True they do have a lot more solders spread out all over Russia being supported by local taxes.. But Russia only has the budget to properly equip a small percentage of their enlisted men.. And we have seen that the 100,000 to 150,000 troops sent into Ukraine who would have been given the best equipment have had problems with their equipment and lack of sufficient logistic support..
So while Russia has a lot more troops,, they do not have the resources to have them all equipped with all the gadgets of war and they certainly do not have the logistics system to support them all on the field of battle on an enemies territory..
