Russia's ability to effectively wage war is now clearly visible on the front, where Ukrainian troops are reclaiming kilometer after kilometer . This is also evidenced by the use of Iranian drones by the aggressor country and mass terror.
The purchase of shahids from Iran indicates that the Russian defense industry is now having trouble producing enough new missiles, and those with which they have entered into a full-scale war are already drying up. The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, believes that now the number of missiles for many items has already fallen below the critical level, up to 30%. There are even fewer Iskanders left.
The situation in Russia
Russia cannot replace these missiles with its own forces, because many of their components are Western-made. However, despite common sense, despite the concept of security, according to which the Russians should leave a certain minimum of weapons for their own defense, the Kremlin continues to fire missiles at Ukraine.
The drones that Russia began to buy from Iran are not being produced at the same time. And those that have already been purchased are gradually drying up. Moreover, according to Budanov, Ukrainians consistently shoot down about 70% of all drones that the aggressor country launches against our state.
The Ukrainian defense industry is working to protect the skies from Russian attacks. Moreover, unlike the Russians, almost every Ukrainian helps the Ukrainian army. The volunteer movement in Ukraine is quite developed, and now not only ordinary citizens, but also businesses help. There are also many foundations. All of them help to eliminate the current problems of the defenders of Ukraine.
Don't forget about the help of the West and about weapons from Western partners.
At the end of spring everything will end
In addition to missiles, Russia is now constantly threatening nuclear weapons, but according to Budanov, this is more of a strategic deterrent. Theoretically, Russia can use these weapons in Ukraine, but this will only accelerate its disintegration. And this is known and understood in Russia.
Also, the aggressor country is trying to keep the Ukrainians in good shape with the actions of Belarus. However, at this stage of the war, the northern neighbor does not have the forces for a full-scale invasion. Russia is deploying its own personnel there, mostly with vehicles. That is, Budanov believes, this is just a picture, at least at this stage.
Russia's loss is inevitable, it can no longer be stopped, and it will lead to its destruction, – said Budanov.
Therefore, apparently, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine believes that by the end of the year Ukraine will have significant victories at the front. He predicts that the defenders of Ukraine will make significant progress, and by the end of spring – by summer everything should be completed, and our state will reach the borders of 1991.
