It is reported that it has been more than a month since Putin announced the "partial mobilization" order in China, and the Russian frontline has not yet reached a turning point, and all parties continue to engage in a "tug-of-war". According to previous estimates, although the retirement recruitment method is adopted with a faster cycle, the Russian Ministry of Defense This time, the 300,000 recruitment operation will not be officially transformed into combat power until the end of the year. Soldier training is very important. At present, some soldiers have entered Ukraine in advance to participate in training. They urgently need troops to fill it and launch a counterattack against the Ukrainian army in the occupied area to gain the initiative.
At the same time, another big question that plagues Russia is: whether Russia's military industry can keep up with so many soldiers. Ukrainian statistics show that nearly 20,000 armored vehicles and tank were destroyed in the Russian army, which is very high even if the number is discounted. The most important thing is that due to the severe sanctions from the West, Russia's ability to produce weapons, ammunition and other military equipment has been greatly reduced. In particular, various high-end weapons and equipment such as T-90M main battle tanks rely heavily on Western electronic equipment and chips. Now that the United States requires "no military aid to Russia", it is also difficult for them to find other manufacturers.
24, Vice Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Conference Medvedev went to the famous Lar rolling stock factory and arrived at the tank production line for inspection. Currently, Western media are reporting on how serious the losses and weapons and equipment have been exhausted. In response, Medvedev announced: "Some people say that Russia's military equipment and weapons will be consumed soon, so don't expect too high; from tanks and artillery to high-precision missile and drones, the production of various types of weapons and special equipment is growing exponentially. Be cheered up!" He also issued a special order: strictly implement the goals of production contracts and accelerate production, and any problems may be held accountable, or even sentenced.
US media paid great attention to this inspection and believed that the Russian arms factory had actually entered a "wartime state" and could no longer expand its productivity. Some analysts also believe that Russia's production lines and heavy industrial equipment still follow the "legacy" of the Soviet era. Their artillery, armored vehicles, industrial engines and tanks have relatively excellent combat capabilities, and they can also produce self-produce energy to achieve a "closed manufacturing loop". But internal equipment is a big problem. Currently, the major export countries of the world's semiconductor have imposed an embargo on Russia. Russia can no longer obtain Western instruments and parts like before, and most of the attacked tanks cannot even be repaired and abandoned. This is considered a fundamental change, and Russian tanks may only be stopped in the "past" mode.
US TheDrive website also posted a sarcastic article saying, "I don't know whether Medvedev's implicit threat can solve the dilemma of Russia's defense industry supply chain, or have an impact on other aspects." The implication is that no matter how the senior official puts pressure, technical difficulties are a hurdle that cannot be overcome. There are comments on this: "Russia's semiconductor technology research is almost one era behind, and their tanks seem to be able to stop in the 1990s. The glorious era of military industry in the Soviet Union was gone forever; if Yeltsin and Putin had not "been too trusted in the West" at that time and developed their own semiconductor industry production technology alone, I believe Russia would not have reached the point that it is today."
