Skybird, Sorry for second pilot and welcome to the club (( When our AF started to become looking more or less an AF again after 90-s and 00-s, number of flights raised instantly while technical maintenance wasn't ready and as a result - a phenomenon called "самолётопад" ( a planefall) which took place in early 10-s. Another example of this way of household is a late-Soviet agricultural sector - machinery was supplied to MTS's (Machine-Tractor Stations or Repair Tractor Stations) according to 5-year plan and these supplies were usually fullfilled, but that was not true for the spare-parts supplies plan. Of course some basic details could be produced at MTS's with local equipment but with growing sophisitication of agro-machinery list of these details was shortening. So it led to spares-cannibalism, and in some cases it was easier not to repair a machine (which is needed only 1 time a year in most cases) and to wait for next supply of machinery which can be of the next generation. In lots of cases this led to aggregates were left right by the sides of the field where they were broken so our rural landscapes in late 80-s - early 90-s aquired look of post-War of Giant Robots kind of landscape ;-) and it remained that way until late 90's - early 00's.
