Russia likely stockpiled missiles to fight NATO
The New Voice of Ukraine via Yahoo ^ | November 19th, 2022 | Unattributed

This stockpile of cruise and ballistic missiles was likely used to deliver massive air strikes against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in recent months.

“They apparently have a withhold for a notional NATO attack, which we would regard as absurd, but they regard it as a real possibility,” Cancian said.

“So they’re holding back some part of their inventory for that.”

The report further suggests that Russia has built up a stockpile of microchips and other technological components for domestic missile production before invading Ukraine on Feb. 24. In October, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced a set of measures to ramp up output of missiles for use in the war against Ukraine.

Western "sources" have been saying since March that Russia would run out of precision weapons any day now. Even many here on FR.

I recommend they all hold their breath until that happens.

What an astonishing idea, that Russia might have prepared for this war ahead of time by building up weapons stockpiles and strategic materials. Who ever heard of such a thing. Certainly never occurred to anyone in Washington.

Regardless, how are things in Kherson today, Comrade Cranked? You said it would never be re-taken. Remember?

Western "sources" have been saying since March that Russia would run out of precision weapons any day now.

On 18 October, Politico reported that Russia is short of precision missiles. The key point is that Russia is always out of missiles.

““Simply put, for this strike, the orcs (Russians) took at least one Kh-55 from their ‘nuclear arsenal’, ‘unscrewed’ the nuclear warhead from this missile and replaced it with an empty ‘block’, and then fired it at Ukraine,” the experts said.”

Stupid people actually believe this.

They never bother to examine the abject absurdity of it.

“They apparently have a withhold for a notional NATO attack, which we would regard as absurd, but they regard it as a real possibility,”

Absurd? NATO is spending half a billion every day attacking Russia. We all know all of those defensive armored divisions could be made offensive weapons by telling the tank drivers where forward gear in the shifting pattern is.
