Europeans boast that they are already producing much more than America alone with their joint efforts.
By 2025, the EU plans to equal the Russian Federation in terms of the amount of ammunition produced . This was stated by the EU Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, in an interview with La Tribune .
According to him, this year the countries of the European Union intend to increase their production capacity to 1.7 million shells per year. And already in 2025, Europe plans to reach the level of 2.5 million shells per year.
“We accelerated the production of ammunition. In March 2023, we produced 500,000 shells a year in Europe and were already better at this than the Americans, who produced only 300,000. But since then, we have doubled this capacity,” said the commissar.
How many shells does Russia produce?
At the end of May, the Western mass media published information that Russia supposedly produces 3-4 times more artillery shells than Western countries: 4.5 million versus 1.3 million. However, this information turned out to be incorrect, as it is based on a false interpretation of the data.
As Ruslan Leviev , the head of the analytical group Conflict Intelligence Team, explained , the British publication Sky News, which disseminated this data, compared different nomenclature of projectiles. So, for Russia, all types of artillery shells were taken into account, which gave 4.5 million shells per year. And NATO countries included only one caliber of projectiles in the statistics – 155 mm, which gave a modest 1.3 million projectiles.

Europa is producing double the amount of shells compared to America. Trump., do you copy?
Sir Veth it falls on deaf ears. The idiot doesn’t hear anything except his own idea of self superiority.
Biden do you copy???!
If the Occupiers have so many shells why are they negotiating with the Norks for an additional 5 million shells? That’s 27,000 shells a day for a year.
We’ll see about that.
I don’t like this arrogance from the Europeans.
Yes, we might be producing more dumb shells, but who is producing the much more effective guided missiles at scale? Not us.
Yes, both continents should increase production.
But saying we are “better than America” is too much credit for ourselves.
Also, we are talking about plans and often we end up falling short.
