      Rheinmetall can only make about 450,000 shells per year. They already have other orders from both Ukraine and other countries.

        For reference: The US recently talked about further increasing their production from the original ~25k/month planned for 2024. That’s 300k for the whole country.

        Are we actually pretending that no one else can produce shells and it’s all about a single German company?
