Russia is running out of missiles. This is clear from how they aren’t using missiles to strategically take out Ukrainian troops retaking the Donbas and Kherson.

Russia wasn’t running out of standard artillery. They were running out of PGMs (Precision Guided Munitions). Not that they didn’t have any more, but their stock, reliant on Western-made chips, was running low and Russia was reticent to expend them too quickly.

Of course, now Kyiv has come under heavy missile bombardment, as a punitive action for Ukraine having the audacity to fight back. Russia’s little hissy fit, targeting civilian infrastructure like museums, will accomplish exactly 0 military objectives and expend more of the PGMs Russia already doesn’t have enough of.

The missiles they had left were highly imprecise so could have landed on their own troops, hence the reliance on artillery instead. But even the imprecise missiles are running out, hence their paucity.

All of these failures are due to Putin’s and his oligarchs corruption, taking away money in the past 22 years of Putin’s dictatorship away from the military
