I dont remember who made the post about quipping"Heh, I can do this all day" as blood pours from your mouth and ears, but this is the most pointedly I’ve ever seen that attitude. At least a hundred thousand Ukranians are dead, Steiner’s counteroffensive has been reduced to a fine slurry, the military has started kidnapping people off the streets, but the most mimosa-sipping people on the Earth are fully convinced that Gay Putler’s Orc Army will collapse any day now.
Allegedly, yes. But then, allegedly we’re also buying shells from DPRK. From what little I know about the situation in the factories that work for MoD (personal anecdotes), they’re trying to crank up production, but it is difficult due to staff shortages. Specifically, highly qualified types required for a lot of engineering in question
I could even believe that tbh, you can never have enough shells and DPRK have huge stockpiles of exact same shells Russian artillery use, so selling some older ones to be used would benefit both sides. It does not automatically mean Russia is unable to replenish their stock, but would give them wider safety margin.

Why not? After all:
hasnt russia been gearing up their production enough that they basically outproduce all nato countries right now?
