Former Secretary General NATO's George Robertson said that Russia in the military industry many times exceeds the capabilities of Western countries. His words are quoted by the British newspaper The Times.
According to Robertson, the Russian Federation currently produces 200 tanks and two million artillery shells per year. As noted by the former Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance, it is twice more than before the start of the special military operation (SVO) on the territory of Ukraine and seven times more than the West produces.
In addition, Robertson also assessed the capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU ) to maintain the pace of the counteroffensive. He emphasized that the Ukrainian armed forces do not have enough artillery shells for this, and also noted that long-term military operations exhaust Ukrainian military personnel.
