Missiles, drones, shells and tanks: Russia is facing serious production difficulties
The military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation is not capable of producing such a quantity of weapons that would allow the occupiers to seize Ukrainian territories. However, Moscow took up the task of “cleaning out” tank and ammunition depots. Welt publication writes about this.
As for drones, Russia is increasing production of Shahed-136 attack drones. At the same time, Moscow cannot increase missile production volumes due to the presence of Western components there.
“If we take a closer look at the four key areas of arms, the situation is much less rosy – and at the same time far from the hopes of the Ukrainians and their Western partners,” the publication writes.
According to ORYX portal analysts, the Russian army has already lost 8,400 armored vehicles in Ukraine. This number included 2.9 thousand tanks and 5.5 thousand armored personnel carriers.
In total, before the full-scale invasion, the Russians had about 10 thousand units of this type of. As of the beginning of 2024, it became known from satellite images that the Russian Federation has another 40% of tanks at its training grounds. They will be restored and sent to the front in Ukraine. The pace is estimated at up to 1,600 units per year. Also, the Russians can produce up to 200 armored vehicles per year.
According to calculations by Johann Michel and Michael Jerstad from the British International Institute for Strategic Studies, stocks of old equipment in the Russian Federation will decrease to zero within two to three years.
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that the Russian Federation can produce about 230 units of certain types of missiles per month. 130 of them have a range of more than 350 km, another 100 have a shorter range.
Recently, the Russian Minister of Industry stated that in 2025 the Russian Federation intends to produce 5 thousand attack drones of the Shahed-136 type. Their occupiers use them daily to attack Ukrainian cities. At the same time, the overall target for drone production that year is 11 thousand units.
On average, in 2023, the Russians released 8 drones per day across Ukraine.
In 2024, Russian industry is capable of producing 2.1 million shells. Welt notes that Moscow can also count on Soviet reserves, as well as supplies from its partners. The main suppliers are Belarus and North Korea.
