The EU has delivered over 980,000 shells to Ukraine so far. By the end of the year, the number of delivered shells will reach 1.5 million, says EU foreign policy chief Borrell.

1. A real European success: the EU now produces more 155 mm shells than the US does even if it’s still not enough and the picture isn’t the same in other areas of war production. But the assumption that the European defence industrial base can’t ramp up is plain wrong.

2. As much as I love this that Europe has done this, I’d be interested to know how many we’ve actually produced in the last year or two.

   I suspect production hasn’t actually increased that much and that a lot of what been sent was old stock and stock purchased from non eu countries.

3. And in the giving nature Ukraine gave them to some needy orcs. Very sad they can’t catch properly. You can lead a horse to water but can’t make them drink

4. Not even 1 million, after nearly 3 years.

   RuZ reached 4 million shells, LAST YEAR.

   I am so tired of this shyt. Just give UKR nukes or whatever.

5. We need to do more! Tiny backward North Korea has sent more than that to Russia just this year.

6. I remember estimates from earlier this year that russia is firing 10k shells per day, while Ukraine is shell-starved and can’t match russia’s rate of fire. This 1.5 mln shells – it’s *total number since Feb 2022*, isn’t it? That’s how many shells russia fires in *less than half a year*.

7. Still nowhere near enough

8. Isn’t that about 1/3rd as many as North Korea has managed to send, by itself?

9. Russia produced over 250,000 shells in a month.. In March.. It must be even higher up by now
