Putin's Warning: Russia's Military Industry Struggles to Keep Up with the West

Russia's military industry is "hopelessly outmatched" by Western countries providing military aid to Ukraine, according to a new analysis by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that Russia's military production will be boosted in the coming years, but the ISW argues that the U.S. and other Western countries have a decisive advantage in terms of overall available resources and industrial capacity. Putin's comments are intended to create the false impression that supporting Ukraine is futile, but the ISW says this is not supportable.
