> Fwiw the US has given about 25% of it's 155mm shells to Ukraine… Which doesn’t matter. When I was on active duty (during the Cold War) at the end of the fiscal year they would send us out with obscene amounts of ammo to use because if it didn’t get used the budget would get cut for the next year. Don’t you worry about the ammunition manufacturers, they are doing fine.

Define "obscene amounts". Ukraine shoots like 6.000 155mm rounds per day. US manufacturers can't produce that much, US government is currently doing market survey for potential new manufacturers, because Army reserves were severely depleted.
