Despite Western efforts to undermine Russia's industrial and military output, the country is only increasing its investment into arms production, allocating a record portion of its 2024 federal budget for military needs.

As Russia switches into a war economy mode, "a large part or part of what is newly produced no longer goes to the front, but ends up in warehouses," Pistorius said on air of the ARD program Maischberger.

The minister warned against thinking that Russian President Vladimir Putin is stockpiling weapons only "out of caution." Instead, the Kremlin's chief may have other "plans" in mind, Pistorius added.

Russia's arms production has put Ukraine at a disadvantage on the battlefield, allowing Russian troops to outshoot Ukrainian defenders 10 to one in some areas.

"We still haven't seen where is Russia's breaking point,'" Mark Riisik, a deputy director in the policy planning department of Estonia's Defense Ministry, told The Guardian.

"It's (Russian arms production) a lot higher than we expected, really," he added.

Ukraine has struggled to keep up with Russia in this regard, as the Ukrainian and allied military production capacities often lag behind the Russian ones.

CNN reported in March that Russia makes three times the number of artillery shells that Washington or the EU can provide to Kyiv.

While the West appears to be picking up the pace and aiming to increase its production, it may take a year or more before the efforts bring fruit.

Let's assume that's 100% true

Which part of my statement above was substantively "wrong," exactly?

Haha yeah haha

cuz they sure as shit aren’t building any new tanks, IFVs, APCs, MRAPs, jets, helicopters, or SPHs

their ship production is absolutely insane I’ll give you that

Fake news, stop spreading this retarded Kremlin propaganda.

In reality, Russia just ran out of ammo for the 25th time. It's over, wait two weeks.

In artillery production it’s even scarier. The Russians are delivering 18 MSTA SPGs and 6 Koalition SPGs per month. 300 SPGs per year. US production is quite literally at zero. Zero SPGs in the middle of WW3.

But just like there has been no full mobilization in Russia so too is industry going not fully utilized. Many of the factories are still humming at only 1 shift a day. Russian production of things like new jets is still basically at peace time levels. The Sukhoi factories are still at 1 shift a day. Everyone goes home at 5pm.

1. Russia is a gas station with nukes

2. Russia's conventional military equipment is old and clapped out

3. Any new military hardware Russia claims to have is untested vaporware in limited production

4. Russians are too dependent on western technology to do anything like run a CNC machine or program a IR camera or whatevs.

The idea was that we would bleed their military dry and leave them totally at are mercy for the next century or two. We thought they were gonna run out of ammo by winter of 2022 at the very latest.

It's amazing that Ukrainemos will mock and scorn you -- literally call you a "lying retard" -- if you dare to remember and point out the many different occasions over the last two years on which MSM outlets breathlessly reported that Russia was alllllllllllllmost out of ammo, trust us we know these things we wouldn't lie to you:

https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5294580&mc=229&forum_id=2 (NB: I stopped updating this long ago, I'm sure there have been many more articles detailing the imminent collapse of Russia's ammo supplies since I last bothered to add anything ITT)

"Stop believing your own lying antisemitic eyes, you stupid goys! That's a dumb strawman, nobody in the media actually ever claimed that, you just made it up!"

it’s your claim that it was “free” and had no economic cost which is hilarious

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5521879&forum_id=2#47613638)

In retrospect, have you said anything that we should be laughing at, do you think, Juan?

Or naw, you stand by it all -- it was as brilliant and prescient and astute as always, things are going great for Ukraine just wait two more weeks!

I watched them scale that up by essentially making it clear to an entire generation of kids that you can escape to a comfy lifestyle in Pyongyang if you get good at making missiles. That's it. Every kid competes to make missiles or be like everyone else. That's all it takes for a society to produce competent engineers. You don't need a lot of money.

In Russia they had to keep a warm base going out of practical necessity, because that's what the workforce was trained to do in the first place. It doesn't make sense to teach an old dog new tricks. If you have to subsidize factories to keep people employed when times are tight, you're gonna subsidize factories that do all this old fashioned shit our workers can't do. Also they teach math over there. People actually know how to do math.
