Alexander Mercouris:
I just wanted to add one very very last point. It seems the total stockpile of HIMARs missiles in the United States is something like 25,000.
As I said, it's supposedly already shipped to the Ukraine around a third, and of that remaining two-thirds, some of these are older systems which use weapons - warheads - which are technically prohibited, so there's some debate about whether it's even, you know - legal - possible legally speaking for the US to supply prohibited systems.
Now, of course, I personally think they will provide legally prohibited systems and they'll deny doing it, because that's what the US always does.
“As of December 2021 50,000 GMLRS rockets had been produced, with yearly production then exceeding 9,000 rockets.”
I don’t think its been announced how many rockets UA has received. So someone is just guessing?
Here is Lockheed Martin’s video announcing 50,000 deliveries.
Can produce 9,000 yearly. I assume more if demand warrants.

The Lockheed video was put out Feb of 2021. So another 11 months of production in 2021, say another 8,000 produced.
Then half of this year, say 4,500 produced.
So add 12,000. I’d estimate around 62,000 deliveries now.
Article from last month. That might be second largest inventory after the US.

Biden and his loyalists are intentionally destroying our economy and military and there is no political opposition.
