^ I am not surprised one bit.

Havent some people said that Russia would be incapable to do this ^ ?

If Western production sleeps on, we will have serious, very, very serious problems for which there will be no remedy: because when they become obvious to even the blindest man in the room, we will no longer have a precious resource: time.

Si vis pacem para bellum. As long as there is still time left. You hear that, you deaf, blind, dumb Europe?

Note that the Russian Ruble buys so much more commodities in Russia and so much more factory labour in Russia than the dollar or Euro buys in Western contexts. Dont get fooled by their "small" defence budget", you have to scale it to its economic context. And then all of a sudden it is very HUGE.


Even if they reactivated many old tanks this year, accounting for the high numbers this year, they nevertheless have massively boosted the prodfuciton of brandnew tanks, namely T-90 which is now given a priority, and the upgraded T-80BVM. These teeth will be felt by Ukraine next year and thereafter, since Russia boosts its production capacity even further.
