During a recent campaign event named “Everything for victory!”, Putin said “success is achieved by the side that can react quickly... the side that does it quicker wins the battle”. It took place in the military-industrial city of Tula, arguably the center of Russian arms manufacturing, with more than 10 companies producing weapons non-stop. This includes NPO Splav, the only manufacturer of multiple rocket launcher systems in Russia. Tula is the perfect example of how, at the heart of Russia's military production capability are its state-owned manufacturing facilities. 6 large plants encompass a wide range of capabilities, from the production of traditional artillery shells to the assembly of advanced munitions systems. These facilities are strategically dispersed across the country, and most of them were inherited relics from the Soviet Union. Today they account for 70% of all Russia’s arms production.

During the Cold War era, the Soviet Union established a robust industrial infrastructure to support its military ambitions. Factories churned out vast quantities of munitions, positioning the Soviet military as the formidable force. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia faced economic turmoil and a decline in military spending. In 1995, just 4 years after Russia’s first democratic presidential election, Russia’s arms manufacturers produced barely one-ninth the military output they had in 1990, and by the spring of 1995, Russian authorities had declared more than 200 defense enterprises or institutes financially insolvent, and many more were on the verge of bankruptcy. Weapons were already Russia’s largest manufactured export, and their efforts to switch companies from producing military goods to creating civilian goods had largely been unsuccessful.

Who else remembers the news headlines “Russia is running out of tanks, ammo and rockets” since April 2022?
At the time they were.
The Russians got a lot of artillery ammunition from North Korea
NATO officer
its facinating to see what can change when you pour more of your countries resources into military
They are running out of tanks and afvs. The only reason they haven't is they're spending their Soviet inheritance. It's a nice trick but you can only use it once. If you want to learn more about it look at the recent loss data it's a lot of older Soviet era rolling stock. And if you cut it up month by month you can see it's getting older and older.
As far as artillery shells if they weren't running out why would they bought all that s*** from North Korea?
The reason why Russia can produce 3million artillery shells per year is because they didn't charge 90k USD for a bag for bushings.
No but they paid for 5 million bushings and got 1 million. Who knew corruption could be diverse yet so universal.

I don't think so. People in the USA don't pay any attention to the outside world at all.
Russia using WW2 tanks is in fact pretty stupid.
@@AL-lh2ht Having no tanks is much dumber. Look at the stockpiles of nations. No allied nation has a large supply of modern tanks, they are just too expensive. This is why during war time everyone resorts to quantity over quality to win. The USSR lost 3x in tanks during the Battle of Kursk, but the Germans were far outnumbered by the sheer number of tanks and since Berlin was 1700km away then they couldn't simply resupply.
Russian MIC works for the state; Western MIC works for shareholders and politicians. One seeks to provide maximum cost-effectiveness; the other seeks long-term contracts and maximum profit margins.

One point is that, during the "quiet" periods, Russia kept their old military production plants just ticking over so that the expertise was retained. e.g. Uralvagonzagod kept only one tank line going at low production rates, and built trucks on the other lines. As soon as demand rose, the trucks were hived off to another plant so that all lines went to tank production.
Unlike the west, where they just shut the whole thing and outsource everything...Putin's smart.
That's Soviet/Russian doctrine in a nutshell. A factory in my city used to produce missile guidance units. With the fall of the USSR they started to produce civilian electronics, with only one part of a factory still producing aiming modules. Now, as I've heard, they are producing mostly guidance modules again since that's more important.
but how come russia is managing to bring artillery within ~60-80km range of targets despite ukraine/US have dominated through drones and ATACMS/HIMARS!?!
@@mi1400 If you think that then you really need different sources, the war is not really going in favor of Ukraine, it is going to end like Armenia, where the media made the people believe that Amenia was winning and videos from Azerbaijan were being censored.

I spent nearly a decade in artillery and was told in the end that tube artillery was on it's way out and rockets where the new 'it'. Still hard to believe that old school artillery can turn the tide of battle.
They are two very different system, so suggesting that one replaces the other doesn't make much sense.
One 155mm artillery projectile costs ~$1000, maybe up to $3000. A ballistic precision rocket, by comparison, is easily $100k+. While the latter is better in basically every way, it's essentially a quality vs quantity question, and sometimes the extra quality isn't so important, so you just want extreme quantities. So, they serve very different strategic purposes.
It does not. But it is and will be important anyway. Just like tanks.
is not "old school" if the shell travels for 50 miles.
millions of rounds matter.
In 100 years, artillery will still be the king of battlefield.
NOTE: There are CONFLICTING reports here. According to a report from CTI those 3 million artillery shells include MLRS rockets , and 1.2 million 152mm artillery shells BUT on the OTHER Hand CNN reported they spoke directly to Pentagon officials that stated it was literally 3 million artillery shells though, so it's conflicting reports.
I don't think munitions from Iran and North Korea qualify as an "outside aid". Neither Iran nor N. Korea can afford to provide "aid" to Russia. Instead, they are getting cash, various concessions, credits and other benefits from Russia in exchange for their shells.
"3*(his edit#1) million munitions of other type including [etc.]"
Go figure, good old trick Russia (and other people) also use when counting (12000-23000) tank
Because Russian leadership is smarter than clowns leading the West.
This is correction I was looking for, I would like to point out that the most recent US army numbers given to Congress point out that the Army plants will reach the 100k 155mm shells a month sooner than expected next year, that means 1.2Million of just the 155mm for the US alone, that is enough to feed every Ukrainian cannon easily, with an European step up, it will out produce Russia by late next year easily.
If I understand correctly, Russians count short-range rocket launcher tubes (e. g., MLRS), tank guns and mortars as artillery, so that does add up to 3 million artillery equivalent rounds produced in Russia. Westerners make a distinction between rockets, so the clarification is helpful. Thanks.
Artillery was, is, and will remain as the God of War. That is why here in South Korea, Dept of Defense has nickname of "Dept of Artillery". Both South and North Korea army are indulging on artillery firepower seriously. They are crazy on artillery firepower.
Just as a side note as someone stated earlier, Roscosmos, Russian state space Company got one of American chemist & astronauts (Tracy Dyson) to the ISS last month and brought one back (Laurel O'Hara). Plus they launched another Angara 5.
That’s because the US is funding spaceX instead of NASA projects, which is years behind schedule and actually going nowhere.
@@stap1er the reason they’re funding space x and not nasa is due to cost effectiveness, Space X launches every week and for the majority of the time is able to recover their boosters. Look at the price of SLS, Look at the Price of the Delta 4 Heavy. Space X is going somewhere considering they already have launched 6-7 missions to the ISS, and launch multiple times a week- they have hit such a fast laumch cadance that we know they’re capable of launching 3 times under 24 hours (because they have already done it.) in fact, Crew Dragon is the only natively made capsule that flies to the iss. Where is dream liner? Where is orion? Where is dream chaser?
...and then during some wars in Netherlands "back in time" there were some "joint comitees" supervising safety of dams and windmills (doing the drainage pumping) while soldiers of both sides happily killed each other on battlefields... And, oh, BTW, yes - that "joint" means exactly that, military engeeners frm BOTH sides of the conflict.
But I digress here, and, erm... what's yer point? If any, that is...?
@@MrKotBonifacy my point is you're too dumb to understand context.
US rejected new contract with Roscosmos for new engine in 2019. Thats why US astronauts need russian rockets to reach ICS 😂😂😂

@@elmerkilred159 have you actually looked at the size of russia? Thats a LOT of territory to defend.
I reckon that if the USA were subjected to drone and missile attacks they would get through as well.
1 reason. In Europe, we stopped making ammunition and, crucially, ceased the means of production. Us Brits were disgusted by the gradual closing of all domestic means of production. One thing we used to do well. Although, of course, we have interests overseas to create what we need. It's not ideal.
the west's 'interests overseas' they rely on are the stockpiles of 2nd and 3rd world nations which they strongarm and, in the case of countries like pakistan, outright overthrow the governments of in order to procure the goods they need. It's the same way america has 'interests' in syria. these cost cutting measures are coming back to haunt the west -- there are only so many countries that can be pressured to send aid for the west.
Having learned about the absolute state of British military readiness, this whole Ukraine debacle must really be twisting the knife.

AFAIK, already in the years of WW2, Russia developed technology of producing nitrocellulose (white gunpowder) from lumber (via paper). Cotton gunpowder is higher quality and does not require intermediate stages, but cotton is not necessary for Russia to keep producing gunpowder.
Similar modern research is afoot in Finland, which can't grow cotton because of the climate alone, but has a handle on paper and pulp production like no other. While feasible, the process is tricker because of higher levels of impurities in wood-based cellulose. Interestingly, eucalyptus trees look most promising, fast-growing and combustible as they are.

To put this in perspective, the First World War used between 900 million and 1.2 billion rounds of artillery ammunition. Most of the artillery used during that war was also much larger than modern artillery, as they did not have jdams/fabs for delivery of large rounds with enough capacity to destroy fortifications.
A lot of WW1 artillery was 75mm light howitzers, that basically were used in the same way that we use mortars now
@@mrvwbug4423 True, but there was also a lot of very heavy artillery that is no longer seen. Another stat to put modern artillery usage into perspective. During the battle of Vimy Ridge, the Canadians used over 1 million rounds fired from 1100 guns in 2 weeks. That amount is only used every couple of months across the entire front in the Russo-Ukranian war.
Yea, point of contention is use of the word most. Some ww1 artillery was of a larger than 155 calibre.
@@ironmantooltimebut then we talk about a few hundred shels at the very largest side.
In ukraine almost all shells are 155mm (there are some 105mm). There are also 120 and 80mm mortor that is not counted as artilery.
Consider that the 80mm would be more powerfull than the 75mm from ww1 and the 120mm would be more powerfull than pretty much any field gun at that time.
That's the difference between State own Military Production and Businessman Own. In another note: Nowadays the term "authoritarian" can applies to USA and Europe too 8:44
Exactly macron and trudeau are more authoritarian than most ex communist state. The usa is still a free country for the most part. But its changing fast .
It doesn't really take much thinking to realise that a massive industrialised nation with lots of resources like Russia is capable of manufacturing so much artillery shells...
But its something that completely alluded the officials that run the UK, US and EU. And all of our media outlets. Tells us all we need to know
I agree, I think that we generally don't remotely have any clue what a group of people/resources the size of a nation's surplus can do when set to one purpose. I think the numbers are just too large for our minds to remotely conceptualize. It's just staggering what even a 'small' country could actually do when they split off even a small chunk of the non-subsistence/bare bones economy (population and resources) to a single purpose.
It still take more thinking than average murican can produce
3 million isnt even taht much. In 1916 for example, Germany produced a total of 36 Million shells per year. Russia doesnt even produce 10% of that
It's about the land that international corporations have bought. from German banks to US corporations. Everyone has their fingers on Ukrainian soil and that's why the war is not over. The West doesn't want to lose its land. and the Ukrainian farmers are dying at the front. And then another farm can be bought up, they come home when they can, and work as slaves for western companies for 160 euros. Hurrah , Through complicated association agreements, the crème de la crème of the world's largest capital owners find themselves as lenders to the Ukrainian agricultural giants. These include Vanguard Group, Goldman Sachs, Banque National de Paris, Kopernik Global Investors, Norges Bank Investment and a number of others.
As creditors of “Kernel Holding”, the Danish banking group ING Bank, the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and the Austrian Raiffeisen secure influence on crop yields. Behind “UkrLandFarming”, which has to service external loans worth an estimated $1.6 billion, are the US fund Gramercy LLC, the Export-Import Bank of the USA and Deutsche Bank.[12] The Ukrainian fields are therefore at the mercy of the international network of capital managers via lease agreements and lenders.
The recent history of the sell-off of Ukrainian black earth soils can be impressively demonstrated using the example of the US private equity fund “NCH Capital”. Founded in 1993 by George Rohr and Moris Tabacinic, the two collected well-capitalized investors for Ukrainian and Russian agricultural goods and benefited early on from the privatization rush after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The money flowed to tax havens such as Cyprus and the Cayman Islands via offshore companies. “NCH Capital” played a key role in land reform in Ukraine when its CEO George Rohr attended high-level meetings between the Ukrainian President and the US Secretary of Commerce in 2015, a year after Maidan. These ultimately led to Kiev agreeing to the IMF reform plan, which subsequently led to the liberalization of the land market.[13]
To secure its business, “NCH Capital” has some of the most important pension funds in the USA behind it, which are invested in the company. Across industries, these include the funds of Dow Chemicals, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, Merseyside, Honeywell International, Harvard University, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and many others.[14] They all benefit from the fertility of Ukrainian land.and that is the truth, the Ukrainians are not dying for freedom but for western corporations who are afraid of losing their ground,,,thanks for this democracy hurrah hurraaa,, ,

@@Ludak021wrong war mate 😂
@@Ludak021what are you babbling about
The accuracy modern artillery means that what took hundreds of rounds to achieve in ww1 can be done with a a time on target salvo of 4 or 5 rounds from a modern gun. Advances in targeting, fusing, and the radar analysis of actual trajectory of shells fired to compare them to the calculated trajectory, which can be corrected before the next round is fired to zero in, and result in 6 rounds fired in less than a minute all arriving within a few feet of the target. And the gun that fired them has already scooted away to avoid counterbatterry fire.
I should clarify, that is what MODERN artillery can do. Much of Russia's vaunted artillery is literally ww1 and ww2 era scrap metal that can't hit the broad side of a barn, from INSIDE the barn. The Russians still have to fire hundreds of rounds to eventually blunder into their target, which is why despite having access to all those vaunted russian stockpiles, the Ukrainians are still thumbing their noses and mooning the Russians while shredding their columns when they try and advance, those brave russian meat puppets. LMAO.
Anyone that has read about WWII Red Army this is not surprising. Read about the built up of Operation Bagration. The one major thing that the USA back then helped USSR with was supply trucks. USA at that time had 75% of the market share in vehicle manufacturing. This is why many are saying that the Ukraine war is a lost cause if it drags out longer.

@@andyf4292 Lol this is pure propaganda. No company in Russia can independently manufacture chips without outside parts. Semiconductor supply chains are massive. Even China struggles with manufacturing chips independently. Huawei's newest chips were made with ASML (Dutch) lithography machines. Putin is hoping to be able to manufacture 28nm chips by 2027. For reference, chips used in modern washing machines are typically 28nm. TSMC can produce 3nm chips and Intel can produce 7nm chips. This is why Russia has been desperately trying to circumvent sanctions by importing chips through their neighboring countries.
@@andyf4292 It's not that they can't make chips, it's that they can't make usable chips for today's devices because they have not miniaturized them the way western manufacturers have. The one commercially viable chip they did make in Russia is now made by TSMC in Taiwan. Russia is still making 180nm chips, about 10-15 years behind the west. And while Russia WAS going to build new fabs that would make smaller 65nm chips, they have no money left to do so because of the war. Putin screwed up again.
I see several references to "gunpowder" here. Gunpowder, sometimes called black powder, is a propellant made from charcoal, sulfur, and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). Except for muzzle loader hobbyists, its use in firearms is largely obsolete because it makes big clouds of smoke, leaves a lot of residue in the weapon, is prone to failure under damp conditions, and does not have the power of more modern propellants.
What Russia is using is guncotton, or more technically, cellulose nitrate. It's made by reacting cleaned and finely chopped cotton (cotton pulp, often made from waste fibers from textile thread spinning) with a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acid, followed by a careful cleaning process to remove all traces of residual acid. It is critical that the fibers be broken down and carefully cleaned so that they are no longer hollow because acid trapped in the fibers or other impurities make the product inconsistent and unstable. That's why there are problems with the shells from North Korea; they obviously have poor process quality control (what do you expect from slave labor, anyway?). Guncotton was discovered in 1832, reportedly by accident when a chemist named Braconnet used cotton to wipe up a nitric acid spill and put it on the hearth to dry, only to be startled later when it spontaneously exploded. It took several decades to develop a safe and reliable production process. (Source: Encyclopedia Americana, 1941 edition, except for the details of the discovery; I don't recall where I read that.)
It's 1941,2024 everything change,even books have bias analysis.
there is also actual black powder used in the shells in small amounts . maybe the primer. i remember a video 6 months ago saying it's a problem in the usa because a black powder factory had exploded/ burned down and it was hard to source quantities.
@@ronblack7870 Yes, primer and accelerator.
Smokeless gunpowder =/= gunpowder (black)
I thought the German chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein invented guncotton. Britannica describes the fortuitous discovery thus: "His discovery of guncotton began with an accident in his wife’s kitchen. When he used her cotton apron to wipe up some spilled nitric and sulphuric acid, it disintegrated, leading to his work on nitrocellulose".
Also workers now get better salary if pre war it were like 40-70k rubles, now if you just start working you get at least 80k, also some factories provide 1 time payment around 100-200 k rubles, also working on war factory give you protection against mobilisation
Actually in period of mass mobilisation (fall of 2022) empolyers treated their "protection" as a salary bonus, thus kept salaries on lower market level.
Some of my ex-colleagues moved to jobs for "protection" and had their income decreased. But those are engineers, idk how was it with blue collars.
Also restirctions for people with acces to classified information became very strict. Like previosly with access of level 2 (out of 3, with 1 the most strict) you could go abroad anytime you wanted but had to notify employer. Now that's impossible and even pepole with the 3rd (weakest) lvl might have problems with traveling. So another disadvantage.

Wow, the night vision works during the day --- with the sense covers on
Not just cotton for propellants - wood pulp can be used as well.
One of the other factors is funny. Russia uses a LOT of D-30 artilery which is 122mm shells, while they have a shorter range and less explosive power overall they also take 22kg of material to make but the NATO 155mm is 45kg of material. So they literally can make two shells from the same material. They're easier to handle and assemble, ship, and load into the weapons.
is 122mm same as mortar? seems smart to me, 45kg is huge amount of materials and chance of hitting something is low without some hitech excalibur style ordnance.
155/152 only makes sense as dumb bomb if raw materials are cheap and abundant to make as many as staff can do.
This right here. A mayor advantage of the Soviet artillery is that they never abandoned regimental artillery support like the west did.
But Russia can't hit anything accurately so needs way more ammunition.
@@bittripper3530 You have to understand that during war, unlike counter guerrilla warfare, the enemy fields at least a company worth of troops at any given position, or at least a platoon if we are talking an ATGM anti tank company resource. It doesn't really matter if you hit exaclty one squad, the enemy will deploy in force in that terrain, meaning no shortage of targets.
Like it was said in the video, the west is betting on localized air superiority to make artillery unusable for the enemy. Ukraine can't do that, unfortunately.

Fun Fact: Western artillery gets a fire mission, expends ordnance, then calls for more munitions. Russian artillery gets ammunition pushed to it and (oversimplifying, but conceptually correct) is told to fire at something.
YEAH! you are well informed...

@@throughput6674show your work
More accurate take IMO, western artillery waits for target confirmation and fire to destroy discovered resistance points. Russian artillery looks at the map and marks down suspected areas of defence that are bombarded during their assault, no wait for confirmation.
My 14 year old nephew proudly showed me a new slingshot he had made. I said that's cute - in Russia kids your age are making 152mm shells. My sister isn't talking to me now.

This is outdated info. Russia doesn't use cotton for this purpose. They have new technology and and source all materials from within Russia. They use different material which is both more economical and better performing.
Yes, most of it comes from trees proccessing and Russia has a lot of trees. Well, the tree gunpowder is a little worse quality but not so bad. The same way Russia uses tungsten in AP tank rounds and USA depleted uranium. Uranium shells perform 5% better but tungsten is cheaper and way more ecofriendly.

It is interesting to see how artillery is being used in this war. As a veteran artillery man it is crazy to see because I understand the devastation it can reap. Never got to shoot big rounds in combat, got stuck doing convoy security.

As a noob using simple logic knew already the today outcome. While people were laughing at Russia a year or two ago.
Former gunnery officer in the Australian army, those 155's with airburst are lethal at 50m blast radius, with serious risk of shrapnel wounds at 75 metres
As I saw in another source, the estimation of 3 million includes all calibers, including self propelled munition, and that the estimated rate of produclion of the main caliber of 152 mm is around from 1 to 1.5 million.
can you please share the source with me? NATO and other sources I've looked at all state rockets / artillery at 3 million please send to capelluto@taskandpurpose.com !
@@Taskandpurpose sure, I just replied
@@Taskandpurpose I think Perun covered this topic in one of his recent videos also. There is no way that for the main equivalent NATO calibre that they exceed European and/or US production. That 3 million figure includes all calibres
@@Taskandpurpose They use other calibres in their artillery not only 152mm. Such as 122mm - Gvozdika, 100mm - AT Rapira cannon, 203mm - Pion and 115mm as some of their T-62s work as makeshift SPA.
@@Taskandpurpose According to the European Commission the EU has hit 1 million 155 mm shells annually (January 2024) and according to the US DOD the US ramp up will add by end of 2024 between 840,000 to 960,000 155 mm shells for 2024. So conservatively 2 million 155 mm shells. European production and US production will shift slightly in 2025 with European production continuing to go up, and US production hitting a plateau until more comes on line in 2026
Us were at war with countries with zero air defense and were able to fly freely with very few planes taken down in 20 years. We would see how they succeed in defended air space
The main reason French shell production has stalled is China stropped exporting a material they need to make em.

Task i have a question.
Based on SKs and UKrs, "intel" before the rounds were even shipped to RU from NK. How can we prove that 50% number? Is there any russian or N.K counter claims on effectiveness? I feel like if it was a coinflip on a jam or explosion on the system no one would use the artillery.
People dont even pick up spare ammo from enemys on the off chance a single round is sabotaged.
they were shipped last year I believe, Ukraine claimed there was a high dud rate and inaccurate fire afterwards. Could it be misinformation ? absolutely. I think I flagged that part by saying "if we believe what Ukraine claims" how can we verify the dud rate? I have no idea. I would honestly have to research deeper into that aspect to know better
Several artillery men I talked with said that NK shells were fine, nothing fancy about them. A bit different from Russian/soviet ones, but not much
@@Taskandpurpose Thanks for the reply.

Getting into a war of attrition with Russia is like getting into a spending war with Bernard Arnault.
Its America looking for war against China and Russia.
Russia isn't what is used to be. The birth rate back in the 90's and early 00's was cataclysmic. The Philippines has more military-age manpower than Russia these days.
That being said, Russia is focusing on war-oriented things in a war situation whereas the EU really isn't. Russia can punch way above their weight when they're spending 6% of their GDP on as much OK stuff as they can make to use vs. their peer competitors spending 2% on gold-plated stuff they're afraid to lose.
@@Veylon Very useful points to bear in mind. To split a small hair though, That of the Philippines having more military age men - but numbers are surely not that good an indicator of a country's ability to prosecute a meaningful conventional war. Russia has been attacked by the west time over since the fall of the awful czarists. Each time Russia has responded in a sustained and meaningful way. It has a disciplined population which is readily militarised. How effectively could the Philippines dragoon its people into intensive arms production, conscription and build a large effective military capable of fighting overseas if necessary. I suggest thats improbable and even if the attempt were made it would be because of pressure from its "allies" and massive aid from the US.
Russia has low cost labour with no worries about health and safety or net zero laws.@@Veylon

Just look at China and Japan’s. Still Japan beat China the whole war.
Just to clarify, the 3M figure mentioned in the video includes all artillery calibers and rockets.
The number of 152mm shells are estimated to 1,3M annually. Which is actually less than the current capacity for 155mm shells in NATO.
Notably, however, most of those shells are going to the Russian ground forces, whereas many western shells are not going to Ukraine.
@@deriznohappehquite yeah, EU manufacturers are still exporting to other countries. Which is pretty frustrating tbh...
@@thegreatdane3627
And the U.S. Pentagon says its 3 Million 152mm shells. Hmm, Europe or the U.S. intelligence apparatus. I tend to notice Ukraine supporters look for the lowest "number" when they don't like what other allies say, Task & Purpose also made a comment about it that CNN went to the Pentagon and the Pentagon stated this.
So I'm assuming 3+ million 152m shells + 2 Million Iranian and DPRK shells with the rest being rockets and other calibers.
And don't come at me with "Well you're picking the higher number from America because you're obviously a Vatnik!!!" when in reality if I was that I would go with Russian Minister of Defence Shoigu's number of 16.5+ Million of all Calibers.

Veteran of the 1st Gulf War so can testify to the reliance on SF and Air Power early on to discourage Iraq from invading Saudi Arabia. Getting Naval, Air Power and SF units to remote battlefields takes days vs tanks, artillery etc which can take months. This put a reduced focus on US artillery capabilities and improvement.
True. While fighting third world countries with limited ability to destroy those things it's the way to go. In a long drawn out war of superpowers where those very expensive slow to produced resources start vanishing quickly........you're in a different ball game. Not to mention air power is great for blowing things up but you MUST occupy ground to control it. Air power doesn't do that.
Our Marine artillery unit took us less than 20 days to get to Saudi. Were sent to the Kuwaiti border as a delaying force in case the Iraqis decided to cross and head towards Ryiad.
You wouldn't have any resistance anyway. You waited for the war between Iraq and Iran to end, which took away all the strength of the first and second. You did the same thing in World War II. They waited until the Russians defeated the Germans. This is the eternal Anglo-Saxon-Zionist policy.
