#1 

Having some difficulty buying into the idea that Putin's Soviet Army does not have a self-contained internal War Industry and part suppliers?

I am leaning more towards the idea of White House provided data that sells the idea that Bidens Sanctions are working.

#2 Depends on what happened to the parts they were supposed to have on hand. Sent to client states? Sold for cash? Scrapped for pocket money? Never ordered to save money?

#3 3 million parts ordered and budgeted for. 1 million delivered with the rest of the money siphoned off from corruption.

Ukraine's spooks won't go on record, nor will
Ukraine's deputies, legislators.

Today's reporters wouldn't know a rifle cartridge from a dildo.

SO, where are they going to go for information?

#10 I'd say the Ukrainian foreign minister is a reliable source.
Dmytro Kuleba, the Ukrainian foreign minister, told friends last week that the military had “two weeks” before it ran out of anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, a situation that is said to have only “partially improved” after countries sent extra weapons in the past days.
