According to GUR representative, the Russians still have a shortage of ammunition of 500 thousand shells a year. It is covered with Belarus, DPRK and Iran. Russia has reached production of 2 million shells a year in 122 mm calibers and 152 mm. However, there is a shortage of ammunition they cover through the DPRK and other countries. This was reported by the Deputy Chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense Major General Vadim Skibitsky in Podcast "(not) safe country.

" According to the scout, the Russian Federation fulfilled a defense order, which was delivered to the defense-industrial complex for 2023. "They came out for 2 million ammunition, which they can produce on their own for a year. It means 122 mm and 152 mm artillery ammunition," Vadim Skibitsky said. However, he added that during 2023 the Russian Federation had a shortage of shells. Initially, Moscow bought ammunition in Belarus, Iran and now in the DPRK.

Obtaining 500,000 ammunition from different countries allowed the Russian Federation to implement the Ministry of Defense for fighting. However, in the future, the expansion of ammunition has a number of problems. "The first is production facilities. In order to build the necessary machines, equipment is appropriate. The second is prepared personnel. Specialists who are able to produce not only ammunition but also other high -precision weapons. The third is components: gunpowder, blast.

Or the Russian Federation or they need to be bought in other countries, "the officer said. According to Ukrainian intelligence, a deficit of 500 thousand ammunition per year will remain with the occupiers. In the issue of production of shells in Ukraine, it all depends on Western partners. For more than a year, Ramstein's meeting was discussed when the need to increase production by partner countries was discussed. The European defense is increasing the ability, but gradually.
