Russian army runs out of ammunition along the frontline, military production in Russia collapsed

The report said that throughout the three-plus years of the war, the Russian military-industrial complex grew at double-digit rates, but in September the trend reversed. After three years of production boom, growth in Russia’s military-industrial complex has stalled and begun to decline, The Moscow Times reports, citing recent data from Rosstat. The military-industrial complex, which had become the main driver of the Russian economy thanks to trillions in budget spending on state defense orders, suddenly collapsed.

The report also said that for the first time since the war, industries linked to the military-industrial complex have stagnated or contracted, following double-digit growth rates for almost three years in a row,” the publication writes. Thus, the latest data for September show that production volumes of “finished metal products,” which includes most weapons, fell by 1.6% compared to September of last year. By comparison, this category saw a 26.4% increase in 2023 and a 31.6% increase in 2024. In the “other vehicles” category, which Rosstat classifies all military equipment, from infantry fighting vehicles to submarines, growth in September was 6% compared to the same month the previous year. By comparison, this category grew by 34.2% in 2024 and by 29% in 2023.

There will be more to collapse soon if this war will not be put to an end. They have to oust Putin so they can breath the freedom and prosperity of living.

From my perspective, the decline in the growth of the Russian military industry is a worrying sign that Russia's economy and military capabilities are facing serious obstacles. For years, the military-industrial complex was a major economic pillar for Russia, fueled by massive state investment in defense. However, recent data shows that this trend has reversed and that, for the first time in a long time, production in this sector is declining. This could reflect internal problems, such as a lack of resources or economic fatigue, or perhaps a Russian strategy to reduce its focus on war. Furthermore, I believe that if the conflict in Ukraine and on other fronts is not resolved soon, the Russian economy could be in danger of collapsing completely. Putin's departure might be necessary for Russia to regain its stability and move toward greater freedom and prosperity.
