yep we all thought they would roll over ukraine in days , but are they playing a game sticking in cannon fodder and old equipment .
US will need years to build up there arsenal of stinger missilesetc , germany down to a couple of days ammo . american reserves of ammo depleted and cannot make enough to keep up with daily consumption , Factory making artillery shells that are getting fired at an average of 7700 a day can only make 14000 a month ..

" the front lines have hardened during the frigid winter months, the ground war has become a bloody, artillery-heavy fight, with Ukrainian forces firing an average of 7,700 artillery shells a day, according to the Ukrainian military, greatly outpacing the U.S. prewar production rate of 14,000 155-mm rounds a month. In the first eight months after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion, Ukrainian forces burned through 13 years worth of Stinger antiaircraft missiles and five years of Javelin missiles, according to
Raytheon, which produces both weapons."
