Russia's Artillery Munition Production 3 Times Higher Than in US, Europe - Reports

Russia seems to be three times ahead of the United States and European countries combined in the production of artillery ammunition, and this could have a significant impact on the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine, CNN reported Monday, citing NATO intelligence estimates.

Russia's production capacity amounts to 250,000 artillery munitions per month or about 3 million annually, while the US and Europe collectively can manufacture only 1.2 million munitions per year to send to Ukraine, a senior European intelligence official told CNN.

"The outcome in Ukraine depends on how each side is equipped to conduct this war," a senior NATO official told the broadcaster.
