  1. About ammo.. this war actually exposed a huge problem with NATO artillery ammunition standard. It's 155mm sounds like a standard but there are different kinds of 155 for different howitzger manufacturers. Hopefully it'll be resolved

  2. Don't forget Germany....even though they aren't sending Taurus, they are the biggest military and $ donor in Europe. So thank you, Germany

  3. @chriscarlino5561  Well, couple of IMO comments: 1. I don't think we know exactly how many they produce. Clearly not enough because they turned to NKorea for ammo help. 2. Even if they produce more, it's not of the same quality as NATO standards. Quality means a more precise shot, which means you end up using less to begin with. 3. USA (and Western) production is ramping up exponentially as we speak. It takes time. Why wasn't production high to begin with? Because USA and West did not plan for a 3+ year war involving personal and equipment count unlike anything we've seen since ww2 (and the frontline stretching thousands of km). Russia did. They've been preparing for this since at least 2014. This point actually destroys anyone's claims about "aggressive NATO threatening russia". NATO was so "aggressive" that it didn't even have enough ammunition production capacity to keep up with a monthly demand.
