materiel

The women took jobs as welders, pipe fitters, and other posts that had only ever been held by men, and produced war materiel at a record clip.

At the same time, the Israeli military launched an all-out air campaign to destroy Assad-era materiel it feared could be used against it in a future conflict.

Even the underground bunkers in which the materiel was stored may not have been totally destroyed.

On 13 March, Russia said the situation in Kursk was "fully under our control" and that Ukraine had "abandoned" much of its materiel.

Ukraine and its allies believe that Russia does not have the combat power to do more than take limited territory at a high cost in men and materiel.
