| Ammunition shortages in Ukraine - production, supply, & are Russia or the West running dry? - Perun |
| 2022-12-30 |
 [YouTube] In Ukraine, perhaps no weapon has caused more losses, or decided more engagements than the artillery. With contested airspace both side have turned to the big guns to support their operations - and both have consumed ammunition at a prodigious rate (albeit Russia many times faster than Ukraine). In this episode - I look at the question of production and supply and ask the question - are Russia or Ukraine going to run out of shells in 2023 |

| #3 Hey, wouldn't it be great if the both ran out of ammo and couldn't kill each other anymore? Well, wouldn't it? |

| #2 They should keep drawings and dummy samples for study of Ukrainian proctologists for the next century or so. |

| #1 ...I think the Russians will have a virtual shortage of shells; that is, they will have a sufficient quantity but will have so many unusable/defective rounds that they might as well be short. On the other hand, the Ukranians are staring down the barrel of an actual shortage of shells - the pipeline from the NATO countries is going to dry up, and even with new production starting, it won't be enough.
