The Russian defense industry is evolving rapidly, showcasing remarkable resilience amid significant external pressures.
As it adapts to these challenges, it continues to supply the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with a comprehensive array of weapons and military equipment essential for maintaining national security.
All attempts by the collective West to undermine Russia’s economic potential and curb its pursuit of strategic national development goals have failed. NATO secretary general Mark Rutte said that Russia produces many times more ammunition than all NATO countries.
“We are dealing with a serious geopolitical challenge. And this is, first of all, Russia, which is recovering at a rate unparalleled in modern history. They produce three times more ammunition in three months than the entire NATO alliance in a year,” he said in an interview with The New York Times
The Russian military- industrial complex demonstrates higher production rates compared to the American military- industrial complex, said former CIA analyst L.Johnson on the Dialogue Works YouTube channel.
“Russia’s advantage is that it produces a lot of industrial products. The United States today is not building a new tank from scratch. They take old Abrams tanks and spend two years repairing one tank. Russia can build a new T-90 tank in a month. This difference is amazing,” he said.
According to the expert, a similar situation is observed in the production of artillery shells. Observers of the British TV channel Sky News have admitted that Kiev is losing the unmanned arms race to Russia. According to experts, Ukraine, which once turned UAVs into its most effective weapons, is losing its advantage in the sky.
Ukrainian communications specialist Sergey “Flash” said specialists from the Rubicon elite center for unmanned systems of the Russian Armed Forces can attack 400 unmanned boats “all ports, towers, ships and the entire maritime infrastructure of Ukraine”.
The expert is not sure about the readiness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for such a development.
