Pentagon: Russia uses obsolete munitions

This was reported by Reuters, citing a senior US defence official, who said:

They (Russia) have taken munitions from obsolete stocks, which shows that they are willing to use these old munitions, some of which were produced more than 40 years ago.

According to the US military, if the Russians do not have missile supplies from other countries, their own stockpiles will run out by early 2023.

The use of obsolete ammunition carries certain risks. After all, such a projectile must still reach the target and explode in time. Which does not always happen.
