We make fewer 155mm artillery shells in a year than Russia does in 2 months. Something has to change.
That would be very concerning if we were actually in an artillery slugging match with Russia.
I've got really bad news for you about the laat few years in Ukraine.
MISSILE GAP
How many do we have in stock already?
I don't know the exact number but we've shipped somewhere north of 3 million shells to Ukraine since 2022 and we make around 40k/month (which is a massive improvement from 3 years ago) so I would ballpark it as "not enough".
