⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 On Increasing Ammunition Production in the US⚡️
💬 The Financial Times reports that officials in the US are actively working on increasing the production of 155 mm ammunition, including with a view to supplying it to #Ukraine.
📈 By 2025, the Americans plan to increase the production of shells for M777 howitzers to 90,000 rounds per month.
🇨🇦 For this purpose, defence plants in the Canadian province of #Ontario are being re-equipped and new workshops are being built in the state of #Texas. Similar complexes will be built in the states of Iowa, #Arkansas and #Kansas.
🇷🇴 In addition, the US administration has concluded agreements on the supply of 155-mm shells to the AFU with #Bulgaria and the Republic of Korea, and is currently conducting relevant negotiations with the leadership of #Japan.
❗️In the described situation, it is disconcerting that the already existing production facilities in the US produce only 24 thousand rounds of ammunition per month, that's about 100 rounds per hour when working in one shift for 8 hours. This is not enough even for a modest defence plant with convey lines. Only by the decision to introduce a second shift can the output be increased to 40,000 without the need to set up new plants.
📌 However, the remark would be true if the West did not pursue the goal of spending as much money as possible, including on the construction of additional infrastructure under the pretext of the Ukrainian conflict. Not to mention that at the current intensity of the artillery battle, the amount of ammunition produced is literally enough for a few days.
