According to Global Times reasons, foreign media reports, a high-intensity military confrontation lasted for more than 9 months is rapidly consuming weapons inventory between Russia and Ukraine. There are news from Western media that Russia's weapons are about to be exhausted from time to time. Before it was confirmed, Ukraine has confirmed that it has encountered an ammunition crisis. It is obvious that this game is no longer limited to the conflict on the front battlefield between Russia and Ukraine, but has also expanded to the confrontation between Russia and the entire Western military-industrial system. The key is that whoever has a stronger "family foundation" will be able to persevere until the end.
According to the analysis of Western and Ukrainian military experts, the reasons why Russia's inventory of weapons is about to be exhausted mainly include three points.
One, the Russian army dared not and could not exhaust its precise ammunition inventory. During the Russian special military operation, the Russian army took the opportunity to verify its advanced precision-guided weapon system, including the "Dagger" air-launched hypersonic missile. It is reported that the Russian army used "dagger" to successfully destroy Ukraine's arsenal in the early stages of the war, becoming the world's first hypersonic weapon system to be used in actual combat. However, in subsequent operations, the frequency of Russian troops using precision-guided weapons was significantly reduced. The most important reason was that Russia had to retain a certain inventory to deal with the force deterrence of NATO countries.
Secondly, the Russian army's crackdown on Ukraine's rear energy facilities is declining. According to Ukraine, the Russian army's speed of using missile was declining rapidly. Throughout October, the Russian army launched a total of 15 "caliber" cruise missiles. Of course, an important reason cannot be ruled out, that is, there are few energy facilities that can operate normally in Ukraine, which has led to a significant reduction in the attack intensity of the Russian army.
Third, Russia began to seek help from foreign players. It is reported that Tehran has agreed to provide Ukraine with two ballistic missiles , which is unimaginable before the war begins. Unless otherwise absolutely necessary, the arrogant Russians are unwilling to ask others for weapons systems.
Objectively speaking, the judgment of Western countries and Ukraine is not nonsense. The high-intensity consumption of more than 9 months has been in general countries, even traditional developed countries such as Germany, France and the United Kingdom, their weapons inventory has long been exhausted. Russia's strength lies in the fact that it inherited the huge weapon inventory of the Soviet era, otherwise Russia would not have the confidence to consume with the Western industrial system. But the existing evidence shows that Russia is indeed not easy, but Ukraine will only be even more difficult. At the beginning of the war, Ukraine's military-industrial system was completely scrapped in the first wave of the Russian army, and there was little weapon inventory left. The reason why it can last until now is mainly due to the ammunition supply from the United States and European countries.
But the problem is that when the war comes to this point, the United States does not have the ability to produce large quantities of ammunition, and the ammunition database stored in European countries during the Soviet period has also been exhausted. Since February, the United States has sent 90,000 tons of ammunition to Kiev , with the number of shells alone reaching 1 million. Even so, some of the Ukrainian ammunition depots have been destroyed by the Russian army's precisely guided weapons. Coupled with the huge consumption when launching a large counterattack, Kiev's weapons inventory has basically bottomed out. The more serious problem is that after November, Western countries have significantly reduced their military aid to Ukraine. For Kiev, this is obviously a bad sign.
Under this premise, it is unlikely that both Russia and Ukraine will launch a large-scale attack before the supply of weapons systems is restored. But from another perspective, whoever has more weapons and ammunition at present can gain an absolute advantage in war with the advantages of the weapon system. Nowadays, the advantages of Moscow in this regard have become increasingly obvious. After all, at critical moments, it depends on who has a stronger "family foundation".
