What I posted is a clip from the 60 minutes interview with a Pentagon official responsible for procurement who plainly states that US lags behind Russia in ammunition production. This is actual news, not sure why you keep trying to pretend otherwise. Wonder what your agenda is here. 🤔
That isn’t what you did, and you know it. It’s someone else speaking over the video footage. Someone who couldn’t even spell the interviewee’s name right.
Nothing that I said is factually incorrect. Ukraine is currently firing 110k shell a month:
At the start of March, Ukraine was reportedly firing 110,000 artillery shells a month, and requested allies to supply enough to bring that number up to 250,000. According to British analysts, Ukraine’s artillery usage would exhaust the entire UK stockpile in eight days.
US is hoping to produce 20k shells a month at some point:
U.S. officials say they hope soon to be producing 20,000 shells per month from U.S. plants, rising to 40,000 within two years – a programme that requires new factories, new machine tools and a desperate search for staff in an environment where arms firms find vacancies difficult to fill.

Meanwhile, here’s the number of shells Russia was producing monthly before the war started, this has since increased
So, once again, I have to ask you what you think you’re disputing here.
