The Kremlin wants to wage war in Ukraine at least 2027-2028-The Telegraph
"We are now in a scenario where Russia spends 40% of GDP on this war is more than health care and education," said an unnamed Western official. The assessment of the real scale of the transition of the Russian Federation to the military economy is complicated by the fact that information about the hostile defense industry is classified, and the Kremlin exceeds data for propaganda. However, experts agree that enemy MIC is dangerous and actively developing.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that last year the aggressor country produced 1530 tanks and 2518 combat armored vehicles. Minister Sergei Shoiga said the production of tanks increased by 560%and the APC - by 350%. The anonymous officials of the West informed that Russia plans to produce 2 million arts in a year. This is twice as much as the Western special services expected, it could make a full -scale war.
"Add to this supply of shells, missiles and drones from Iran and North Korea, and Russia will already restore the fire advantage that it had at the beginning of the war," journalists emphasized. The influence of the development of the Russian Security Service on the field of combat is "instant and obvious".
Artillery units try to suppress the guns of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with counter -banking fire, and the infantry do not have the necessary fire support in the conditions of Russian assault. The article states that Russia will hardly be able to produce enough weapons for a large offensive in 2024. However, the Kremlin's plans date back to the end of this year.
"They talk about the mobilization of their defense industry over the next three years, which means that they seek war for at least three to four years," the defense insider reported. The media noted that if the event does not work, Ukraine risks losing in the war. From the Russian Federation there are already alarming signals that in this case the Russian troops will go further. Western sanctions do not prevent Russia from producing weapons.
The aggressor country spends additional funds on each component, but supply continues. Moscow has converted almost all its electronics for military purposes to work with consumer components. This approach has proven to be very effective, as there are no sanctions for the purchase of general -purpose electronic components. However, the publication emphasized that it would be wrong to draw a "Russian military machine".
It also has problems - with a lack of skilled labor and low quality of spare parts. The Kremlin is leading a scale of such a scale that even the MIC of the Soviet Heritage cannot cope with. Many missiles produced in Russia do not meet the requirements because there are lacking qualified engineers in the country. In addition, despite the increase in production, hostile plants "barely have time for demand.
