On behalf of sane Americans, we apologize it took this long to get funding for the war, see, we’re dealing with a Russian problem ourselves in our government
Note – the U.S. has already more than doubled its pre-war production of 155mm ammunition and output continues to grow. This will represent a 700% increase in production compared to 2021.
If people would of givin Ukraine what they needed a year ago we wouldn’t have this problem of needing to.
Make it rain, baby! One shell, one kill. Not luck, all skill.
He noted that with the addition, approved on April 23, by next summer, the US will reach a production of 100,000 units of 155mm artillery ammunition.
1.2 million annually still seems low. I understand that our artillery is much more accurate than Russias, but not all 1.2 mil would go to Ukraine. We can do better.
Good. More domestic jobs. A precious opportunity to reboost the military morale across the Western world.
Anyone know how many shells we manufacture in the US vs. internationally? Seems like making shells in the US only to ship them elsewhere isn’t the best use of resources.
Also, has the us ever fired a single arty shelll inside the US in a live combat situation?
