Russian pilots ordered to use less brakes due to shortage of parts from sanctions

Russian airline pilots have been told to go easy on their aircrafts' brakes to save them from wear and tear amid a shortage of spare parts due to Western sanctions.
Internal memos from four Russian airlines have given the instructions as officials fear that the existing fleet of Western-made jets will only last about five years before being depleted.
Russian airlines are desperately scrabbling for alternative plans to manage their aircraft, overwhelmingly manufactured by Toulouse-based Airbus and Virginia-based Boeing, before commercial air travel in Russia effectively comes to a halt.
It is estimated that by the end of summer Russian airlines will have to start cannibalising relatively healthy jets for spare parts.
S7 Airlines have advised their pilots to use reverse engine thrust instead of their brakes and avoid autobrake mode if the runway is long enough, the Aviatorshina Telegram channel reported.
Pilots should also avoid going hard on brakes in order to speed up the landing process to make way for other planes.

Ok...
Now the dopey gaslighting misinfo/disinfo is starting to get even dopier.
What next?

I really thought using reverse thrust to brake was pretty standard across the world. I've never seen an airliner land at MSY without using it.

you need brakes for more than just landing, baw

...as long as they're braking less

Yes to a point. Brakes are also used to take an earlier taxiway so as to clear the runway faster. This allows closer spacing of landings. The plane behind can’t be past the go around point until the plane ahead has cleared the runway.

I'm sure one of the OT Top Guns will correct me but I had to look up the braking system for fighter jets, pretty cool:

Less brakeage on Russian-made planes. I'm sure there will be no accidents

reverse thrust is most effective while the airplane is still close to touchdown speed and becomes less effective as the airplane decelerates, it's a pretty standard requirement to be at reverse idle by no later than 60knots, rarely is reverse thrust being used by that point after landing

The Russian planes are probably made of steel and will handle a few crashes so frick it

Meh if runway is long enough the reverse thrust will do just fine.

But do you wait to apply the brakes until 60 knots or are you on the brakes while the reverse thruster is deployed?

In Soviet Russia, plane brakes you.

usually not using both at the same time but runway length/conditions would dictate that, on short or contaminated runways, possibly
ETA: typically I'm coming up on the brakes as I'm coming out of reverse because I have a particular exit in mind
