Russia Isn’t Going to Run Out of Missiles
Center for Strategic and International Studies [CSIS] ^ | June 28, 2023 | Ian Williams

.... Russia’s continued strike campaign in 2023 has made one thing quite clear: it is unrealistic to expect Russia to ever “run out” of missiles. Despite sanctions and export controls, it appears likely that Russia will be able to produce or otherwise acquire the long-range strike capacity necessary to inflict significant damage upon Ukraine’s people, economy, and military. Ukraine’s air defenses have performed remarkably well under challenging circumstances. Nevertheless, the Russian military has continued trying to identify gaps and seams to exploit to gain an advantage.

There is no one-off fix for this problem. Sanctions and export controls can, at most, limit the quantity and quality of strike assets Russia can acquire. The most reliable counter is sustained Western support for Ukrainian air defense forces for the duration of the conflict. The continued, steady provision of air defenses into the foreseeable future will save lives, reduce costs of future reconstruction, and help end the war more quickly by enabling Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the face of superior Russian airpower.

Take a look at this video. You will see civilians at the restaurant, and then guys in uniform arriving to help.

Exactly. Of course the doubting Thomas’s will never view the video, nor acknowledge what many non western sources know- 2 Ukie Generals, about 50 officers and a U.S. merc sprinkled in ( his tat shows ex 3rd Ranger)…and for the record- the Hotel housing soldiers and mercs was the target.

Funny was the Ukie explanation that the hotel was housing “ tourists “, I have a hard time believing Kramatorsk , in a war zone, had any “ tourists….so goes the Ukie lies.

It's not a matter of believing in this or that. It's just garbage, not many of them left anyway.

Good source you posted….you probably still believe Vlad has run out of Kinzals, rockets , glide bombs, thermobarics, ammo and artillery shells ….and has resorted to using entrenchment tools as weapons….. no matter video recordings show no less than two huge ammo rail shipments A DAY crossing over into Ukraine…..

Carry on war cheerleader, you are headed for one heck of a hangover….denial isn’t a River in Egypt.

More photos of two cute girls. I end up a funeral somewhere. Sorry Sparky, there has been too much propaganda for me to take this claim at face value. Look up the story of the little boy who cried wolf.… That’s you.
