somewhat crazy that a country the size of Russia has so little in manufacturing capability. They can make conventional munitions by the ton but anything overly technical seems to be beyond their capabilities.

They became lazy and relied too much on exporting low refined natural resources. Canada does the same thing. While we unlikely to face sanctions like that, we would still be screwed if we got cutoff for some reason.
