Russia produces 3 times more shells than US and Europe for Ukraine war
Russia produces almost three times as much artillery ammunition as the United States and Europe combined, according to Western intelligence estimates. CNN and representatives of Western intelligence agencies reported this.
According to NATO intelligence estimates regarding Russian defence production, the Russian Federation is capable of producing about 250,000 artillery shells per month, or about 3 million per year.
Together, the United States and Europe can only produce about 1.2 million rounds of ammunition a year to be sent to Ukraine, a European intelligence official told the TV channel.
Officials say that Russia is now firing 10,000 shells a day, while Ukraine can only manage 2,000. Representatives of a European intelligence report that the ratio is even worse in some parts of the contact line.
"The number one issue that we’re watching right now is the munitions because that’s where Russia really is mounting a significant production advantage and mounting a significant advantage on the battlefield," the NATO representative added.
The source of the TV channel says artillery factories in the Russian Federation are working around the clock. In addition, Russia imports ammunition from Iran and North Korea.
According to Western estimates, Iran sent at least 300,000 artillery shells last year, "probably more than that." And North Korea provided at least 6,700 ammunition containers that contained millions of shells.
Russia "put everything they have in the game," an intelligence official said. "Their war machine works in full gear," the source added.
At the same time, according to US and Western officials, the build-up of Russian weapons is still insufficient to meet its needs.
In addition, Western intelligence agencies do not expect Russia to make significant progress on the battlefield in the short term.
Officials say there is a limit to Russian production capacity, adding that Russian plants are likely to hit peak production sometime next year.
