They've had to go hat-in-hand to China, Iran, and the Norks to source equipment.

Can they speed it up?

No. If you've ever studied Russian military history, you'd know that they absolutely suck at warfare. Always have. Every technological peer that they've ever faced in battle has put wildly disproportionate casualties on them. Russia usually wins, but it's only due to sheer numbers. Due to their demography, they no longer have meat waves to throw at their enemies like they used to.
