#2 Fortunately, Soviet era equptment tends to be on the rugged side, and relatively simple to maintain.

Given what I've seen over here, maintenance outside of the depot is non-extant. These guys just run it untill it breaks. Still, they will manage just fine anyway. Maybe even better than they did under sadam. I hope so.
