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