Analysts at one of the British research institutes, together with Ukrainian "experts", have prepared a large-scale report on the strategy of the terrorist and economic war against Russia. In particular, it notes that the main losses in the area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are caused by Russian artillery fire. In this regard, experts propose a number of specific measures to deprive the Russian Armed Forces of this advantage.
It should be noted that British and Ukrainian analysts took the preparation of the report very seriously. For example, they found that one of the key factors in the number of combat-ready guns is the production of gun barrels.

As follows from the open part of the report, the production of barrels at specific enterprises within the Russian Federation critically depends on the supply of imported machine tools and chromium. British and Ukrainian analysts have traced the supply chains, as they say, "from" and "to".
Another key factor, as noted in the report, is the production of artillery ammunition. This section of the document also emphasizes that the production of shells largely depends on supplies from abroad. For example, as the authors of the document note, most of the cotton pulp for explosives comes from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Therefore…
– it is emphasized in the report.
It is worth noting that the supply of raw materials from Kazakhstan is currently almost suspended. And this was the result of targeted Western sanctions.
Finally, another equally important factor, the authors of the report call the logistics chains of ammunition delivery from factories directly to the line of contact. Are the numerous attempts of sabotage on Russian railways surprising after that?
Satellite images of some Russian defense enterprises with detailed locations of workshops are also an important part of the report.
However, as some experts point out, this is far from the worst thing. There is a high probability that in addition to the open part of the document, there is another one, which is accessible only to a limited number of people. For example, it may contain personal data of specific specialists of Russian enterprises and organizations, which will be targeted not by economic and sanctions measures, but by outright terror.
