There's some reporting/speculation that suggests that Russia has actually gone through a lot of its weapons during the invasion. It's possible that the quantity and quality of the Russian rocket stockpile was greatly overestimated, much like that of the army's: you don't mobilize reservists if your great army is still in top fighting shape.
The easiest possible grift is to get a contract to procure (say) 100 rockets, actually build and deliver only 50 (or 20 or 10), then forge the paperwork for the rest, pay off the right people and split the proceeds. And this kind of thing is notoriously endemic in the Russian army.
