We talk a lot about tanks and air defense, but how many cars and fuel tanks can russia produce per day?
They are losing hundreds of them a day for quite some time now.
A typical us truck factory is doing a new truck every two ninutes or less. Cars are likely the same. I don't know how Russia does but I wouldn't expect issues. They can produce men or military vehicles that fast but your basic truck is not something to expect they run out of.
IDK, but I do know that Russian car manufacturers like LADA are complaining that they can't compete on either price or quality with cars coming from China.
Russian manufactured cars lack parts that are completely standard everywhere else, like air bags, power steering, ABS, media-center etc. Their engines are also generally weak, and the comfort and driving characteristics are terrible. This is despite in principle having learned how to make somewhat decent cars first by FIAT and later by Renault. But without parts an know how from the west their manufacturing capabilities are absolute shit.
So I bet there are shortages also in the production of military equipment, and the quality is probably awful on that too, where what they need before anything else is to fulfill government contracts.
