If the differential in pre-war shell stockpiles and on-going shell production mattered as much as some people appear to think, Putin would be in Lviv by now, making deals with obsequious European leaders.

That hasn't happened. So what can be said? Perhaps that tube ammo isn't all that relevant a metric for military power any longer.

not sure why it should be surprising that an artillery-heavy force in the middle of an artillery-heavy war is producing more shells than air and naval focused forces that aren't in the middle of a land war.

Because NATO, EU, and US military officials are lying about it.

My follow-up will be even more shocking.

Thanks for reading.
