Muutama siteeraus tuoreesta New York Times artikkelista:
"Before the war, one senior Western defense official said, Russia could make 100 tanks a year; now they are producing 200. Western officials also believe Russia is on track to manufacture two million artillery shells a year"

"Russia has managed to overcome sanctions and export controls imposed by the West to expand its missile production beyond prewar levels, according to U.S., European and Ukrainian officials,"

There are, however, long term issues of economic and political sustainability to keep in mind here

John Ridge kritisoi tätä artikkelia ryssän risteilyohjustuotannon osalta, lainaan ketjusta pari viestiä:
It is misleading to suggest this is a recent development. Russian cruise missile production has expanded dramatically from an average of 30 Kh-101s and Kalibrs between FEB and NOV 2022 to an average of 60 per month by MAY 2023.
This information has been in the public domain for 9+ months and it is deeply frustrating to see journalists acting like this is brand new information.
If NYT had bothered to research Russian cruise missile expenditure, they would know this isn’t possible. They expended ~200 CMs per month last winter. At absolute most, they are producing 100 per month currently. They are trying to make up the difference with Shahed-136s.

The Kh-55 hasn’t been manufactured in at least a decade. Presumably they are referring to the Kh-101, in which case this is still demonstrably false based on data published by the Ukrainian MoD.
Hän viittaa Kyiv Independent 28.8.2023 julkaisemaan dataan, jonka mukaan ryssällä olisi jäljellä ainakin 585 kpl risteilyohjuksia / ohjuksia jotka yltävät yli 500km päähän:
Russian forces possess around 270 Iskander ballistic and cruise missiles, 140 Kalibr cruise missiles, roughly 100 cruise missiles of Kh-101, Kh-555, and Kh-55 designs, and around 75 Kh-47M2 Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missiles, according to Skibitskyi.

MUOKKAUS: John Ridge on kirjoittanut aikaisemminkin ryssän risteilyohjustuotannon tilanteesta ja linkitti yllä jaetussa ketjussaan aikaisemman viestiketjunsa, joka on sekin lukemisen arvoinen. Sisältää viittaukset kulloistenkin arvioiden antajoihin, usein lähteenä Budanov tai GUR yleisemmin:
