The Russian Federation does not produce enough ammunition for war: what the Kremlin hopes - the media
The situation in the Russian military-industrial complex and the prospects for the continuation of the war was written on the portal of the Reuters Information Agency. Agency journalists spoke with an unnamed official from a western country. The official explained that the Russian industry could not cover the military needs of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
In particular, it is not able to produce the right amount of shells, as well as release new weapons or repair/restore damaged equipment. The reason for the situation in the Russian Federation is the consequences of sanctions that have been co -authored by the world's invasion of Ukraine, - the interlocutor of journalists is convinced. For example, due to sanctions, factories do not have access to the western components.
The official wondered what further fees could have the Kremlin, if all the means for war. The anonymous official explained that the Russian authorities have a simple plan - to continue the fighting with existing living force and equipment until there is any results. "We do not believe that Russia has a significant plan, except for the continuation of hostilities in anticipation that the amount of Russian live power and equipment will eventually affect it [on the situation on the front - ed. ].
" It should be noted that at the beginning of the fall of 2023 Western intelligence reported that Russia had agreed with North Korea on the supply of shells for artillery. Subsequently, it became known that the front came from 1 to 2. 5 million shells produced in the DPRK. The Russian military complained about the quality of the municipal set: they published the photos of the mud guns, torn during the shot.
Meanwhile, in 2024, publications appeared in the media to continue the weapons deficit in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. For example, in January, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that the enemy army lacked 500 thousand shells. Meanwhile, in February, Roszma estimated that 3 million shells would be required for the full occupation of Ukraine.
We would like to remind you that for almost half a year, they do not make a decision to allocate $ 60 billion that could be used to send shells for artillery. At the same time, the Western media spoke with 20 Ukrainian fighters, who said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had an advantage at the front in all types of weapons and in the charges.
