Rheinmetall CEO confirmed they have reached their production target of 700,000 155mm shells in 2024

in 2025, Rheinmetall should be able to produce roughly 2k shells a day, as much as Ukraine fired early this year in total
further production expansion from BAE, Nammo and others is also important, if Ukraine would be able to fire 3,000 shells a day or 5,000 shells a day
I’m excluding US production rate for now because its uncertain how deliveries will continue, but seeing Trump’s decisions in previous weeks , looks like the military industrial lobby will likely have him sell arty shells to Europe
US will not send any aid paid from US budget , but that doesn’t mean defense industry cant export more to Ukraine by itself, in fact, Republicans would even encourage it ,LOL
with US production added, total Western 155mm shell production rate should easily reach 6-8k shells per day in June 2025, and i haven’t even counted Korea or Turkey yet
Nice! Germany is doing a lot for Ukraine, glad to see it!
Here’s hoping Ukraine is delivering them just as quickly to Russia
In WWII production, the general rule for American factories was “6 months to the first prototype unit out of the factory, 6 months of learning to produce it efficiently, and then only limited by the amount of raw goods provided to the factory.”
Ukraine may have overcome the shortage of shells from previous years.
Up to half the qty delivered might have been from the joint ammunition iniative organized by Czech goverment. The rest is domestic production I guess. Since factory capacity and supply chain have been established now there might be more coming in Q1.
a lot of this is the Czech shell imitative, so bought from other sources, this initiative is almost complete, deliveries will go down soon as all has to come from production again. and new orders still need to be placed for Ukraine.
Rheinmetal’s stock price has gone up multiple times more than the actual products it’s produced from its own catalyst, the Ukraine conflict. This is like yelling fire in a crowded theatre, and while people are trampling each other escaping, you take ownership of the theatre.
