looks like i have a new fan that is following me now that ayden is now terrified of me and knows im not playing any more....
here is the deal russia at its current peake can not clear 30K a month in heavy artillery shell production, FACT
they currently have only one factory FACT
they are trying to get another up but they dont have the machinery for it... fact
of the 13 million shells they had they have fired over 10M.. fact
the 13 million were a mix of 152, 125, 122, 130, 110, 100, 85, and 57mm shells. they were all not heavy artillery... fact
of the shells they are making now many missfire or are of bad production resulting in many rounds not working or damaging the cannons. FACT
as long as they still have the plant operational they will have rounds. but its a single plant.. any explosion or accident will end production... and the SBU knows this.
the remaining rounds are in siberia and not in great shape, they have been sitting outside for 30 years and have to be refurbished,,, this takes time and will delay much of the ammo getting to the front.. fact
N. korea and china have not provided 1 artillery round, and will not. they will not back russia... fact
iran does not have a large production facility for ammo and bought what it needed mostly from china, russia, and ukraine for its 152s and 122. of them they really dont use the russian guns and keep them in storage.. the ones they have. fact
russia has bought rounds from some african countries, but the countries refuse to give a export permit for them. and turkey will not let them be shipped in. fact
russian guns have a max range of 25km (152mm 2S19), while the 155mm guns shoot 40KM.. fact...
in the last 10 years russia has made 12 artillery guns... fact
ukraine is getting in about 120-200 artillery guns per month right now from countries all over the world, and this is speeding up as it goes along. far more than losses.
while ru is struggling with a single plant western production that is ramping up every min of every day in....
