          And even if you have a factory with all the machines and employees, you don’t suddenly have a working production line. The product we are talking about in this case is highly complex and has many non COTS components. Things like this have to be planned years in advance.

          It is money. It is always money. Russia could build factories, train a workforce, and pump out endless T90's like it was world war 2 but they don't have 15 trillion dollars with which to do so. The same applies to America now too.

          Russia and the west are all bankrupt but they hide it with money printing. If you went crazy with ww2 level mass production the inflation would be so crazy that you wouldn't be able to hide the national debt insolvency anymore. The solution? Maintain the economic status quo and have Russian soldiers make do with T55's because soldiers are disposable anyways. Problem solved.

            Russia can’t, and it’s not because they are bankrupt. The country has one of the lowest debt/GDP ratios in the world.
            It’s because their currency is not freely convertible, they are sanctioned to oblivion and are also subject to serious brain drain.

                What do you think money is, moron? It's a proxy for barter, whether that's food and clothes or a multi-billion dollar factory. Russia does not have:
                >The means to proxy this barter (ruble is basically a soviet-tier monopoly currency not usable or exchangeable outside of russia)
                >The trust of anyone making deals with them
                >Any access to the entities which have the resources, technology, personnel, etc that russia wants to barter for
                Russia could have ten trillion dollars cash right now and it wouldn't do them any good, because they've been locked out of the marketplace. The only guys they have left are the mobsters and hobos (China, India, etc) willing to smuggle things out of the market - but of course, the best things are never within their reach.

                Russia is completely unable to develop new and modern industry. All they can utilize is what they already had, and they have a disturbingly primitive industrial sector. They can't make a modern tank hull, let alone any of the electronics to go inside of it. They can't make aircraft parts, they can't make computer systems (or advanced software), they can't make anything except for crude materials which can easily be sourced elsewhere. It's unironically just over for Russia as any kind of economic or political power.

                I think people have a lot of trouble understanding that mechanical engineering is not a universally solved problem.

                They think everything can just be copied or 3D printed. The idea that an aeroengine manufacturer has an innovation in say, processes around metallurgy seems like something from a 1950s novel. Just copy it bro. The idea that if Germany, the US and say the Netherlands won't sell you a specific type of precision tooling, there isn't anywhere else in the world to get it from just seems ridiculous.

                And it’s very bad. Even at this low debt ratio, 10 year bond yields are at 10%.
                Meanwhile 10 year japanese bond yield is below 1%, even though Japan has way more than 200% of debt relative to GDP.

                Nobody is willing to buy russian government debt unless with a big risk premium. Their currency is not freely convertible, meaning that they hand out bonds in other currency, usually USD or EUR. Because nobody wants their shitty currency. There is nothing you can buy with it. You also never have excess Ruble, because nothing they are selling internationally is traded in Ruble.
                Russia has huge USD reserves from energy trades, but it can’t use them. Because, again, they are locked out from the majority of global trade. They are also in part forced to hold those to reduce bond yields.

    Modern or even semi-modern military hardware is complicated and expensive, Russia has the biggest tank plant on the planet yet it still can't produce more than a couple hundred tanks per year. In 2008 they've produced 175 although only 1/3rd of the plant's production was tanks so if they switch fully to military production and increase shifts this number might be several times bigger althouh considering sanctions and shortages their quality might be dubious
    In any case whatever Russia's doing is not sustainable in the slightest as proven by the fact they have to take T-62s out of deep storage

    • 1 year ago

      This. The issue is a little more nuanced than shills for both sides suggest, but it boils down to production capacity that can be calculated with decent accuracy.
      Modern tanks need lots of specialized equipment to build that needs a lot of specialized workers to operate. Even if we don’t include servicing machines, replacing tools etc, it should be clear to anybody that there is a hard limit on current production and expanding it significantly takes years, if not decades.
      Obviously production does not keep up with losses to combat and general wear, hence the aforementioned pulling of T62s.

        Its optical suite and fire stabilization, although very impressive by WW2 standards, is certainly quite outdated today.

        But funnily enough, the frontal armor can resist at least some autocannon fire and the M319 HVAP rounds probably still pack enough punch to take out IFVs as well as most Russian tanks from the side. The cannon on the T-62 likely doesn't even do vastly better with the early gen APFSDS they're issuing it lol.

    Tanks are harder to produce nowadays than they were in the 40s. A lot of key components to build modern/semi modern tanks are unattainable for Russia so the 30 new tanks they get per month is about as fast as you can go.

    The Kremlin has been trying to walk a tightrope of keeping the population calm and depoliticized while transitioning society and the economy onto a war footing, it can't be done quickly or people will panic (you saw it during the mobilization fiasco) but the central government has been slowly passing legislation to force private industry to begin making war materials and doubling and tripling shifts. This isn't a defensive war like WW2 and most Russians have really only accepted Putin remaining in power for so long because there has been an unofficial compact between the population and the state where they cede all political agency to the state and the state won't interfere with the population's ability to subsist. This war is already undermining that compact in fits and starts and further mobilization/nationalization of the economy will only strain it further. To make matters worse Russian industry can not domestically produce a lot of the more advanced components for their modern military equipment AND the demographic being targeted for mobilization is the same as the one that would work in these factories.

It would diminish China's good relations with Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan, who are certainly against Russia's invasion, and would further disrupt their Belt and Road Initiative. China just doesn't really have a dog in the fight. This is a war far away in Europe, not in their own backyard. And it's quite telling that China has begun cosying back up to the EU as shown by Xi's meeting Scholz, much to Russia's annoyance.

    Pretty sure nobody can retool their civilian industry to produce modern combat vehicles, tank isn't just slabs of steel welded together these days. Difference is american peace time military production probably outsizes russia's ten times over, but it's not gonna grow much larger than that in case of war I don't think

    They don't have the industrial capacity. They did it during WWII because the US sent them entire factories, boatloads of parts, specialty machinery, etc. But they don't have that anymore.

    Here's an example. This machine is called an upsetter, it grabs a big metal bar and smashes the end of it, like making the head on a nail, only much much bigger. This makes tank roadwheels, truck axles, all kinds of other stuff. This particular one was sent by the US to Russia during lend-lease. Then a few years ago, after it finally wore out after decades of service running 3 shifts a day, it was shipped back to Ohio to be refurbished where it was built.

      ...and here is the several hundred ton main casting being trucked back to the factory for repair.
      Think about how much this machine is actually worth for people to bother dragging that much weight all the way around to the other side of the world. Even though it is decades old there are only a handful of machines of this kind of capability in the world. And they ain't in Russia anymore.

        Here's another example, though this is not in Russia. You want to make tanks? You need a vertical boring mill like this to make the turret ring. The West provided these to Russia back during WWII. How many you think the Russians have working now? How many people do they have who know how to run them?

          A few years ago it was for sale at an industrial machiery dealer in the US. IIRC asking price was $15 million, which is probably less than it costs to move.

        These machines usually are one of a kind. They are all purpose built and last forever. Even though the SU/Russia definitely had/has the capability to make those, it takes a very long time, is ridiculously expensive and you usually don’t do it while there are still machines available.
        Just look at .30 barrels still being made in Russia for machine guns, just because the bongs sent them machinery almost 140 years ago.

    The real question is why isn't Yurop and America doing this?

    Even if you exclude the G*rmans who obviously wanted Russia to win so they can return to the status quo, no reason for Bongs, Froggies and Burgers to not mass produce NLAWs, CAESAR, HIMARS along with ammunition.

      Because most of these items need specialized components that come from one off production runs that need specialized machines that are either busy doing other stuff or don’t exist at this time.
      Setting up or expanding production for these items is extremely complicated, time consuming and expensive.

    They already have thousands of death trap tanks so they don't need Shermans.

      Less than 1 tanker died per knocked out Sherman on average and that survey also included tanks without wet stowage. I doubt the T-72 preserves the lives of its crews that well.

    the machine tools required to do that came from America in WW2, the Stalingrad Tractor Factory was built in Detroit, "Russian" industry is communist propaganda, the T-34 is an American Christie tank, Russia STILL USES the made in detroit WW2 era forges we sent them

    Supply chain and logistics. SImply put Complexity of military equipment since WW2 has increased diametrically, and Russia doesn't have domestic production for all the parts like they used to during soviet times.

    Modern warfare is won by logistics and Russia just sucks at it. Even if they are able to make basic stuff. They still need to import from embargo countries all IR, comm equipment, unless they get it from china (that is if chinks are even willing to sell it).

    Also Equipment was never issue for Russia, they had tons of equipment in storage, and some modern few hardware that they had was decent. They were just very stupid about how to use all that equipment. Russian education system failed even the military.

    >muh microelectronics
    But there's so many off-the-shelf chips for pretty much any purpose freely sold on the global market with no embargoes, it's unlikely that Russia relies on chips they designed and exclusively use (note: I'm not saying such chips don't exist) for their military if they don't have semiconductor fabs indigenously.

    Point is generic chips are easy to get a hold of and special chips is an issue you can get around, like using FPGAs, so I think the issue is not that microelectronics are unattainable for Russia.

      except you need to source them in bulk and get a mass production process in place you can't really jury rig ad hoc shit for each tank from the back of some workshop, it needs to be an industrial process
