funny that I just saw some slop from ukraine saying ukraine's producing more artillery or some shit than all of europe. and funny enough I believe them since wunderwaffen production's so monitized it's surprising they've produced as much as they did prior to the war

And probably a lot less than before 2014, since they lost Donbas which is a heavy industry centre (they also tried to kill it with shock therapy after coup which was one of the factors of Donbas wanting autonomy).
