Olaf Scholz: Europe is not living "in peacetime" because of Russia's "imperial ambitions" Rheinmetall wants to produce, on all its sites in Europe, up to 700,000 artillery shells per year in 2025, compared to 400,000 to 500,000 this year. The largest German arms manufacturer “already has a higher capacity than that of the United States” in terms of producing 155 mm shells.
By the end of March, the Europeans will have only provided half of the million shells promised to Ukraine last year.
