Yeah, if Russia needs one 1st stage booster for every bird they kill, and SpaceX needs one 1st stage booster for every 50 they put up.... Yes, Russia is bigger than SpaceX, but that's a tremendous ratio.
Plus the asymmetry is even worse than that.... Elon can use that *same* first stage booster to launch *another* 50 next week, while the Russians need to get a *new* booster for shooting down the next bird. That's the *real* game changer in what SpaceX is doing....
