Artillery is the king of the battlefield—always has been and always will be. The war in Ukraine has shown us that in a wide-scale war, The US does not have enough artillery ammo. The consumption rates are huge, and we would run out of it fairly quickly.

This is true for all war stocks, not just artillery. Our defense industrial base could not currently support our country in a long conventional war.


I realize that...

But who is going to lure us into a long conventional war at this point? And where will it be fought?

In Russia artillery is the king, but in American arms air power is far more important. That's a big problem with American advisors when Ukraine doesn't have air superiority.

A flock of F16's is needed to make NATO tactics work.
