"General Dynamics' New 155-Millimeter Shell Factory Opens As War Cycle Kicks Into Higher Gear"

From https://www.zerohedge.com | BY TYLER DURDEN | JUN 01, 2024 |  https://tinyurl.com/v7hamtbp

"General Dynamics' new 155-millimeter artillery shell factory in Mesquite, Texas, is set to produce 30,000 shells per month, according to a New York Times report. This will provide crucial support to the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the first and second lines and bring the US Army closer to its 100,000 shell target goal by 2025. However, this goal remains far behind Russia's current 155mm shell production capacity of 250,000 rounds per month."

[. . . .] 

"Shell factories in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, currently produce about 36,000 155mm shells per month. Once the Mesquite plant reaches its full capacity of 30,000 shells per month, the US Army will be closer to achieving its goal of 100,000 shells per month by 2025." 

The Ukrainian army per month firing off about 150,000 155 mm rounds per month. Ukrainian expenditure of ammunition 50 % greater than the entire American capacity even with maximum production having been reached [not until 2025].

Everybody keep in mind that the highly industrialized American economy as it existed in 1941 gone forever it seems, never to come back. Arsenal of Democracy USA is not now!
