The Army’s top acquisition official says production of the 155-millimeter shells badly needed by Kyiv will rise to 90,000 a month in two years.

    Just for context, US currently produces 172,800 shells a year, while Russia was producing 733,260 back in 2021. And this six fold increase is going to take years to do. And shells aren’t the only problem here. US built howitzers can’t sustain the rate of fire needed to use such amounts of shells. So, it’s back to the drawing board for uncle Sam.

      Since you’re evidently utterly ignorant of history, I recommend reading this book produced by US military, it makes it crystal clear that allies played a minor role in the war:
