While this increase sounds impressive, it won’t amount to anything in the grand scheme of things. Russia’s artillery production capabilities is vastly superior even when compared to this planned ramp up.
This guy has it right.
US plans to increase production of artillery shells to as much as 90,000/month within two years. Sounds like a lot? That's as many as Russia can currently fire in about 3 days. US currently produces 15,000/month — about half a day of what Russia can firehttps://t.co/NoqpF2YUuM

This doesn’t change anything.
