  1. That’s about 83,333 155mm shells per month. Impressive.

  2. The west is picking up the pace. It takes time, but when the stones are rolling, things do happen. And the bill will go to—————————–>the Kremlin.

  3. Now set a goal for 3 mil in the next 18 months

  4. waits for an American to comment that they make that many an hour

  5. But not all of that is for Ukraine, EU has contracts with other countries aswell. They have said that Ukraine is priority, but its up to the buyer if they want to postpone their order and send those shells to Ukraine instead.
    Nice to see that things are picking up, but we need atleast double that.

  8. Still not enough – North-Korea alone can produce 2 million 152 shells per year 🙁

  9. But isnt russia still producing like 3 mill? So still a little short isn’t it?

  11. Who does he mean with “we”. What country/countries does he represent here ?

  12. I could have a factory up in running in under two months producing 155mm shells. Only thing I don’t have currently is the lathe to produce the shells. Everything else is sitting idle in warehouses across Ohio.

  13. Just to clarify as well, NATO 155mm doesn’t fit Soviet style artillery (152mm) of which Ukraine still uses in some areas…

  15. We have the capacity but delivered only half of what we promised up to date…

  16. More capacity is coming. All free nations realize what they must do. More weapons, drones, missles, and tanks will help keep us safe.

  18. It’s about time, but I think this will be not enough. The European nation and Ukraine will need much more ammunition per year.

  19. I don’t think it’s a hard efford and I don’t think the situation demands more than that. Not a single PzH2000 went out of business – the precission and the safety of the western artillery systems makes them something very different from russian hardware.

    Ruskies have to fire 20 times the ammo to hit – they suffer from extremely challenging logistics – not every round reachis a gun – and effectivenes on hit is also lower.

    the number of battle tanks and apcs / ifvs that fall pray to toy drones with explosives is extreme – the leadership and training status among rusky artillery men is abysmal – i don’t see them taking another city in ukraine and in the long term Putins regime is errodet.
