More than six months of war in Ukraine have led to huge losses of manpower and military equipment of the terrorist state of Russia. By the end of this year, the Russian Federation will run out of shells for artillery and armored vehicles, there are also very few guided missiles, and the state of military aviation does not allow for a full-scale air campaign.
According to the Insider, due to Western sanctions, Russia cannot continue full-fledged industrial production of weapons and replenish supplies that are rapidly being depleted. It is noted that the Arsenal left in the Russian Federation since Soviet times was used up by two more Chechen wars and the fleeting Georgian campaign.
In 2014-2017, a large-scale campaign was conducted in the Russian Federation to restore shells. At the same time, the publication clarified that the rate of consumption of shells during the two Chechen wars was many times lower than during the current war, when they reach 40 000 – 60 000 shells of all types per day at high intensity of hostilities, decreasing to 24,000 per day during periods of very conditional "calm".
After making the necessary calculations and analyzing the current war in Ukraine, the publication concluded that over the past 6 months, Russia should have spent at least 7 million shells, not counting losses as a result of Ukrainian strikes on the invaders ' ammunition depots.
So, if the intensity of the war remains at the current level, Moscow will face a shell shortage by the end of 2022 and will have to reduce the use of artillery in order to save money, the article says.
In addition, the authors added that the expected "shell starvation" should coincide with a shortage of artillery pieces that become unusable on their own.
Recall: the representative of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Vadim Skibitsky said that in the war against Ukraine, Russia spent a large number of missiles (about 55%). The occupiers have a particularly difficult situation with high-precision Iskanders and calibres. According to the agency's calculations, the enemy still has no more than 45% of the missiles that were at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. According to Skibitsky, the Russians are likely to use less accurate missiles against our country.
As reported by OBOZREVATEL, the head of the Nikolaev regional military administration Vitaly Kim said that the Russian army faces problems with its missiles. Some of them do not reach the target and explode in the air.
Dude this time it’s really real. Really.
Putin has lost all of his Generals and Colonels...he’s lost his men, morale is terrible and his own people are against him.
Yet...the war goes on. Strange.
“That’s great news. Wooo hooo.”
But, only if Putin is gone or pulls back his troops from the military invasion of Ukraine.
And by the end of the year, Europe will be burning their dead to stay warm.
I highly doubt this little bit of propaganda. If there is one think Russians know how to manufacture it is artillery shells and heavy artillery pieces.
The quality of the lies is getting worse.
Next you will be telling us that Russia is running out of oil.
“The Russians will run further out of morale before they run out of equipment.”
The Russian population is sick of Putin: protests, families missing members forced into deployment or now in hiding from impressment by Russian military authorities. Returning soldiers tell of the life style & freedom of Ukrainian people.
Continue to pray for Ukraine to regain their freedom as a nation.
The only remaining question; Who is going to surrender first now that they are cornered, Putin or Trump?
Lol, I guess mid-March of this year is no longer the prediction.
“Yet...the war goes on.”
Not strange. ‘Lil Putin doesn’t care about suffering. He just meats his own people harder.
Meanwhile, china will be sitting on plenty of stock and the piles are growing rapidly.
"Quantity has a quality...something something...."
Ridiculous. Even hitler didn’t accomplish that. Zelensky certainly wont.
“Lol, I guess mid-March of this year is no longer the prediction.”
Correct. The Russian Invasion began on April 28, 2022
the state of military aviation does not allow for a full-scale air campaign.

Russian Air Force must be riddled with hanger queens ...
We sent over 805,000 155mm shells to Ukraine per an article yesterday.
Do you live in the USA or Europe? Does UMC stand for United Methodist Church? If so, that explains a lot.
Might want to buy a new calendar.
Correct. It’s all going to the Ukrainians. And you watch we will deplete our strategic resources of weapons that we ship to them and find ourselves in a bind when the shooting war starts with China.
We will find that we won’t have the necessary weapons to take on China because we sent them all to Ukraine.
That is the goal of the communal that runs the United Socialist states of America
“If there is one think Russians know how to manufacture it is artillery shells and heavy artillery pieces.”

** BTW, On June 8 2022, the Zagorsk Optical-Mechanical Plant experienced a fire, as part of recent unusual fires in Russia. Maybe, Russia’s Secret Anti-Putin Resistance Movement: RISING UP
They speak only in whispers, but growing numbers of Russians think their president has gone too far and will eventually be booted out of office.
