The country fired about 10 million rounds of artillery last year, but is on track to produce just two million rounds this year, The New York Times reported.
It’s the result of the west becoming deindustrialized while Russia retained state owned military industrial complex from the days of USSR. US is the only major industrial power in the west now, and industry is only 11% of US overall GDP. Looking at artillery shell production, which is the most important, US aim to go from making 14,000 155mm shells each month to 20,000 by the spring and 40,000 by 2025 That comes out to 480,000 shells a year. Meanwhile, Russia was already producing around a million shells before the war started. Military production has now ramped up significantly. Finally, cost of production in Russia is drastically cheaper than in the west:
“US is the only major industrial power in the west now, and industry is only 11% of US overall GDP”
Libs will resort to “texas has a higher GDP than even russia” and ignore this piece of information conveniently, dumbasses need to stay coping somehow.
It’s kind of funny how the inability to entertain the idea that their opponents might actually be competent makes the libs incapable of actually producing a viable strategy to advance their own interests.
Their favourite tactic is asking short handed ambiguous questions like they’ve recently discovered thinking. It’s quite a good tactic since it means they can be lazy bastards and YOU have to spell out the problems like they’re 6.
Tiring people, and you just wonder if they act like this in real life.
Idk this sounds like missile gap bs all over again.

Given all, that 7x higher production in Russia doesn’t seem that outlandish.

Texas is a giant gas station with CHUDS.
