US ammo situation

[Manonthestreet]

At the regular production rate of 93,000 rounds annually, the industrial base would never be able to replenish 155mm projectiles because of the number consumed in standard military training and maintenance operations, the CSIS report said. The base can surge to a rate of 240,000 rounds each year, but even then it would take five years before inventories of 155mm would be fully rebuilt.

Neocon PACs are going to be fat!

[okfine]

So, since the DOD doesn't blab to the world what they have means they don't have it?

Build more factories and open more mining for minerals needed to make ammo

You seem to think field artillery is a major part of our national defense.

China has about twice as many artillery pieces as we do, North Korea has about three times as many, and Russia has almost five times as many.

If we wanted to destroy the Russian presence in Ukraine it could be done in a matter of days. Just what kind of rinky-dink military do you think we have?
