Well, the Russians are deporting or killing those who oppose them and giving the houses and property to Russians, so eventually they’ll get there.
“We had to invade, because they were trying to stop us from invading!”
Wait, you mean there’s a war going on, and combatants are firing off ammunition at a faster rate than it can be manufactured? Stop the presses! Alert the media! Guns can fire bullets faster than they can be manufactured!
The plant does however have very modern sections as well. Material handling systems in other parts look like they could quickly scale up rates. It may be just some of the core heavy equipment that is pretty old. Adding new core equipment may be a reasonably quick way to increase throughput. Just a guess from the available pictures. It is of course not the only munition facility. Maybe others would be a better fit to add the equipment required.
I am sure if the will and money is there, the production can increase dramatically.
At least Ukrainian ammo works.
And:
“Russia’s ammunition shortages “have likely worsened to the extent that extremely punitive shell-rationing is in force on many parts of the front,” the British defense ministry said in its latest intelligence update.”
Not to worry, comrade Kedikat. Brave Russian cannon fodder will fight with shovels!
There’s no sacrifice too great for the Rodina!
You know, it’s not at all helpful to keep blathering on how Ukraine is facing critical ammo shortages alternating between your not-particularly-well-informed speculation and repeating Kremlin disinformation. You’ve had Perun’s excellent and very well-researched video on the topic linked for you. The guy pretty clearly works somewhere in Australian military procurement (no idea as to whether on the govt side or the vender side) and he displays a very high degree of understanding of how western military procurement systems work. The tl;dr of that video is that the Ukrainian artillery ammo situation is difficult but probably manageable, and the Russian artillery ammo situation is also extremely difficult though it’s hard to say exactly to what degree due to limited info.
Your thoughts on how the Scranton plant might be able to increase production based on viewing a few pictures of the assembly line are, shall we say, not particularly valuable by comparison.
Dunning-Kruger, moron or volunteer Komrade For Putin.
Hard to tell.
Bit of an aside, but you never know, he might just have a fascination with the subject as a hobby and a day job of procurement in the civilian sector. Either way he really does know his shit. Before the war and his videos on the war his channel was a gaming channel where his videos might have 8,000 views, not 800,000. He’d make hour long videos with the same degree of depth and understanding as he does on his Ukraine war videos, only the topics would be things like the military/economic workings of an individual nation’s gameplay in Dominions 5. I’d never heard of Perun before the war, but I’ve played Dominions 3, 4, and 5 so I watched a few of his nation guides on Dominions 5. They’re really good.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, Mister Kotter! It’s a trick question. The answer is “All three”.
Has Kedikat been right about ANYTHING in here over the past year?
Well, there’s the generic “war is bad” thing. A controversial, brave stand to take.
Well, he’s kind of hemming and hawing on that, though; isn’t he?
I think it goes “war is bad so Ukraine should stop trying to resist the invasion”
If Ukraine would’ve done what Russia politely asked, none of this would’ve had to happen. Russia basically had no other choice. And of course it is really the US that forced Ukraine to not do what Russia asked so it is ultimately the US’s fault.
Komrads! What is this nonsense you are talking about? Russia did nothing wrong, you’re all victims of fake news of the collective West. Russia didn’t start the war, the West did!
“It’s they who have started the war. And we are using force to end it,” Putin said before an audience of lawmakers, state officials and soldiers who have fought in Ukraine.
Putin accused the West of launching “aggressive information attacks” and taking aim at Russian culture, religion and values because it is aware that “it is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield.”
He also accused Western nations of waging an attack on Russia’s economy with sanctions — but declared but they hadn’t “achieved anything and will not achieve anything.”
Ukraine just needed to lay back and think about borschtball.
Yep, Ukraine might even find they enjoy it.
A strong argument could be made that Ukraine has always been a part of Russia . . . not as strong as whatever country Kedikat lives in has always been a part of Russia though.
Western media accurately reporting on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and war crimes they’ve committed there is defined by Putin as “aggressive information attacks”.
No wonder “1984” is so popular in Russia.
