“Germany has offered to produce 250,000 artillery shells, which is a quarter of the 1 million 155-mm shells that the EU plans to produce for Ukraine.”
In what time frame, I wonder.

Drone attack on an oil depot in Stevastopol?
(CNN)
—
A fuel tank is on fire in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol, the Russian-backed governor of the city Mikhail Razvozhaev said on Telegram early Saturday.
Razvozhaev said the fire has spread to around 1,000 square meters and that initial reports indicate it was caused by a drone.
The fuel tank is in the Cossack (Kazacha) Bay neighborhood, he said, adding response teams are working on site.
“It is a class 4 fire. Information about casualties is being updated,” he wrote.
The short answer is yes.
SDBs without a rocket assist would only need a "ripple" release. The key setting would be the "interval" between releases. With an interval of .25 seconds, 16 SDBs delivered in 4 seconds.
An air launched rocket assisted SDB would a bit more difficult, but certainly doable.
.
Also note that the impact angle on SDBs can be set. This would make them ideal for trenches.
I believe that some if not a lot of military aid is not being announced I would be curious and hopeful that the large stock of cluster artillery ammunition the US still has in stock has been sent. We used them to great effect, road of death in Kuwait…., would be ideal for trenches and suppressing and destroying enemy positions
UA is preparing some sort of surprise in Bakhmut area - explosive or psychological
