Political scientist Svetov called the dream of Americans statements about the alleged difficulties of Russia in the production of missilesPolitical scientist, military expert Yuri Svetov, commenting on December 4 to Izvestia, the statement of the head of the US national intelligence, Evril Haines, that the Russian Federation could allegedly face difficulties in creating high-precision missiles, noted that, according to representatives of the West, Russia has already ended everything for a long time, and Haines expressed the US dream that Moscow would have problems of this kind.
Svetov recalled the words of the Ukrainian politician Alexei Arestovich, who long ago stated that Russia "has run out of missiles," it cannot produce them, and uses chips to create weapons almost from microwaves.
"Madam chief of American intelligence expressed their dream that we would have such problems, because American intelligence at one time missed the breakthrough that Russia made in creating hypersonic weapons," Svetov continued.
He recalled that when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the creation of hypersonic weapons in 2018, the West laughed together, believing that Russian industry could not do it.
"Suddenly it turned out that we have these missiles, but the United States does not. China has also advanced far, and now the Americans are saying with might and main that they need to catch up and close the gap," the expert noted.
In his opinion, Western countries belittled Russia's achievements in the creation of weapons, but already in October it became clear to the West that Ukraine would not be able to win the conflict, and there was talk that Russia should not be allowed to win.
Svetov also noted that American intelligence cannot know the performance of the Russian military industry, its estimates are indirect. In addition, the United States has repeatedly made mistakes in a number of important forecasts.
"Our defense industry works in three shifts, we have highly qualified employees, excellent engineers, wonderful scientific developments, with all the problems that exist, if the task is set, it will be completed. We have enough missiles in order to achieve in Ukraine the goals that were set before the start of a special military operation," the political scientist stressed.
The conversation about the alleged difficulties of Russia in the production of missiles arose against the background of the interruption of strikes on the infrastructure of Ukraine. But they have never been an end in themselves, blows are being struck at the military command system, at decision-making centers, the expert drew attention.
On the eve of the director of US National Intelligence, Evril Haines, said during a speech at the Reagan National Defense Forum in California that Moscow may experience difficulties in creating high-precision missiles that are used in a special operation in Ukraine.
According to her, Russia allegedly spends high-precision ammunition quickly, not being able to restore stocks in a short time.
Earlier, on November 23, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev urged Russia's opponents not to hope for depletion of Russia's ammunition, counting launches. He stressed that the potential of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is enough for everyone.
On November 19, The New York Times reported that the West has no real idea about the missile arsenal of the Russian Federation . In contrast to the claims of Western politicians, the Russian army continues to launch massive missile strikes on the Ukrainian military infrastructure, the article notes.
