Russia may be able to increase artillery production in the next few years to about 2 million shells per year, roughly double the West’s previous expectations but still falls far short of Moscow’s needs for the war against Ukraine.

This was reported by Reuters with reference to an unnamed Western official.
According to the interlocutor, Russia is estimated to have fired 10 to 11 million shells in Ukraine last year.
They have such a difficult situation,” the official noted. “If you spent 10 million rounds last year, and you’re in the middle of a fight, and you can only produce 1-2 million rounds a year, I don’t think that’s a very strong position.”
He noted that other Russian investments in the defense sector could also allow Moscow to produce about 200 tanks a year, also double the preliminary Western estimates, the official said. But this is also far from what the Russian Federation needs after heavy losses in Ukraine.
