Is there any information on Russian production of artillery, tanks, ammunition?
We know that Iran sold Russia some drones. Are the Russians buying and importing a lot of replacement equipment and ammunition?

It doesn’t seem that Russia could sustain these losses that much longer.

Russia by its own admission can only build 300 tanks a year, no where near attrition rates.

Worse, they can no longer make modern sights and sensors for those tanks, having relied on Western parts for them.

Russia claims its is ramping up missile and shell production, but that is just a claim. Like tanks that required Western parts to be fully modern, both missiles and self propelled artillery require modern parts - in so far as the meed for Western parts is not met, some production lines can not operate.

Beyond that, Russia has demanded factories and corporations create battalions from their work forces to be sent to the front. Instant labor shortages. Cannot be replaced, loss of tax revenue, circular firing squads, typical socialist solutions, spiral to the bottom.
