Fire an arrow at an enemy with a crossbow
The enemy: spitting blood "lol that's so outdated techn...." die
That's not the point, it's more like
Sure, you could get lucky and hit a gap in the armour, but what you're doing is wildly inefficient. As stated in the article, a bunch of the north korean missiles are detonating before reaching their targets, and they're also very inaccurate. Just like in the arrow/armour analogy, it's not like they're useless and can't cause harm, it's that they're wildly ineffective compared to modern missiles.
More importantly, the point is the state of russian (+ allies) manufacturing capabilities. If they were capable of fielding enough modern weapons, they wouldn't be using outdated and inefficient ones. Sure, you can arm modern soldiers with swords and crossbows, and they can probably kill people with them. However, you're going to choose firearms and grenades 10/10 times if you can.
