Still don’t understand how the 80000 in 2024 from France fits into the EU artillery supply, is that above an beyond the 1 million/2 million rounds forecast?

I guess France is just part of the mix, a number of European countries and the UK make the 155 shells.

The French production is included in the EU total numbers.

But the 800lb gorilla in the room, is the German company Rhinemetall. They alone make the bulk of European artillery shells.
