Is there a projectile famine in Russia: what turns out if you count the remains of ammunition

According to Estonian intelligence, there are 4 million artillery shells in Russia. Military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko proposes not to be scared of this amount, but simply to sit and calculate . . . The other day, Estonian intelligence reported that there were 4 million shells in Russia. He looked - interesting, especially given the fact that the famous Estonian intelligence reported. But today, almost a week later, I was starting to get this issue.

Like, 4 million, how much it is! That is, there is no projectile famine? Well, let's understand. To begin with, if you believe the data of Estonian intelligence, what is 4 million shells? This is an average of 330,000 shots per month. Or, on average, 11,000 shots per day. And here the question arises. And how many shots did the artillery do in March 2022? How many in August 2022? How many in January 2023? The answer is simple. On average, 60, 40 and 20 thousand shots per day.

From this we conclude whether 11,000 shots a day - is a projectile hunger or not? But an important point is another, namely, what is these 4 million shells? These are the remains of warehouses and storage centers in Russia. Remains that became as, why? Because it was inappropriate to send them first. Why? Because most of them were stored in a poor condition and have lost their use in general. From this we draw appropriate conclusions. Banal mathematics and no secrets.
