The #Pentagon has invested $5.3 billion of congressionally appropriated money since #Russia’s February 2022 invasion of #Ukraine to boost #US-produced munitions for the besieged nation and replenish stockpiles, mostly for the Army, according to new figures released Friday.
American industry was making only 14,000 155mm shells a month when the invasion began, but has just hit the 40,000 mark and on a path to producing 100,000 a month by the end of 2025.
