Russian defence production

I’ve complained about NATO not ramping up ammunition production…

Actually some good news

The Pentagon’s original goal was to build 85,000 of the rounds per month by fiscal 2028. It’s currently on pace to reach 100,000 per month by FY25, LaPlante said, and at least 57,000 a month by spring 2024.

The current rate, he noted, is 28,000 per month — about double the rate from half a year ago.

…

Last year’s Pentagon funding bill included almost $1.5 billion to increase the Army’s production capacity for the 155mm shell. Another $18 billion will be spent over the next 15 years to grow the service’s organic industrial base.

And

Poland ramping up massive ammo production.

Of course, you can be a Neo-Boydian and believe magic drones will replace an artillery stonk like genius racist Telenko predicts.

Budd of the week

And hope your children never go to war, especially for the Nazis

No book of the week because the last two I’ve read are shite.

Sorry, I'm sick and stressed this week, barely working.
