What Russia has
Russia is very secretive about what weapons they have. There are obvious reasons for this. One is it is possible scenario is that if Western governments had to every last detail and realized Russia was significantly weaker they would invade (pretty unlikely showing how scared modern countries are of war). or better yet the public and citizens had that information they could push for their governments to invade Russia. That is also somewhat unlikely as the citizens would have to seriously want to go to war and then riot when that request is not met. But if Western agencies like the CIA knew that the Russians were stronger. First off they would use as much censorship as necessary to stop the public from finding out. But two there would be sabotage missions to keep everything balanced. Thus everything points to as little info on Russia's entire military capabilities. But Government agencies will give out incomplete summaries of the Russian military to make people feel safe. Also, there is some information for people who have investments in the Russian defense sector. So from that and the items Russians have captured from Ukraine, we can get a basic idea of their capabilities and what they could get their hands on to see how long this awful war will go on for.

Russia has possibly built based on how many tanks an old soviet company would produce a month and I just used 12 months as the war has gone on for longer than that. Not very realistic numbers but at the very least I believe Russia has produced this many tanks since the beginning of the war though I believe it is much more
(600) tanks

The Russian's latest Acquisitions documented in social media
I don't have 100% faith in this source so take these numbers with a grain of salt. But maybe a ballpark estimate of how many missiles the Ukrainians at least think the Russians have or missiles they have so far observed
Below is what the tweet said
Assessment 🇺🇦 of military intelligence regarding the current status of missiles (with a range of over 350 km) in the Russian armed forces. 11/6/23
There are 870 of them, including:
- 165 Calibres
- 160 Ch-101/555/55
- 290 Iskander-M/K
- 80 Kindjals
- 150 Ch-22/32
https://x.com/janr210/status/1721462188341170440?s=46&t=zlMPYMuKwwuwLah2HB1-vw
According to some guy's screenshot and Ukrainian intelligence reports this is the amount of missiles Russians can make a month Again, I'm not super trusting of this source as the UA intelligence agency is motivated to lie to either show off their capability or make Russian's capabilities look less to increase positivity to fighting the war which is pretty low thanks to recent losses
2 Kh-47 Kinzhal missiles a month
5 Iskandar missiles a month
25 Kaibr missiles a month
35 Kh-101 cruise missiles
the War has been going on for 21 months thus if Russia stayed at its maximum production ability all 21 months
They'd have
42 Kh-47s
105 iskandar missiles
525 kalibr missiles
735 Kh-101

10/2/23 I know this is a supposed gotcha moment for the Ukrainians but these stocks must be extremely old. I think Russia may be using up its old stocks to save its new stocks for later which may be a pretty smart resourceful move. Which proves Russia is in it for the long haul. This isn't new in Russian warfare; they always get their ass kicked in the beginning then just keep fighting till their enemy can't take it anymore. Russia's military strength is its stamina in warfare it seems.

Russians have been buying electronics to make more weapons and weapon systems for example here is a recent article about American companies getting arrested due to exporting dual-use equipment to Russia. Because I don't want to teach people what specific civilian items Russians are asking for I am just going to refer to the general term for them

North Korea

North Korea believed to have exported over 1 million shells to Russia | CNN
Russian separatists have had in 2014 (assume that some of these have been used, destroyed or captured because all these snapshots were observed in 2014) My reasoning for including this is obviously the Russians are gearing up for war at this period thus everything they gave to these 'separatists' or 'little green men' is likely old stuff they had already have replacements for. Also, these guns we know are deployed. The gund were deployed 8 years before the invasion
2014 Ammunition in Pro-Russian separatist hands (really just out-of-uniform Russian soldiers)

There are plenty more casualties I got all these from Acled I don't know if I'll go through the Twitter posts I don't have a ton of faith in them as you can just slap a logo on whatever side you want to promote on some drone footage and wallah there's a few with actual force walking upon the wreckage I believe those are a little too hard to fake

Only Ukrainians would add a Viking song to a video blowing up an IVF but seriously it would be pretty hard to use a Russian vid to make this Russia doesn't have a lot of javelins or crystal clear cameras and drones from the West
