The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is coming into focus, and now even Western war analysts are spreading rumors that many of the Russian ammunition they would not explode. This is a situation that baffles us given the warfare technology available to Russia, yet according to analysts at least 60% of the weapons supplied to the Russian army are malfunctioning.
These claims are made after a careful analysis of the ground on which several Russian bombs were found not exploded. The news is reported by Corriere, which recalls a similar situation also during the conflict between Russia and Georgia that took place in August 2008. At that time the hostilities, motivated by the seizure of the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, took place for a short period of time, only 5 days. Russia won, however, according to certain analyses, more than 50% of Russian weapons also had malfunctions on that occasion, linked in particular to poorly maintained fuses. By spolletta we mean the device designed to activate the detonation of the internal explosive charge in munitions such as bullets, bombs and ballistic missiles.
Always after analysthence there would be a quality problem at this point. Undoubted Russian technology in the field of warfare (we are talking about excellent weapons, sometimes superior to those available in the West), however, in the transition from prototypes to actual products, serious shortcomings would come to light due to shortages of materials or manufacturing processes. At least that’s what analysts found out and reported by the Courier.
Not only. Again after the above analysis that alloys The material used to build the aircraft would be similar to that used in western countries, but of poor quality, so double thicknesses are required. This would result in a significant weight gain affecting the final yield. In this regard, the example of the MiG29 Fulcrum is reported, a fighter aircraft still in service today, which, however, requires an engine change after a few hundred flight hours.
