Not to be confused with "FNG".Speaking of 155 mm shells. It seems that production has ramped everywhere.
I recently run on this info about the Spanish ammo factory FMG (Fabrica de Municiones de Granada). Apparently they have its 155 mm ammo line running at 100% capacity (including night shifts) for at least 2023 and 2024. (autotranslated from Spanish)

So amazingly impressive! What an outstanding young woman. Stories like this are a humbling reminder that my 'problems' are trifling, in reality. And for that, I am grateful

The arrival of a quarter million Russians from Sept 2022 onwards might have influenced things.It's interesting that the Georgian Government has been relatively "western" until all of a sudden (like within the past year), they start leaning toward Moscow.
Aren't they all draft dodgers?The arrival of a quarter million Russians from Sept 2022 onwards might have influenced things.
