The UK backed it up this Saturday Russia is “running out of ammunition” to continue large-scale operations in Ukraine, ten months after the invasion of that country began.
This is the main conclusion of the latest report from the intelligence service of the british ministry of defence, who argues that although the mobilization of thousands of reservists since October has allowed the Kremlin to solve its military personnel problems, the “shortage of ammunition” continues to “limit” its offensives.
“Russia has probably limited its long-range missile strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure to about once a week. due to the limited availability of cruise missiles”, indicated in this sense the summary of the report uploaded on the Twitter account of the Defense Portfolio.
“Alike, Russia is unlikely to have increased its artillery ammunition reserves sufficient to permit large-scale offensive operations,” the text added on the war that began on February 24.
“One vulnerability of Russia’s current operational design is this even simply maintaining defensive operations along its extensive front line requires a significant daily expenditure of shells and rockets,” pointed.
