That was obviously the case when they started sending cluster munitions and DU shells.
Inventories had to be rock bottom for them to do that.
The lack of industrial capacity has been a matter of public record for a long time.
I thought that critical shell production equipment would have been mothballed.
Instead, they sold it for scrap.
Have you priced 7.62 NATO lately? Damn near $1/round! That's because we're sending it all to Ukraine!
And this is dumb ammo. Never mind the HIMARS we're sending them! Every HIMAR has some widget inside of them built in some warehouse in flyover America that either doesn't have the employees they need to make them or can't get a reliable supply chain of parts.
It's bad.
