🇷🇺🇺🇸 On paper, the Pentagon outspends Russia 5 to 1. Count it in artillery shells, and it’s almost a tie.

Russia is on track to spend about $211B on its military this year, roughly a fifth of the Pentagon’s $962B request.

But a standard Russian artillery shell costs about $1,000 to make, while its U.S.-made NATO equivalent runs about $4,000.

Do the math, and Russia’s budget buys as many shells as $844B would in America, nearly 90% of what the Pentagon is asking for.

And Russia actually churns them out: about 3.4M howitzer rounds last year, while the U.S. Army was making 36,000 a month as of March.

America still has the biggest military budget on Earth. It just pays 4 times more for every shell.
