Russia’s defense industrial base faces a critical labor shortfall. Reports from The Bell and industry insiders suggest that over 160,000 skilled workers are missing from the sector, due in part to military mobilization and lack of training. This threatens to undermine output despite official claims of uninterrupted production.Sources
