Bild: Russia's military economy is firing on all cylinders

December 5 2023 8

Russian troops fighting against the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not seem to experience a shortage of technology, ammunition and various other property. This was reported by the German publication Bild, which assessed what was happening in the SVO zone.

The publication notes that the Russian Armed Forces deployed another batch of BTR-82A armored personnel carriers on the territory of the DPR.

They were probably recently produced or refurbished in recent months. However, the Russian military economy works at full capacity and this applies not only to armored personnel carriers

- stated in the material.

T-90M tanks also began to appear more and more often and in ever greater numbers at the front. The Ukrainians consider them high-priority targets, so they try to attack them, including with their UAVs, at the first opportunity.

The increasingly frequent appearance of modern Russian military equipment indicates that Russian industry has completely restructured itself on a military footing. Before the conflict, the Russian defense industry produced a total of 130 BTR-82A units and 60 T-90M units per year. Today, according to experts, there may be twice as many of them

- specified in the article.

In addition, military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are concerned about the presence of a significant number of drones in the Russian Armed Forces. Russian companies produce 4-5 thousand different UAVs per month. This is significantly more than is produced on the territory of Ukraine. Therefore, Kyiv remains very dependent on donations and purchases from the West.

It can definitely be said that the Russian military economy is far ahead of the Ukrainian one and continues to increase its advantage at the end of the second year of hostilities. Anyone who believes that the supply of just over 100 modern Western tanks will be enough to stop Putin's army is seriously underestimating Russia

- summed up the media.

“Build” has gone off the rails: they haven’t started anything in Russia yet!

How wretched they are, they don’t even know how to listen or read. They were told at the beginning of the year that the Russian defense industry would produce more than 1500 tanks by the end of 2023, of which at least half would be the new T-90M, and the other half the modernized T-72B3 and T-80BMW. And this is not counting the modernization of the old T-62 and T-55, which I effectively use as maneuverable and well-protected artillery, thanks to the rifled barrel.

  Promising does not mean getting married. In reality, it turns out that by the end of the year there will be about 250, which is approximately half as many as those lost at the front

  The T-62 has a smoothbore gun of 115mm caliber, as it can be used effectively as a self-propelled gun with a maximum range of 10 - 15 km, while the three axes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit 40 km with a 155mm caliber. And yes, the box is strong and holds fragments during shelling.

Exactly so, because they are afraid of ruining the economy.
An important factor turned out to be the work of the WHOLE economy, not just the military one.

Well, they're lying again! Our defense industry produces many times more military equipment and ammunition, and this is just the beginning! There will be more to come! Yes, and S. Korea should quickly build about ten factories on our territory to produce long-range artillery weapons. installations and ammunition for them! Yes, and something tells me that at first Koreans will work at these factories, and they know how to work!

  This is a national disgrace. Where does the information come from?
