Russia, meanwhile, produced 1.7 million until beginning of 2022, increased their rate to 3.3 million in 2022, and further plans for 5 million per annum by 2024. If the reports of China moving to directly supply lethal aid are accurate, the firepower advantage of the RuF will grow wider yet.

Meanwhile, NATO countries have transferred to Ukraine 1,170 air defense systems, 440 tanks, 1,510 infantry fighting vehicles, 655 artillery systems since December 2021, according to the data of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
