> Russia, in fact, is now producing more ammunition than the US and Europe, with one senior Estonian defense ministry official telling The Times that Russia’s current production is seven times that of the West.
I worry about the future.
But the misfire rate evens it out.
The allies need to step it up
Well you can only make artillery shells and that’s your metric of winning I guess you call it it a win, when the other side is crushing your depots, trooop concentrations, air defense system with long guided missiles. Artillery shell production only matters when it’s accurate, and the fact that Russia needs ten times the amount of shells to destroy a target, this is not a win.
The whole ammunition thing baffles me.
Our western economies are always banging on about how we want to get more manufacturing jobs..
Sudden demand for such.. And fuck all response…
We should be drowning Ukraine is munitions of every kind.
Instead it’s.. No Gepard ammo, no 155mm / 152mm ammo, no AA missile ammo…
Come on.it’s embarrassing…
Ukraine is gonna get lid up this winter
Those sanctions have really worked out . If the goal was to make Russias arms industry stronger and further galvanize the vast majority of the public behind Putin.
Russia must be about to break, I am seeing so many fake stories about how well they are doing.
The problem with the West is that our ammunition production is not on “wartime production”. The West have huge manufacturing capability, but most of our factories are privately owned, not publicly owned – thus impossible to be used unless we go into “wartime manufacturing”.
Western governments didn’t want to go too far because of elections. Consider the situation in America. If we support Ukraine too much, people may vote for Trump – who is more dangerous in long term for Ukraine. Same thing with other European countries.
Western people didn’t understand about the dangers of Russia.
Yeah, but none of it works. >:D
Fucking *how*? Russia is not the Soviet Union. What’s left of the Aral Sea is in two other countries. Where are these manufacturers getting their raw materials?
