The Russians do have the advantage in material sciences but in what other sense are they 'smarter,' specifically?

And they don't have the cultural problems the Chinese do with fraud and lying.
They definitely have a massive problem with corruption and in general a gangster-esque approach to business. The Chinese development across numerous areas has been more even, partly because they cleared out the landowning class during Mao's era, which made certain aspects of development easier. In comparison, India, which has seen similar growth rates since liberalization in 1991, still has uneven growth between states due to the stronger class of landowners, who have directed development more.

They’ll be partners, but the Chinese aren’t going to eclipse them.
The Russian demographic crisis doesn't portend anything but a future where they are a client state, albeit an extremely large one. They don't have the vision of the Chinese, instead trying to recreate a world which can never exist again.

ISW Update Oct 30th
quote:
Key Key Takeaways:
Western intelligence officials reportedly stated that North Korean troops are in an unspecified area in occupied Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky highlighted enhanced Ukraine-South Korea cooperation amid since-retracted reports that South Korea would consider providing direct military assistance to Ukraine.
The Kremlin is reportedly struggling to prepare for the September 2026 Russian State Duma elections campaign due to uncertainty about the course of the war in Ukraine, suggesting that the Kremlin is not confident that Russia will be able to win the war over the next two years.
The Kremlin simultaneously continues to militarize various levels of Russian government, likely in preparation for long-term war efforts in Ukraine and confrontation against NATO despite the reported lack of preparation for the Duma elections.
The US Treasury and State departments sanctioned nearly 400 entities and individuals from over a dozen countries on October 30 in one of the largest concerted efforts to address Russian sanctions evasions via third parties to date.
Ukrainian forces recently regained positions near Pokrovsk.
Russian forces recently advanced in Kursk Oblast and near Kreminna, Chassis Yar, Pokrovsk, and Kurakhove.
Russian occupation authorities continue to advertise Russian military service to civilians in occupied Ukraine.

"North Korea has sent three generals and at least 500 officers to Russia, and about 12,000 DPRK soldiers are already training at five training grounds of the Eastern Military District of the Russian Armed Forces." - Kyslytsya said.
Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN, Sergiy Kyslytsya, even named the names and positions of the officers at the Security Council meeting and emphasized that sending DPRK troops to support the war against Ukraine is a gross violation of international law and the UN Charter.
It is expected that the number of DPRK soldiers deployed from the Primorsky Krai of the Russian Federation will reach 4,500 in the near future, and in November they will begin to take direct part in hostilities against the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

We asked Poland to protect at least Stryi, where our gas storage facilities are located. Are the Poles shooting down missiles? No, — Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"We really wanted to get the MiG from Poland, but they couldn't give it to us because they didn't have enough of their own. That's why we agreed with NATO that they would assign them a police mission, like our Baltic friends. We agreed on this And what after that? Did Poland give us another reason? Yes," said Zelenskyy at the press conference.

South Korea reveals what the DPRK may ask the Kremlin in exchange for military aid
According to South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, in exchange for troops, the DPRK is likely to demand from Russia the transfer of technologies related to tactical nuclear weapons, the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles, reconnaissance satellites and nuclear submarines.

russia at the UN described the reports of sending DPRK troops to fight in Ukraine as "disinformation."
russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Nebenzia, noted that such information is allegedly being spread in order to "justify NATO's decision to send its troops" to help Kyiv.
He also said that russia does not violate international law, as the cooperation is not directed against a third country.

So you are admitting your previous posts were bald faced lies???
Grasp of the English language not your strong suit eh? By the way, what is a bald face?
Personal attacks aside, it does not change the fact ukraine has won, or rather cargo pants, since his objective was to become filthy rich. I dont know why some on here persist in thinking ukraine would ever win this war that they started, it was never the objective.

You included the “truly” adverb. That implies the other “gaining momentum” claims were bullshite. Just a possible explanation from a native English speaker bystander.

A bald-faced lie is a statement that is so obviously false that it seems to lack the intent to deceive, but is actually a lie. The term "bald-faced" comes from the idea of a face without hair, and by the mid-1700s it could also mean "unconcealed," "shameless," and "impudent".

Given the sheer development of Chinese industry, it isn't as though where they are now is meaningful in terms of where they will be. Which is true of several states who had non-existent internal defense complexes at the turn of the century which are now much more robust. Again, the intrinsic factors, such as drive, vision, and the most important extrinsic factor, money, are on the side of the Chinese.

Thank you sir. I will pay for your next drink.
If someone comes here on regular basis trumpeting Russian break throughs month after month and then comes in and says now we TRULY have momentum what else could they mean, right?

So he really did flee to a CIA bunker in Poland in 2022 like you said, and this guy is just a body double?
Or maybe he's using an AI hologram from his vineyard in Tuscany?
It's hard to follow the lies and misinformation when they change so rapidly. You guys move to money laundering and villas before I could even process the Super Soldiers and BioLabs

From the Holodeck of TNG Enterprise. Which begs the question, "Why hasn't he photon bombed or phasered the Kremlin?"
