Ayup. It takes a long time to ramp up production, especially when capacity has been cut way back, over an extended period. The US probably has not seen this level of artillery use since Nam. We have all seen the films of US troops training in 40-41 with wooden guns and trucks with “tank” painted on them, because production capacity had not caught up with need. Now we see Ukrainian recruits training with wooden AKs.
