Corruption?

Cheaper to bribe an official to pass a safety check on a bridge than to actually make it safe.

There's a nice video about corruption in the Russian army prior to the Ukraine war and why it's so corrosive (basically a small amount lost to corruption causes much more damage downstream, not having fuel in your tanks for your invasion of Kyiv costs millions of times more more than the fuel cost itself)
