“Russia has millions of the old caliber shells for the old tanks”

Perhaps. But in what condition?

One in three shells will be defective.

For comparison: Just imagine being sent into battle with a rifle and ammunition, one-third of which consists of duds.

Not exactly morale-building!

Meanwhile, we are begging Korea to send us shells to backfill our current U.S. inventory, which has been expended in Ukraine.
