Am I understanding correctly that Usa army has 402 millions artillery shells 155mm just laying around as reserve?

Submunitions. Sub-munitions.
Things inside a munition.

How many submunitions does one 155mm have?
Doesn't matter, they're SUB munitions and Ukraine has no submarines
No anon I think submunitions means parts of a munition and not submarines
Because the ground and airforce has them
I'm pretty sure it means that they're submissive and you need to spank them and call them a naughty girl to activate them
No anon you're confused, you're thinking of $5 foot long subs, these are subcutaneous munitions.
They haven't been $5 in 10 years except for occasional limited promotions
It's honestly insane, they're almost on par price wise with a really good wegmans sub that's like 2x as big.
Google it you lazy tard
yeah
It's way more than that. At least 10 billion of those across all branches at all levels. I swear to God we have mountains of artillery hidden.
Corruption
>souce hidden
VERY curious
It's a times article

the TL;DR is: we're holding but we need more shells and f-16s
>Why aren't you helping us
>Standing in front of a Bradley
Hmmm
I think it's about quantity of the weapons provided
is that destiny on the right?
His brother, density
some dude called destiny des tiny the other day and now I cant stop laughing whenever that name is brought up.
>so smol
>NO
>Ukraine couldn't POSSIBLY be having a SINGLE problem, no matter how minute!
>You are a SHILL!
god lmao its like fricking reddit
dude there's a reason zelenskyy himself is saying they *need* the aid package to pass in washington. they need the fricking equipment. sitting here trying to say they don't does nothing but make it less likely public support will be high for said aid package because in their words
>noe this is vatnik cope
Avdiivka status?
Reportedly it's between 12-15 billion of roughly that type. The problem is one you start moving it everyone knows where caches are at. The country has huge ammo stockpiles everywhere. It can't be invaded.
let me get this right, this is publicly available information? there's no opsec concern? is it some strategy of using falsehoods as a flex or what? is there anyone left in the us military that even knows what to do with any of those shells?
Most militaries have to hide their amount of munitions so the enemy doesn't know how long you're going to be able to fire for.
The USA could keep firing from now to forever and not run out.
first world nations have higher levels of transparency than turdies. it's understood that when taxpayer money is spent, it needs to be accounted for generally, if not explicitly and the expenditures made public.
>Corrupt shithole nations
>Boast and pretend to be stronger than they are, brag about superweapons that don't exist/work
>America and, presumably, other non-corrupt nations, (although I admit I only know about the US military being murican)
>Don't tell anyone about the really nasty stuff they have because they don't need to posture like apes
The real significant thing about the US isn't that stockpile, it's the fact the factories that make said shells, Abrams, helicopters, etc are only running at like 5% capacity and can have production ramped up exponentially within a month or two if needed.
>Don't tell anyone about the really nasty stuff they have because they don't need to posture like apes
It's also unironically because I think the US learned a funny lesson during the Cold War, especially post-Vietnam with a bunch of naysaying/skeptical/outright hostile leftoids and their movements reee-ing and seething over new US weapons being "inhumane" or otherwise nightmarishly cruel, leading to the public opinion on them souring at the idea of even fielding them, let alone using them.
It's why we stepped away from cluster munitions despite spending a lot of time on DPICM, it's why we don't use napalm or any derivatives, it's why we don't even play with the idea of de-foliation, period, anymore. Hell, look at the screeching from that time we dropped a MOAB in anger on some goatfrickers.
For the US, there's as much strategic utility against foreign enemies in keeping the capabilities close-to-vest as there is in keeping screeching morons in their own country from trying to torpedo US military dominance.
I'd wager that it's even more of a threat today, with all the weirdly thirdie-simping/global-south-loving weirdos across American institutions and industry, and now it's hardly as simple as it being only leftoids to worry about.
>is there anyone left in the us military that even knows what to do with any of those shells?
They still have pilots that can put precision guided munitions on targets while flying complex, multi-national air operations.
At night.
So I'd feel pretty confident there's people that know how to artillery in the military, at least.
Also, use different picrels for your moronic thirdie-posts, /misc/gay.
>we have this many shells, try us buddy
Opsec is meaningless when your stated capabilities already present overmatch and the claims are credible.
There are likely many, many, many more.
Never mind think I found the answer on how many submunitions they have
>The base bleed mechanism reduces the submunition count to 72
So 402 divided by 72 means America has 5.58 million 155mm
All of those DPICM should be dropped on Donetsk children.
