Russia is going up against the combined might of Western industry. Left alone without infusion of Western-made components, their industry cannot even dream of coming close to match them. The Russian industry will be irreversibly damaged unless the West decide to help rebuild their industry after the war. I believe odds of it happening are slim to none for now. I think the West wants to make sure that Russia would never have the industrial capacity to wage another large conventional war against the West. We are more than half-way there.

LOL. How about Russia and China produce competencies in areas currently dominated by Western powers? It worked just great for them previously.
The article is a bunch of baloney.
The armament program is getting scrapped because it was geared towards “small hightech professional army” which is not going to work in current realities.
The US MIC is going to follow. If you think that the Russian industry is incapable, you need to do a research on how the American one operates. In current from it is not going to sustain a major war.
