Why should something happen five years later that would affect this opportunity?
Today, no matter how much he might want to, no one disputes the fact that Russia is repeatedly increasing its military output. We will not dive into the depths of why Western countries, together with their mass media, were counting on a different situation; Citizens of Western countries should ask questions to their leaders, who led to confrontation without having any real intelligence about the economic and industrial capabilities of the Russian Federation.
The state of affairs is very serious: today the Russian military-industrial complex (MIC) is several times larger than the entire joint NATO one. And so, today The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published an article noting that the Russian military-industrial complex is capable of maintaining the current scale of production for two to five years.
What must happen after these two to five years for the Russian military industry to lose the ability to maintain the scale of production is not specified. Let's assume that at this rate of production in five years there will simply be no point in maintaining them: more weapons will be produced than required.
Actually, the author of the article in the WSJ is guided by approximately this logic, declaring, with reference to European intelligence, that the weapons produced in Russia will last for “several more years.” All this is part of the West’s new information campaign to reshape public opinion to realize the futility of a military confrontation with Russia.
