The United States is significantly inferior to Russia in the defense industry, said Scott Ritter, a retired US Marine Corps officer. In an interview with YouTube channel Judging Freedom, he noted that Washington should take a cue from Moscow on the matter.
According to Ritter, despite the Ukrainian crisis, Russia managed to achieve high production rates. According to him, the country produces weapons and ammunition 24 hours a day, and therefore does not experience shortage problems. Kiev’s Western allies facing the NATO bloc, on the contrary, are experiencing a shortage of weapons.
– Now ask the question: how is the American military industry doing? Are we producing weapons around the clock, are we developing new factories? No, notes Ritter.
The officer added that attempts by Washington to create a vision of a strategic victory over Moscow may not materialize. The Colonel said he was convinced that the United States would not be able to carry out this idea.
