For instance, it costs a Western country $5,000 to $6,000 to make a 155-millimeter artillery round, whereas it costs Russia about $600 to produce a comparable 152-millimeter artillery shell

Another example is the new .277 Fury high pressure round.

Current AK ammo is estimated to cost the Russians $0.20 per round.

AR ammo costs the Pentagon approx $0.25, which isn’t too bad.

But the new hybrid case .277 Fury round is $4.00 for civilian bulk buys, which is approx double what the Pentagon pays.

So, yes, once again 10x the cost difference !

because Moscow is sacrificing safety and quality

in other words, a lot will explode before they ever make it to the gun ...

Russia helpfully killing its own troops, but hey, at least they're saving money on shell production! In Russia, that's all that matters!! LOL
