Yeah, to be honest considering that second tier troops / reservists could be equipped and organised a decade behind those of regular armies, its probably a non-issue. As would most of my opponents be unaware that the Russians are now wearing Ratnik instead of old Soviet stuff, or what a Bumerang is anyway. This setting's for a what if future war scenario regardless.
The Russians have become Neo-Soviets according to that article. Oops.
