Some thoughts on this-If a peace treaty is made, would Russia have to keep on producing military equipment after such a deal ?

In our reasoning: no. In their reasoning: yes. Whose reasoning is what decides this: ours - or theirs?

I could see a certain decrease in their production to fill up what they have lost in the war.
Could also be so that the production is being kept on a high rate even after the war are over.

Putin sees Russia at war with the West. All the West and all of NATO is hanging at Russia's throat, so his narrative. Russia is the victim of the West, the West is the attacker, so the narrative. Russia defended itself when invading Ukraine, so his narrative. Russia must reclaim what Putin thinks is its glory and fame that got lost by the betrayal of Gorbachev.
