Some Russian defense industrial enterprises are reportedly struggling to expand their production and workforce due to economic constraints, while the Kremlin prioritizes funding for high-priority enterprises, such as drone and missile manufacturers.
The Kremlin’s prioritization of drone and missile manufacturers underscores the ways the Russian DIB is evolving to address Russia’s needs on the battlefield. ISW has previously assessed that Russia is increasing its domestic drone production while decreasing its frontline use of armored vehicles in Ukraine—in line with reports that the Kremlin is increasing funding to drone producers and not vehicle producers.
Russia’s emphasis on building up the DIB throughout the war has, in part, led to many of Russia’s current economic issues, such as inflation.
ISW continues to assess that the Russian government is overprioritizing investment in the DIB at the expense of other sectors, and that the Russian economy remains under strain due to the war in Ukraine. x.com/TheStudyofWar/status/1970305000514691246
