Despite all the tens tens of billions of dollars, the countless “wonder weapons’ sent, the craploads of military hardware and munitions sent, and 7 Ukrainian mobilizations equating to roughly 450,000 men against about 200,000 Russian and militia/separatist troops and the Ukrainians still can’t push the Russians out and are taking 100,000s of thousands of KIA and casualties.
Maybe the West/NATO/EU/US/Uk can de-militarize themselves even more......?
“Presently, the US is decreasing its artillery ammunition stockpiles. In 2020, artillery ammunition purchases decreased by 36% to $425 million. In 2022, the plan is to reduce expenditure on 155mm artillery rounds to $174 million. This is equivalent to 75,357 M795 basic ‘dumb’ rounds for regular artillery, 1,400 XM1113 rounds for the M777, and 1,046 XM1113 rounds for Extended Round Artillery Cannons. Finally, there are $75 million dedicated for Excalibur precision-guided munitions that costs $176K per round, thus totaling 426 rounds. In short, US annual artillery production would at best only last for 10 days to two weeks of combat in Ukraine. If the initial estimate of Russian shells fired is over by 50%, it would only extend the artillery supplied for three weeks.
The US is not the only country facing this challenge. In a recent war game involving US, UK and French forces, UK forces exhausted national stockpiles of critical ammunition after eight days.”

LOL, like the US cannot produce more shells. Idiocy
"The US Army is looking for companies that can build up to 12,000 155 mm artillery shells a month."
