Will Russians continue to buy Migun-5 PRO drones on AliExpress and will China dare to work with Russia militarily?

Analysts of the Institute for the Study of War in the context of the Chinese leader's visit to Moscow write that this visit is not what Putin had hoped for.

What are the prospects for military cooperation between these two countries, military expert Pavlo Narozhnyi told on the air of the telethon "Edyny Novyny".

"Russians use not only Migun-5 PRO, but also DJI. There was a report that all DJI drones that were bought through AliExpress by Russia were blocked by the manufacturer. That is, now it does not look like these commercial drones will be used on a massive scale. Regarding the military cooperation. The main Russian pain is artillery ammunition. They started a large-scale invasion when they had in their warehouses 12-14 million artillery shells of various calibers, brands and years of manufacture. They fired about 50 thousand per day. The same barrage of fire tactics when they just burning everything in their path. That barrage of fire they worked from March to August. Then that 50,000 dropped to 15,000 a day. Doing the math, we get a figure of about 8 million that were shot down.That is, they burned most of the artillery," says the expert.

According to Narozhny, China has artillery ammunition, approximately 10-15 million in warehouses.

"If China gives Russia, say, 1 million, then this is a month of more or less active artillery work. But it will be impossible to hide this million. And what will be the consequence of these supplies? China will definitely be under sanctions, perhaps partial. But it will be a huge blow for China's economy. For him, this means that China becomes a party to the conflict and they will have to rebuild their economy on the same military lines, that is, do everything for the victory of Russia and then forget about their integration into the world economy. But China cannot do this , because they are export-oriented. Their main trading partner is the United States and the EU," the military expert summarized.

It will be recalled that the Secretary General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, said that NATO saw "some signs" that Russia asked China to help it with lethal weapons in the war against Ukraine.
