    For example, the U.S. produces 14k of 155 shells a month - which Ukraine uses that same amount in 48 hours.
    That ran the news cycle about a month ago on CNN. Hopefully adjustments are already taking place.

    US munitions manufacturers adjusted their manufacturing facilities to match government buying. So they cannot just flip a switch and crank up. They don't have enough employees and in many cases enough manufacturing capacity. This can't be fixed quickly.
