Front-line Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbas region say it seems like Russia has "unlimited" artillery shells to throw at them — while they remain worried about running out by the end of the year.

A new BBC video follows troops in the area, operating older Soviet-era tanks and firing at Russian enemies just 500 meters away. As the soldiers run to safety in trenches, they tell BBC it feels like Russia has been firing nonstop in the area.

"They have an unlimited amount of shells. They have entire warehouses full of them," one soldier, identified as Dima, said. "They could shoot all day, and they'll never run out of shells."

Quick Joe! Send them another $100B!

I read in the mid 80’s the old Soviet Union had 300 million 152mm artillery shells in storage.

300 million.

I read that China has at least than many it’s willing to give to Russia. Given this slog, those numbers are a game changer.

so then why can’t Russia capture Bahkmut?

if Russia is so “dominant”?

Seems like the solution is to destroy the machine that shoots the shells, problem solved.

Destroy the artillery piece and you have no way to shoot those 300 million shells.

Your question assumes something that may not be true…

Amen

The Trannies running our Defense Department are learning THE HARD WAY that increasing production involves a bit more than picking up the phone and calling the president of Raytheon.

Probably should have checked on the above before starting the war.

Don’t worry, the Biden General Store will open in time in the morning. Good for overnight delivery, also. Kind of like door dash.

“Quick Joe! Send them another $100B!”

What the Trannies in the White House are learning is that it is FAR EASIER to print money, than to print artillery shells. So even another $100B won’t help for another couple of years, at least.

“Destroy the artillery piece and you have no way to shoot those 300 million shells.”

Actually it’s likely more than one ‘piece’, so yeah, destroy 1000 of them, and they’ll just send over another 2000.

Not so easy...

In World War II Russian moved entire factories hundreds of miles east beyond the Ural Mountains and out of the reach the Germans. It was there they produce massive amounts of tanks and munitions. Russia will win this war with the Ukraine.

Putin/Ruzzia really stepped in it this time!

It’s all over for them now!

Walls are closing in!
