It is not a case of tried-and-failed.  It is a case of
corruption and buereaucracy run amok, to the the degree of
state treason.  The Russian army lacks such basic things as
cable and field telephones, camouflage networks, and even
boxes for MG belts.  Volunteers develop, produce, and supply
all those, in direly insufficient quantities however...

Normal civil users wouldn't need them either, but who cares?
They used to say about the classic free market that demand
determined supply.  Now supply determines demand, because
the suppliers manipulate the consumers.
