  1. @suspicionofdeceit Welcome to war. Always a battle of attrition.

  2. Translation: we have a shitload. The 2005 report: The report details a stockpile of 5.5 million cluster munitions containing about 728.5 million submunitions.10 This figure, however, does not appear to be a full accounting of cluster munitions available to U.S. forces. In particular, the tally does not include cluster munitions that are part of the War Reserve Stocks for Allies (WRSA). Cluster munitions are particularly ubiquitous in the stores of U.S. ground forces. According to the DoD report, the Army has about 638.3 million cluster submunitions (88 percent of the total inventory) and the Marine Corps has about 53.3 million (7 percent). The report states, “Cannon and rocket artillery cluster munitions comprise over 80% of Army fire support capability,”13 and they “comprise the bulk of the Marine Corps artillery munitions.”

  4. We are only producing 14K 155mm shells per month. Going to 24K by end of '23. That's tiny. lol, 85K by 2028. That's how bad our supply chain is. (just terrible. They should have been speeding up production last year.)
