Intelligence GB, Russian leadership knows that military production is a critical weakness
Russia’s industrial military production is a critical weakness, and the Moscow leadership is aware of this. British intelligence writes about it, in the daily report provided on the situation on the field disclosed by the Ministry of Defense in London.
Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev called for an increase in Russian tank production on February 9, during a visit to the Omsk Transport Machine-Building Plant. President Putin did several public comments to urge the defense industry to better support the “special military operation”.
“In a televised meeting on January 12 – it continues – Putin criticized Denis Manturov, the deputy prime minister in charge of the defense industry, for “joking”; it was one of the strongest moments of outburst and criticism of the president since the invasion. Russia’s top leaders are probably aware that the state’s military-industrial production is becoming a critical weakness, exacerbated by the strategic and operational miscalculation of the invasion of Ukraine.” “Production almost certainly falls short of the Russian Defense Ministry’s demands to fuel the Ukrainian countryside and restore long-term defense requirements,” he concludes.
