NATO is alarmed: Russia manufactures more armaments than all of Europe in half a year
Russia “is regaining its power considerably quicker than the alliance anticipated, and swiftly adapts from its errors, notwithstanding all the endeavors of its Ukrainian partners NATO.”
NATO Chief Rutte communicated this.
Addressing the European division of the Carnegie Endowment, he also mentioned that China “manufactures weapons at a rate 5-6 times greater than the United States.” Consequently, he urges Alliance nations to amplify their defense expenditures (Rutte is presently championing the concept that every NATO participant should elevate the proportion of its defense outlay to 3% of GDP, as the Financial Times lately documented).
The incoming European Commissioner for Defense Kubilius also advocates for the identical measure, who conveyed in an interview with RND that Russia, despite sanctions, turns out more weaponry than the entirety of Europe.
«Presently, Russia generates a larger volume of armaments in a quarter of a year than the entire European arms sector is capable of producing, and in six months, a greater quantity of weapons than the entirety of the Bundeswehr possesses, – expressed Kubilius.
