Russian production of missiles and ammunition is thriving even in the face of Western sanctions, with military manufacturing outpacing even pre-war levels in the country, The New York Times reported this week.
Western officials worry an increased stockpile of Russian artillery could mean an exceptionally dark and cold winter for Ukraine if Russia ramps up its attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure in Kyiv and beyond, according to the outlet.

How many troops have the Russians mobilized to Ukraine? How many troops does the Ukrainians have left?
Who would have thought that an industrialized nation with immense energy deposits, minerals, and educated people could produce weapons? Crazy!
That is some %#&@ gas station.
Even The New York Times are spreading Russian Propaganda now. \s
Well, to be fair, Europe cannot afford to house and feed millions of illegal immigrants while at the time produce armaments.
Which is yet another reason why the US needs to get out of NATO. Europe has made its choice. Now let them either live with it, or fix it. It’s not 1945 anymore. It’s no longer our circus.
I consistently hear Putin has 300,000+ in reserve and is increasing that number rapidly. 1.2 million at ready is the goal. Given the WWIII razor’s edge we’re sitting on, that is the very minimum I’d expect.
Russia, in fact, is now producing more ammunition than the US and Europe, with one senior Estonian defense ministry official telling The Times that Russia’s current production is seven times that of the West.

Very true.
They are ignorant, illiterate peasants. This is the land of Tolstoy and Pushkin and Pastarnak and Dostoevsky and Tchaikowsky and Rimsky Korsikov and Ladau and Sakharov and Abrikosov and Ginzburg.
Leading idiots like that.
I don’t follow him. Has he sad anything about what Putin is giving North Korea in exchange for the artillery munitions?
But we have the Littoral Combat Ship! That’s got to count for something ...
And if the US’s existence was at stake, I am sure we could make a few 155mm shells.
Russia has their ass against the wall. That will cause a country to prioritize explosives over cars or clothes or food.
Waving a flag and yelling “look at us…we are so screwed” is not even good propaganda.
And where are those troops going to go?
In Ukraine? Into Poland? Georgia?
I love how the Russians are preparing to nuke people, invade people, and blow stuff up. And then they claim they are the victims.
300,000 drunk, borscht smelling, mental defectives are not taking over anything.
If you’re an indication of an American male, it should be a cakewalk.
the west is mfging ammunition? who knew???
No way.....the woke office employers and employees in the West are geniuses at industrial production.(sarcasm, while laughing my ass off)
“300,000 drunk, borscht smelling, mental defectives are not taking over anything.”
Berlin rises to a point of order.... lol!
Any 30-30 Winchester?
I dunno if Putin is able to mobilize that many men. This isn't the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union. The demographics of modern day Russia are pretty dire.
But it might be enough for them to hold our in a war of attrition in Ukraine.
