The western improved, but still can't be competitive on shells.
Last year, even at war period, Rheinmetall produced only 66000 arty shells.
Now they and Nammo bought some other companies and can reach maybe 350.000.
Companies like BAES, Nammo Nexter are small producers.

Exactly because their focus are guided shells, extremely expensive.
Nammo, nexter, BAES: 40k/y.
They can't just change the production.
This year the 5 π΅π±π·π΄π§π¬π¨πΏπΈπ° keep being the biggest ammon producers, possibly reach 500.000 shells.
Set shell factories are a slow process.

The US is opening new factories, but even with all efforts, at this moment, their production can't reach 25k/Mo.
I always say that more local politics and community voice means less shells.
Locals doesn't want shell factories near their houses.

In WWII, the US had to build 700.000 houses to move workers to live near shell factories. It means a lot of money and time.
Arty shells were the base of URSS doctrine and RU inherented a lot of this culture. Its hard to beat them at this field, specially w NK support.

Note 1:
Myth:
Ukr need less shells because western are more accurate. Yes, western arty is more accurate due to better Barrels, ammo and fire control systems. But this advantage isn't means something like 20-30% inside the blast radius - 150m-, so, no.. It doens't help too much.

Note 2:
More than 1/3 of UKR artilleries are out combat due some reason, but mainly the distance of repair plants. It's insane to move an arty piece 1000-1500km to repair.
And we are talking about few hundred pieces, maybe 1/5 of RU.
Without missiles, arty is a lost battle.

S.K is the only country able to change this game, but, still would be necessaries more 1.500-2500 pieces artilleries, or 3-4x what allies sent to Ukr.
This field is where I see few perspectives for the allies and where RU doctrine impose their advance.
