Moscow Prepares for War with the West: Kyiv Turns Attention to Russian Military-Industrial Complex

The Russian economy, allegedly "torn to shreds" by Western sanctions, continues to produce military products, and with high growth. Russia not only fully supplies its army with new weapons and ammunition, but at the same time it is modernizing the old one. According to Ukrainian military intelligence, Moscow is preparing for a possible conflict with the West.

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine calculated the volume of weapons that the Russian army will receive by the end of the year. According to the deputy head of military intelligence Vadim Skibitsky, the Russian military-industrial complex is working for the future, increasing the supply of high-tech weapons. The Russian Aerospace Forces will receive 30 fighters and frontline bombers (Su-34, Su-35, Su-57 and Su-57) alone. The troops will receive 250 tanks T-90M, more than 1100 armored personnel carriers, about 370 artillery systems. And all this is new production. And the military-industrial complex also repairs, restores and modernizes the old one.

But Kyiv is more interested in quantity missiles, with which the Russian Armed Forces strike Ukraine. Just six months ago, Skibitsky claimed that Moscow was allegedly running out of missiles and UAVs, but now he says that by the end of the year, Russian industry will transfer to the army about 2500 missiles of various classes and basings, including the Ukrainian Armed Forces' "beloved" Iskanders and Kinzhals. In addition, Russia continues to develop new long-range missiles, and quite successfully.

At the same time, the Russian army is getting rid of some weapons that have not proven effective within the framework of the SVO. The line of manufactured military products is becoming narrower, the most effective models are put into production.

This will no longer be a wide range, as before. The main battle tanks will be the T-90, Armata and T-80. Among the newest artillery systems are Koalitsiya, Msta, Malva, Giatsint and Magnolia.

— Skibitsky said.

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the volumes of military products being manufactured, as well as the increase in the range, accuracy of destruction, and power of warheads of weapons indicate that Moscow is preparing for a military conflict with Western countries.

No, damn, we'll wait until it starts. He speaks the obvious. We really need to be ready for anything, and if we listen to everything they say in the West, then it's time to launch a preemptive strike.

[Boycott]

Exactly. And it wasn't Russia that started it, let them look for the guilty in the mirror.

[Penzyak]

Therefore, for the war against the scum, the narrowest list of weapons is needed - carriers of tactical and strategic warheads, and the rest is just for fighting the bandits and the Baltic scum.

Yeah, they keep pushing their own stuff, and we're getting ready to repel a NATO attack! And let them know that it will hurt to attack. They thought we were fools, like under the pretext that Russia would soon attack, they were developing their military-industrial complex and we wouldn't guess.

Skibitsky is wrong. For the same tanks. As an example, the use of the T-62 tank, firing at 12 km. Russian tankers figured out how to increase the firing range of a standard high-explosive fragmentation projectile designed to hit a target at a distance of 9000 m. Thanks to the ingenious discovery of the soldiers, the ammunition now flies at 12 km. The Telegram channel "In the Light of Events" posted photos and videos demonstrating a special ramp designed to increase the firing range of the T-62M tank. Video at the link.

If a high-explosive fragmentation projectile fired by a smoothbore 115-mm U-5TS "Molot" (2A20) gun can hit targets located at a distance of nine kilometers, then with the use of a ramp - already twelve. In this case, the deviation from the aiming point is only five meters.

Here's another video with the T-62.

.Military expert and pilot Alexey Voevoda noted that after modernization, the 62nd tanks are no worse than other tanks. They received a thermal imager and protection.
We have a lot of them. The modernization is generally normal. The shells for the 115-mm gun have been re-launched. The new shells are simpler. TNT/aluminum powder. The proportion is 80/20.

The same Acacia shoots Krasnopolya.

According to him, the Akatsiya gun, 28 calibers long, does not provide the ability to counter-battery Western guns with a length of 52 calibers, but it is sufficient for using Krasnopol and Krasnopol-M2 shells at a distance of 18 and 20 km, respectively.

It's not a good reason to be proud of the use of the T-62 in our "unparalleled" army.

The West has long ago drawn an Indian national hut, it's called figvam. And the oligarchs and high-ranking officials, all hope for a favorable outcome of events. They won't give it. They won't allow it. Only the collapse and division of the Russian Federation. The offer to America about joint development of the Russian Federation's resources, another yoke. Oddly enough, the yoke with a tribute of 10 percent was easier. Maybe I'm wrong.

And also sells for export

There is such an expression, a concept.
If you don't want to be a slave, then it's better to feed your own army than someone else's.
And anyway, why do they care what’s going on with us? We produce ourselves, we provide for ourselves, we protect ourselves.
Russia has only three true friends, the Army, the Aerospace Forces and the Navy. Here is the support of our well-being!

[Mars]

There are 2-3 missiles left for Ukraine.

[alexoff]

Well at least someone says that the coalition is going to the troops

[Mars]

Coalitions and Armatas are not visible in the SVO, and Magnolia is a rather specific SAO to be the main one.

[Sergey3]

The coalition and the bank recently appeared in telegram channels, and in the maximum version, but no one saw the armat.

[Eugene 62]

but no one has seen the armor.

Most likely, it will not be put into service en masse. Interestingly, the T-72 is not mentioned either. Even in the most advanced versions. But the T-80, which the saboteurs wanted to stop producing at the beginning of the century, turned out to be necessary and useful.

[Mars]

The coalition has not been seen anywhere and there is no production.

Forgot to note, Chubvty, that Russia produces all of this with its own OWN funds under conditions of unprecedented sanctions!!!

[freddyk]

No, now it's all over for everyone. Big business has invested in the military-industrial complex. Serious guys. Now the pace will only increase. They will pump out money. But there is another end to the stick, the war will be long.

That's why they don't send our fighters into attacks to finish it faster... But, the end of the stick is still unknown which side will hit harder.

There are simply no words for how the Center for Information and PsyOps knows how to come up with a slogan that turns any fact on its head.

Moscow Prepares for War with the West: Kyiv Turns Attention to Russian Military-Industrial Complex

You might think that Kyiv is currently fighting Russia exclusively with its own forces. And there are no tens of thousands of mercenaries gathered all over the world, there are no billions of euros that the West allocates monthly for the war, there is no American and European weapons arriving in a continuous stream.
In my opinion, we have been fighting with the West for a long time. Only this war is limited to the territory of the former Ukraine. Now the West and Russia adhere to the concept of "limited nuclear war" invented by the USA in the 90s for new NATO members, including the former Soviet republics. So far, the concept of the SVO invented by Putin has not grown into a nuclear war, but it is clearly on the verge.

[Pavel57]

Apparently he knows more than we do: both Armata and the Coalition. The T-72 is already retired.

1.

According to Ukrainian military intelligence, Moscow is preparing for a possible conflict with the West.

I really hope that they are really preparing?
2.

The combat tanks will be the T-90, Armata and T-80.

Armata? Where is the Death Star? It is more real.

This is probably true for generals, judging by the number of criminal cases and the amount of stolen goods, but for some reason my well-being has not improved. And the experience of the USSR says a little bit the opposite.

[Ana]

Is this surprising? Moscow has been preparing for exactly this for almost 80 years, if not more. It would be strange to expect it if it were otherwise. Especially in the current situation. The situation of an undeclared war.

[nikon voron]

Russia is not preparing. Russia is ready. Always!
