They give some different numbers that are very indicative.
- US supplied Ukraine with more than 2 million 155-mm shells in the past two years
- The price of shells in US went from $1,200 to $8,400
- From October to December inclusive, US supplied Israel with 57 thousand 155-mm shells
- US produced 14 thousand shells per month in 2022, and they want to increase it to 80 thousand by 2025
- Today, it comes out to 28 thousand a month
- Americans themselves, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Israel all need shells.
- Production volumes in Europe are not named, but it is indicated that they are significantly less than the US
- Russia fires 10,000-30,000 shells per day
