Wow, still.  Russia, Iran, NK produce more ammo than the entire West.  Embarrassing.
Problem is NATO is PROFIT DRIVEN and over producing a product can result in
loss of profits and stock price.  Now NATO does have a plan to increase 155mm
arty shells by 30%......by.....2027   .

Estimates are that Russia is using 95% Russian made ammo and the rest is
some test ammo from Iran and NK.

Weekend at Bernies Ukraine....is on life support.

BRUSSELS (AP)January 23, 2024 — NATO signed on Tuesday a $1.2-billion contract to make tens of thousands of artillery rounds to replenish the dwindling stocks of its member countries as they supply ammunition to Ukraine to help it defeat Russia’s invasion.

The contract will allow for the purchase of 220,000 rounds of 155-millimeter ammunition, the most widely sought after artillery shell, according to NATO’s support and procurement agency. It will allow allies to backfill their arsenals and to provide Ukraine with more ammunition.

------Really, 220,000 for 2024?  Russia fires over 20,000 rounds per day.   Ukes once could fire 5-10,000 per day.

So this big contract is news for cuckies....its one month of arty for Ukraine.   Math for cuckies.

I think Israel captured enough ammo and rockets from dead Hamas to last them for 30 years.
