@lepetitroquet9410 500k per year is a theoretical maximum production output, not the current production output. This sourced from the CEO, the same guy who says they can ramp up tank production and even place a factory in ukr, always followed by "if we have the appropriate funds". He also put out a lot of price tags of around 80-100 billions "to make it a reality".
Quoted from Reuters:
"The 51 billion euros in the defence budget will not suffice to purchase everything that is needed. And the money in the 100 billion euro special funds has already been earmarked - and partially been eaten up by inflation," he said.
Obviously he's asking for more money.
I hope you know how ridiculous this is, the guy is trying to profit off the war. If you compare this to the amount of Germany willing to put out as "aid" for ukr, you know how much of BS he's selling. For comparison, the US, current top producer in the whole western sphere, produced 24k shells a month, up from 16k shells a month before the war. And only able to reach 84k shells in 2028. Yet he's claiming to be able to produce around 43k a month (500k a year) TODAY.
The million shells act was based on the idea of chipping in all the remaining shells, both for training and defense and replace it with cash, in hope of producing more in the future to replenish it. Many EU country had outright rejected the idea and it has so far been a failure.
But even if we believe his magical number, 43k shells each month is still only worth 7 days of fighting at 6k fired each day. For comparison, rus fired 20-30k each day.
