Military analyst Oleksiy Hetman said that the aggressor

Russia

still has a relatively large stockpile of weapons.

However, compared to the reserves that were a year ago, they are exhausted.

Currently, the Russian military industry can produce about 900 armored vehicles per year: 450 tanks and 450 armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles.

No more.

Hetman expressed this opinion on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel.

"This means that the inviolable reserve, which in principle cannot be used in certain military operations, because the army will simply be left without equipment and weapons. They are already using it. I think they understand it perfectly," said the expert.

The Russian Federation can produce approximately 20-25 tanks per month.

Up to 15,000 tanks are in warehouses.

However, it is possible to put on the front no more than 3 thousand, because most of them are not subject to deconservation after standing for 20-50 years.

According to Hetman, in the Russian Federation, one of three to five tanks is collected and sent to the front line.

As for missiles, Russia can produce no more than 50 missiles per month.

These are, in particular, Kh-101, "Calibers", "Iskanders", etc.

That is why the occupiers' stocks of this type of weaponry are practically exhausted. 

"If we compare with the stocks at the beginning of the war, then the enemy has no more than 15% of them left," Hetman said.

The expert also reminded that the aggressor country strikes not only with long-range and high-precision missiles, but also with modified air defense systems - from S-300, S-400.

"Unfortunately, they have several thousand such missiles. According to various estimates, from 5 to 6 thousand. They also have a large stockpile of planning bombs that can shoot at a range of up to 50 km. Now they have begun to use aviation more actively," he says analyst.

Hetman believes that the Russian occupiers have two scenarios in this situation: either to end this war with a powerful attack, as they believe, by "liberating" Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and stop there, or to try to transfer the war into a long-term phase in order to have time to replenish their stockpiles of weapons. 

It will be recalled that Yuriy Ignat, the spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, reported that

 Russia has a large stockpile of aerial bombs

.

It is cheaper and faster to convert them into guided ones than to produce missiles.

Most of all, the occupying army lacks high-precision missile weapons.

By the way, on the night of March 24, Russian troops

 attacked Sumy Oblast with Su-35 fighters

.

The occupiers released more than 10 guided aerial bombs.

More than ten guided bombs attacked objects in the region.
