Good. Now do 200'000 more

Its good, but that's only about 3 months worth of shells :( They need a lot more orders...

[–] athos77@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

I don't think anyone is?

Let’s make it 150,001. How do I buy them one more?

I know you used to be able to donate directly to the military. Not sure how to do it anymore.
