Jaahas, eli tilanne ei välttämättä tulevaisuudessa ole niin hälyttävä kun ensiksi ajateltiin. Kerrataas vähän tavoiteltua tuotantoa eri maissa ja yhtiöissä:Iso-Britannian tykistön laukausten tuotannosta:
BAE systems in the UK will be capable of producing more than 1.5 million large caliber artillery shells annually in the near future. This is a significant increase vs my estimates a few months ago as I have now been able to find the pre war production levels.

Pre war BAE was making 16,000 large caliber shells per month. And like I reported in July BAE publicly released their plan to 8x large caliber artillery shell production. Which would put them at around 128,000 a month or 1.5 million per year.

This is possible because the Washington plant is very new and extremely modern. Having just opened in 2012-2013 when most U.S plants have parts that date back to WW2. BAE Washington had 14 ultra modern machines with separate control rooms and extremely automated processes.
And Is likely among the most efficient 155mm production facility’s on the planet. It can be almost certain that the plant has continually been improved and added on to with a rapid surge in demand and plans to 8x production.
I also have it on good authority after speaking to some people familiar with forging that a similar amount of 155mm and 105mm can be made in the same time frame by the same processes. So like in other plants around the world it would likely be easy to switch completely to 155mm.
I would like to thank @tochnyi for creating the graphic where I found the 16,000 per month figure. They have been great on some other projects as well and do a really deep dive into issues. I’m not sure I would have found this info if they didn’t do such good OSINT.

Varovaisen positiivinen ketju, tosin tässäkin on ehtona: in the near future
Pitääkö tämän twitter-ketjun päättelyketju paikkansa? Vaikea sanoa.
Mitä tarkoittaa in the near future? Vaikea sanoa.
UK/BAE: 1.5m (2025?)
US 1.08m (2025)
Rheinmetall: 0.7m (jo 2024)
SAAB: 0.4m (2025 alussa)
Czechoslovak Group: 0.15m (2024)
NAMMO: 0.2m (2028)
PGZ: 0.2m (?)
Näillä pitäisi päästä jo ainakin 4 miljoonan vuosituotantoon 2025 kuluessa. Tässähän ei ole edes kaikki firmat, isoimmat nyt kumminkin. Ukrainassa tuotetaan merkittävä määrä ammuksia. Ja mikä tulee olemaan se "tuntuva" tuotannonlisäys Suomessa lähiaikoina?
