I'd suggest Andrei Martyanov, Dr Fadi Lama, or even Michael Hudson would dispute this, "Russian arms production is a completely different story. The Russian economy is less than a tenth the size of the United States or the European Union". Russia's economy has eclipsed Germany and or Japan for that matter. Most of the metrics for economic size have come from a preponderance of "financialisation". None the less, as usual, your reports are very well researched and always worth checking out. Thanks.
What I don't understand is how can sensitive data like the amount of shells produced or used, the existing stock of ammunition or where they are purchased from becomes publicly available. Especially while the war is going on. Isn't like showing your cards while you are playing?

Good. The faster they run dry, the faster the war will be over. Sucks to be them…🤮

Thanks Kevin, I always enjoy your astute commentary.
Thanks ~ I look forward to your report on India.
The world could do with less production of bullets and shells for war. A pause for peace is a good thing.
