In 2023, Russia produced two million shells, and in 2024 it plans to reach a level of about 2.7 million.
NATO countries have two to three years left to prepare for open confrontation with the Russian Federation. The head of the Norwegian Armed Forces, General Eirik Christophersen, said this on Monday in an interview with Bloomberg.
He noted that NATO had previously given Russia up to ten years to restore its military potential, which had been depleted by the all-out invasion of Ukraine.
“But I think now we have less than 10 years again because of the military-industrial complex, which operates almost non-stop in Russia. We have a window of two to three years to restore our strength, rebuild our reserves military while continuing to support Ukraine.” , said the Norwegian general.
The commander of the Norwegian Armed Forces noted that Russia’s position near his country’s borders has not changed significantly over the past year, and that this allows Oslo to meet the requirements for strengthening its defense capabilities, which were agreed upon within NATO.
“So, we can fill these plans and these decisions with content over the next few years, but we need to speed up. We need to do this within two to three years to be ready for anything that may happen,” he stressed.
Norway says allies should give Ukraine permission to invade Russian territory with Western weapons.
