“More & More Creative...“ Putin Beats US Sanctions, Russia Making More Missiles Now Than Last Year

Despite Western sanctions and export controls, Russia has managed to expand its missile production beyond pre-war levels, raising concerns among US and European officials about Ukraine’s vulnerability to intensified attacks. Initial estimates suggested the sanctions would stall Russia’s arms production for at least six months, but Moscow adapted by using its intelligence services and illicit networks to smuggle critical components through third countries. Russia’s current ammunition production is seven times greater than that of the West, with lower production costs. While Russia still has flaws in its strategy, its increased missile stocks pose a significant concern for Ukraine, which lacks sufficient air defence systems to cover the entire country and defend against potential missile barrages. #russia #putin #us #west #missile #ukraine #sanctions #worldnews 0:00 - INTRODUCTION 0:41 - RUSSIA BEATS WESTERN SANCTIONS TO RAMP UP ARMS PRODUCTION 1:49 - RUSSIA GETTING MISSILE COMPO
