It's still a devastating ratio.
Scott Ritter is claiming we came very close to Russia launching nuclear weapons - if NATO sent long-range missiles into Russia.
Reportedly, Biden was ready to sign off on the LR attacks, and Putin warned the West. Ritter hypothesis is that a back channel call was made, and Russia listed what cities it would hit. Biden allegedly was later seen, and he was very angry.
NATO / the West can't match Russia and now North Korea's manufacturing might. Forbes recently claims Russia fires 10K 155 shells a day, and UKR 2K. Low estimates, but still a huge imbalance. And who will man the machines, women?
LOL @ NATO can't match North Korea's manufacturing might
Do you even read what you write?
ML is right, Russia's current military production capacity dwarfs that of NATO, except for airplanes where ongoing production runs have not stopped for older planes like the F-16, F-15 as well as newer jets like the F-35. But in the basic artillery and tank "staples", Russia's current production rate is much larger than that of all of NATO combined.
This is due to structural and political (business) problems within the US MIC, which to this day don't appear to be resolved.
I am not sure about North Korea's production capacity, but it's probably among the top 3 in the world in artillery, as well they have one of the largest stockpiles of ammunition in the world. It is quite conceivable that they have increased their production capacity as they now have access to Russian commodities (metals, energy etc) as well as capital.
