Although Russia's GDP fell by only 4%, its economy is no longer able to provide for the army – Rustamzade

The torn military-industrial complex does not replenish the losses and the Russian Federation has become dependent on supplies.

Despite official data that according nine months of the war in Ukraine, the Russian economy has lost only 4% of GDP, the country is already under pressure from the entire press of instruments, and the degree of tension among the population is increasing, military analyst Agil Rustamzade noted in an interview with Inna Vedernikova.< /p>

“The economic situation cannot be viewed only through the prism of gross product. The GDP may have fallen slightly, but the economy is no longer able to provide the army to fight successfully,” he notes.

Rustamzade stressed that the Russian Armed Forces have lost 30-40% of their combat potential, equipment and resources. , and the defense-industrial complex torn apart by sanctions is unable to replenish these losses.

In turn, in the army itself, there are many problems with the newly mobilized, with the provision of clothes, shoes, and military equipment.

“All this in a complex changes the atmosphere inside Russia. And again, my thesis about the gradual increase in the degree of tension is relevant. After eight months of war, Russians have no desire to serve. This war did not become a people's, liberation war. But in the summer she could become like that. And there were volunteers who went to fight. That is, everything has its time,” he emphasized.
