"Russia's Troop Buildup in Ukraine Raises Concerns Over Weapon Shortages"

Russia is drafting hundreds of thousands of troops for major assaults in Ukraine, but it may not have enough weapons to equip them all, according to military experts. The Institute for the Study of War reported that Russia's military reserves are not ready for combat and its production rates cannot support a large number of conscripts or reservists. This shortage of weapons could significantly impact the outcome of the war, as Russia has been recruiting poorly-trained soldiers for intense assaults on the front lines in Ukraine, resulting in major losses and failed advances.
