It's more than a big if. Russia rehabs/replaces both liquid and solid fuel at a central location and this should happen on a regular basis. We learned in 2022 how personnel pocket the money meant to maintain even tires on military vehicles.


The Chinese had a series of rocket failures that they traced back to excessive corrosion. Turns out that during the normal fueling and defueling cycles they would sometimes just substitute water for liquid fuel

Several generals in their space force were executed for corruption.

No freaking telling what happens in the Russian version of that business.

Water replaced liquid hydrogen but these are their oldest and less than 5% of their rockets. Russia is something on the order of 40% hydrogen fueled instead of solid fuel
