Russia's making 3 million shells a year, so the half a million the U.S. makes doesn't impress me. These are U.S. figures, not Russia's. Plus, U.S. is looking to replenish stock, while Russia is stockpiling, either in preparation for a summer offensive or in case of NATO entering the conflict.

Read the article I shared and check out the one recently done by CNN.
