Russia is exhausting its “instruments of war”
- In addition, the British Ministry of Defense stated that Russia cannot produce an armored vehicle protection system due to sanctions. As noted in London, since the beginning of a large-scale war, the enemy has missed opportunities to increase stockpiles of weapons.
- During the year of a full-scale war, Russia used up a huge amount of human resources, weapons and materials. The head of the GUR, Kirill Budanov, suggests that the Kremlin will run out of “instruments of war” to achieve its military goals by the end of spring.
- This is critical for Russia, because on February 24, 2022, she actually lost half of her tank potential. By the way, in total our soldiers managed to destroy 3405 tanks.
- At the same time, not so long ago, “cotton” blossomed on the Kinburn Spit in the Nikolaev region. Natalya Gumenyuk, press secretary of OK “South”, commenting on this incident, assured that the Russians do not have enough long-range weapons.
