Inside an ammo factory racing to replenish dwindling US & Nato stocks

- Опубликовано: 19 фев 2023
- The US Army has asked that artillery shell production triple over the next two years.
It comes as Nato's chief says the West is now in a "logistics race" with Russia to see who can produce weapons quicker.
One manufacturer, General Dynamics, has allowed a rare glimpse behind the scenes at one of its factories, Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, as it works flat out to meet demand.

Damn, this must be why my order of 155mm shells has gotten so delayed... 🤔
yes, and covid are holding those amazon trucks back from delivering them to your house
Well we still have millions of nerve gas shells you can order.
Should have ordered them priority and not cheaped out! I got my order in just fine :)
Scalpers selling them at a higher cost, Iam managing with my mortar for now.
@@DefinitelyWave wait you got yours I am still waiting for mine but the shipment tracker just points it at kiev before rapidly moving and then blipping out it's been 11 months and still no update I am starting to think they put mine in the wrong batch
Arsenal of democracy. This war has shown us that having too much ammo is a far better option then too little.
HERE HERE
But it's a Constitutional Republic, not 3 wolves and 1 sheep deciding who's for dinner.
@@Veldtian1 Yeah and this is one of the reasons why the US political landscape is so flawed, but that's another subject.
more like its shown that having one single form of warfare creates shortages. Ukrainians and Russians use massive amounts of artillery as their main tactic. little to no aviation strikes have been used in comparison to the amount in the gulf war or iraqi freedom.
Yeah I know right? So are you saying that you were born in an American wet market on Halloween of 2018 because you're COVID (and it was far better to have two knives than one dehumidifier)? Or that you were in the Keenan and kel movie 2 heads are better than one [non blown-off head]? Or are you talking about when the barber fought your hair with clippers and determined that it was better that your hair was short rather than twice the same amount of longer strands of hair (or are you calling them strains now)?
10 years ago I was in the army stationed at Fort Sill. I was in artillery and 155's was what we shot all the time. We were once told that we have such a massive stockpile of 155 rounds that we actually needed to start using them because some were getting so old that they couldn't be trusted to work properly in combat conditions. Yes it is old tech but it cheap (compared to alternatives) and effective. This sounds like we've depleted that stockpile, of which we were also told realistically would never be, because there was so much ammunition.
I find it hard to believe that the ammo stores that were so abundant that it would be almost impossible to expend it all are now almost expended a decade later...
Seems to me they got rid of most, if not all, the older stores and are now working to replace what was "lost"...
After all, why would such a complex as the US military risk weakening their position by simply "using too much ammo"... Such a thing is not possible as long as they continue to have the resources. And if they don't have the resources then they definitely wouldn't be sending any of it anywhere.
@@heyapoc Some of the artillery pieces in the US that use 155 rounds have been gradually getting removed from service in favor of other weapon systems. Back in 2013 the entire battalion I was a part of was deactivated. It consisted entirely of M109 self propelled howitzers, ancient vehicles.
I'm more inclined to believe we've just given Ukraine that much ammo.
Ever since there has been a concept of ammunition there seems to have been a consistent historical refrain: War always uses far more of it than they predict in peace time
Meanwhile we cannot fund our own government and Americans are falling into poverty
@@metazare .. it was quite clearly stated in the vid, that the US shipped 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine last year.
I was in the Army as a ammo specialist in the late 1990’s to 2008. I Was in a Field Artillery battery and was amazed at the age of all the munitions we used. They were using 105-155mm shells from Vietnam war era. Stuff from the early 70’s. There was very little modern ammunition in the bunkers. After the gulf war it was even worse.
Old tech, but extremely effective. Being shelled even briefly by close hits in a bunker is a very scary experience. Being caught in the open as the shells box you in is terminal fright... Each one of these shells (M795) is just over 100 lbs/45kg in weight, filled with nearly 25 lbs/11 kg of high explosives, and have a 'kill radius' of 50m.
And even MBT's are not safe against them. The US army discovered this i believe after the first gulf war.
It will be even scarier once the ramjet artillery shells with guidance start coming into play. You won't be safe from artillery even 40 miles from the front lines.
with drones now they land like under laser guidance (UA is perfect example)
@@F4Wildcat Yeah, you are in a world of hurt if you are subjected to a direct hit from an M795, 155mm shell... Similar to a WWII 6" naval gun, and no joke! Mobility kill at the very least.
@@sethbrownberg7675 Man, when I was in the army, using drones to adjust and correct fire for 'dumb' shells would have seemed like Star Wars. Having lasers to paint the target (Excalibur) would be equally as crazy. As an aside, seeing these drones drop ordinance on troops/carriers, even MBTs with high-precision is simply unreal and scary AF.
We once handled a small piece of shrapnel from an exploded, 105mm howitzer round. The shrapnel was about two inches wide and five inches long - and the edges were razor sharp.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 I'm glad you got better.
I used to launch those bad boys. It's amazing
They don't even need to be sharp. Even the blunt end would still penetrate and possible wreak even more havoc upon the enemy.
@@gonavygonavy1193 😂
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 I hear the ccp is practically giving those away for free these days.
1:27 those shells look so beautiful for being a weapon of war. It literally looks like a giant rifle bullet (yes, I know that's because it's basically what it is but still) it's kinda amazing how humans can make stuff like this
More like dumbfounded that humans design and produce these to kill each other. There are countless other things made by humans that are not destructive that are worth your amazement!
They won't stay that nice looking for long. They get painted ugly colors.
And don't you think that all humanity progress is used as awful weapon for killing other people
I have become death,destroyers of worlds.
@@rocketeer9065 the shells still look beautiful. Esthetics aren't the same as morals, though both tend to be highly subjective.
I think of my girlfriends father. A US Marshal doing undercover work at a munitions plant during WWII brass ingots kept vanishing. Turned out there was a few parking spots in the employee lot the crane could reach. The crane operator dropped the ingots thru a trap door of an employees truck. I wonder how many years they got for theft of war materials.
That could get you shot
Funny he worked for nothing. The nazi people who worked for Hitler went to U.S to work for the government. In other words your US marshal is being used as a puppet just to make politics happen. Sad function if you say to me.
@@freedomneverexisted5093 how did the nazis go work in the us during ww2. He worked as a Marshall then?

Interesting how even back in the Medieval Ages, we've always tried to find ways to make the Artillery and Trenches obsolete but to this modern day, we've really never found a good way to make them obsolete, making them two of the few things that's never really changed that much throughout the centuries.
They are well and truly obsolete in a modern war. The war in Ukraine isn't modern, with both sides' air forces on the ground.
@@dansands8140 Not totally grounded but playing minimal roles at best
NATOs plan was always air superiority, not Trench warfare, but thats been impossible for Ukraine to do, so we are back to the old ways
@@dansands8140 obsolete is a strong word to use. If they were obsolete they wouldn’t be needed at the quantity they are now, plus, combined with gps guided rounds and drones makes it extremely effective
We have found ways to make them "obsolete", but it takes a whole lot of coordination to do it.
The fact that Russia cannot enact breakthrough combined arms operations is testament to how difficult it is to pull it off.
Artillery factories on the world wars must have just been insanely large and numerous to supply the massive amounts of artillery used.
Right. And considering how much war production the US had just in ships, the artillery rounds alone must have been absolutely insane.
The video says that the US sent 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine last year. In the first day of the Battle of Verdun, the Germans fired 2 million shells as their opening bombardment.
@@hydra70 Jesus. imagine the combined yield.
@@chriswhite3692 Russia shot over 50-60k in one day this war. Biggest barrages since WW2 and right up there with the largest of WW2 in a per/day metric. Must have sounded absolutely incredible.
@@hydra70 The British fired 1.5 million during the initial bombardment for the Battle of the Somme. The amount of shells fired on both sides would be hard to know, but has been estimated to be over 500 million shells across four years. Obviously every country had dozens of factories running 24/7, with women and non-essential industry workers moving into the industry and massively boosting the number of workers, but its crazy to think that even with all the CNC and automation we have today, that we'd have to do something similar just to match WW1 production levels.
Buying a defense stock is easy, but buying the right defense stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $400K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
The market is volatile at this time, Investors should consider their own risk tolerance and conduct thorough research before deciding to invest in defense stocks. Consulting with a financial advisor can provide personalized insights based on individual circumstances.
Initially confident in my market understanding, a $50k gain thrilled me. However, encountering a financial adviser during the pandemic's market turmoil proved transformative, as their guidance led to a staggering $280k profit, revealing the intricacies of the market previously unknown to me.

Keep in mind when they're quoting prices on munitions it's the "new" price. Ammo expires and was made ages ago so what's already been shipped is essentially "hand me downs".

$800 a shell?Hot damn
it's pretty cheap from the army's point of view
An average Javelin missle costs like 150.000$ so its pretty cheap.
$800 for just 155mm now imagine how much it costs to have a single battleship ammunition 🤧🤧
@rn Because they both serve a similar purpouse
@@notrius7754 No they don't? You don't use artillery to exclusively hunt tanks, and you certainly aren't going to be using as many Javelins as arty shells.
Estes Energetics (subsidiary of Estes Industries, maker of model rockets) purchased the dead-in-the-water Goex plant to produce black powder for their rocket motors. The moment they got the plant up and running again, the military stepped in and told them "we will take every grain of black powder you can make" as BP is used in the primers for 155mm shells. Even after the Ukraine war is done (whenever that may be), it will take years for NATO countries to rebuild their stockpiles.
Maybe once Putin realizes he won't be able to outlast NATO's willingness to help Ukraine if you listed to one of his latest speeches last week it was very similar to the kind of public addresses Hitler would give the German people during WW2 he's convinced that Russia can keep fighting until the rest of Europe backs out of the war effort
Please, write don't "the Ukraine", probably "Ukraine" - this is right writing of independent state.
@@user-ou9qd9no5n they wrote "the Ukraine war" instead of "the war in Ukraine" both of which are acceptable in a sentence. Other conflicts are commonly written like this as well, like "the Vietnam war" use of "the" is directed at the "war" part of the phrase. English is a weird language
@@juliogonzo2718 oh, this is fine
Black powder for rocket motors ? LOL
Black powder for primers ? LOL
Just so you know, single and double based powders are made from nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin.
NC was discovered in 1848 and officially replaced black powder in every army less than 40 year later when French chemist Paul Vielle managed to stabilize it.
The US military is currently exploring the application of a technology called "LFT", pronounced as Lift. It stands for lithographic fragmentation technology. It enhances the fragmentation efficiency of conventional cast shells, optimizing fragment sizes and numbers,offering increases lethality.
Sounds like a scale up of tech used in the baseball grenades from the Vietnam and Korean era. Where a fracture pattern is embossed in the metal of the shell.

Your only perspective on war is seen through a lens of popular culture, interesting. I wonder what you will think when you wake up one day with no legs in a smoldering pile of rubble that was once your house. Another Hollywood production perhaps. Must be nice to live in a fantasy world.

Very interesting to see how these shells are build and how much they really cost.
Yeah, really puts the cost of one cruise missile into a different perspective.
“Built”
A full-scale (non-nuclear) war with modern military tech will bankrupt the US, China, and any other near peers in months. The war in Ukraine has taught us this. This war has shown light on our alarmingly small US stockpile of smart weapons, and honestly maybe that's a good thing. If no nation can feel secure in the amount of modern, non-nuclear weapons they can provide to a peer-to-peer engagement, it might be a deterrent to indirect war. I love the Chinese citizenry and have my reservations about their leadership, that said I seriously do not want any wars between us for my generation or for many to come.
50 billion
How they were built.
Now we need to be doing the same thing over here in the UK. New ammunition orders in Europe don’t seem to have actually gone ahead, at least not until this month. Don’t know whether that includes the UK, but we still need actual physical evidence that we as well are actually increasing our ammunition manufacturing. At the very least, we need to be showing actual evidence that we are expanding the manufacturing base with real building and factory construction. So far we have seen none of this. We need to critically do this NOW.
Yes, you are right!
I cant believe how out of touch these NATO nations were. It was clear at the start of the war, that is was going to be an artillery war. How many ammo factories are there?
You need foundaries, and lots of other parts, and industries. It cant be started up next week!
The UK doesn't have a lot of guns to start with so why would we need more ammo... first we need actual gun manufacturing in the UK but were not allowed guns and theirs no real demand for them either so wasting money on munitions plants doesn't make any sense.
The Plants we do have in the UK are good enough to supply our own forces.
@@MrDakkyz We are talking large caliber 155mm artillery rounds here not rifle rounds. Watch the report.....
@@marcdornan1454 Yes I know even so the UK has less than 90 artillery pieces in 155mm the plant that make these shells can keep up with demand for the British forces that uses them.

Pro Tip: Don't put the explosives in the shell while it's still glowing.
even if it isn't glowing it might be still hot
On the plus side, nobody makes that mistake twice.

Interesting details of forming the shell. First hot forged then cold rolled. Should be the key to higher filling ratio than older munitions.
Excelente Video 👍, no sabía como se producía un Proyectil.
Even with all the stealth bombers and drones and smart bombs, artillery still is the most feared weapon.
Cus its the most cheap.
Stealth bombers, tomahawks, and smart weapons and the rest are only good for countries like America, where you have the semiconductor industry to backup everything.
Atleast America has Intel and Qualcomm, and has its own TSMC factory in Arizona.
Russia cant even manufacture its own chips, let alone make anything vaguely complex.
As much as they’re producing, we need even more. Munitions expenditures are ALWAYS above estimates.

We've been downsizing the army since the end of the cold war hugely and it's why we're lacking now but the main reason is that the Royal Navy has had a huge rebuild and is taking all the money. 2 new fleet carriers, 4 new missile subs, 7 news hunter subs, 13 new frigates and a bunch of F-35s.

@@lestermoe7159 Pointing out that Wars are a racket = young naive communts is a very interesting logic you harbour.
@@BleedingSnow by your logic defending yourself is a racket. Cool, could you tell me where you live?
@@lestermoe7159 Not what I said at all, let me repeat myself
War is a racket, and it never changes.
I think you need to look up the definition of "racket" but I know you won't going by youyr first comment made to offend, rather than start a productive debate/discussion.
"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes." - Smedley D Butler - US Major General

Looks like they need to build a few more factories ...
But what about the polar bears???
@@GeneralChangFromDanang 😁
Yes! Keep 'em fighting!
Weird how this sounds like WWI
For some reason, people are forgetting the result of the breakup of Yugoslavia
Wonder if it will actually turn out that way with every able bodied man already dead
War is a racket.

Hmmm, imagine the possibility of a war requiring lots of ammo. Crazy…especially when you give it away.
And now you know how the industrial military complex influences policy.
Sheep for the slaughter, babylon fights babylon
10% for the big guy !
Why is Ricky from Trailer Park Boys making artillery??? Lol
Even this warehouse looks ominous and eerie 1:03
I love how we look at things used to kill other humans, like fruits and vegetables in the grocery store.
remember to remove that thing that says "remove before firing", before firing.
Artillery Cannoneer here🙋♂️
More common than you think
Make some 16 inch naval shells never know when we may need our battleships back
I think they should fight their own war and we should stop wasting our money.
The US needs to revive its steel industry. It’s how we kicked ass ww2 logistically.
Tell that to the Democrats.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Советский союз победил во второй мировой войне, а не вы сша только 1944 подключилась добивать мелкие остатки при которых понесли большие потери
@Nate Higgers the problem today is not with the steel industry of the US, it's with the sheer consumption the average american has. Because even if you're not making it in the US, it still pollutes somewhere on Earth. Sobriety should be the next US policy goal. You can't keep on having bigger and bigger houses and becoming fatter and fatter.
@@ilia484 try harder bot, even Stalin said they would have lost if not for America
@@ilia484 won the second world war by sacrificing a third of its populations, with a majority of its aircraft and tank forces made up of US lend lease tanks and fighters. The Soviet Union would have been crushed like a gnat if it weren't for the fact that Germany was forced to fight a 2 front war against the USSR and the Allies. If D-Day never happened, the Germans likely could have continued pushing with the extra resources freed up.
