So much winning by Russia!

Better we find that out now instead of when the balloon goes up.

My own thought was that by striving to resupply these barrels, we are also invigorating our production capacity as well. For all the criping about our "giving" money to Ukraine, the fact is that much of the aid we Americans have "given" to Ukraine has been spent in America, employing Americans, and keeping American plants open and productive. That goes not only for arty tubes but MANPADS from Raytheon/Lockheed, shell factories in Oklahoma, and so on.
It's a crunchy world. Keeping that tooling and experience rolling matters.

EXACTLY!!!!! And some now want to stop all that, thus depriving those Americans of jobs, damaging US Defense capability and generally fucking over the Ukrainians.
Another thing from the Ukraine war has been all the real world intelligence and combat lessons. Invaluable stuff.
From what I understand the issue has been known for some time. I remember reading/hearing about the barrel wear issue has been known since 2022.
