I find myself pondering conscription.

I’ve never seen the UK as truly part of Europe, and I still don’t. However, I do feel that Britain is losing its identity. Unchecked immigration appears to have introduced a level of discord that is unfamiliar to the nation as we have seen it in the past.

you always look stupid when you make weak attempts to troll.

You always squeal right on cue like a little girl.

Yeah, the bois like you better, no problem.

You changed it again? Also works!

I like the way he owns his retardation.

And he’s also quite tough, just ask him!

we don't replenish decommissioned stock, dumbfuck.

You are some special kind of stupid. Do you think the bomb pixies replenish stock.

As the United States transfers massive amounts of weapons, munitions, and supplies to Ukraine, questions arise about the health of U.S. inventories. Are inventories getting too low? How long will it take to rebuild those inventories? An earlier CSIS commentary identified those inventories that are at risk as a result of transfers to Ukraine. This commentary continues that analysis by examining inventory replacement times. Most inventories, though not all, will take many years to replace. For most items, there are workarounds, but there may be a crisis brewing over artillery ammunition.

now reread my post and try to figure out where you went wrong

Is this maybe Schitzoid’s edge over Tasty Suck toy?

Tune in soon…. Whose alts are Less Retarded!

Lol

Yeah, the bois like you better,

you have little boys in your sig asking you to look at their dicks, midget.

Say moar cold and ugly things while you’re looking at my dick, schitzy!

Use all your alts!
Lol

Your comment was so ridiculous I'm kicking myself in the ass for giving it any credibility. We're still converting old dumb bombs to JDAMS. I never once included decommissioned ordinance, whatever that is.

Ridiculous is way above where he’s at.

Our identity feels completely unchanged from here. The older folks bitch about how it's not like it used to be, whilst forgetting that their grandparents said the same thing. Two generations in and the offspring of immigrants all end up drinking tea, bitching about the weather, and marrying someone indigenous. We contagious.

We'll be bloody glad of the ghurkas if we do end up involved in conflict. That's one Immigration deal that only an idiot would end. They really are the best.

If we go to war with say China we'll be out of all kinds of ammo in about three weeks.

Pussies!
Oh how little faith the bomb, bomb, bomb Iran crowd has in the American military industrial complex.

 

[Lance_Castro]

Obviously, I'm far too old.
But my husband isn't.
My son is already in the military, but my daughter isn't.
I think her size and autism would rule her out for a combat role.

So, if we ship your daughter off to an autism academy, you’re pretty much single.

It's both Ukrainians and Americans that benefit from economic and industrial agreements with each other. Is it wrong to provide support for Ukraine in the form of a loan? Biden didn't do that. One thing people don't take into consideration, as we rotate stock and send older munitions to Ukraine the replacement cost for those systems is in many cases triple the original cost. So matching cost by system for system, tank for tank, fighter for fighter, Artillery and so on the cost of goods we send to Ukraine is not equal one for one to replace.

Here's an example of the costs of various types of 155mm rounds:

Standard Unguided Rounds:​

• United States: As of recent data, the U.S. Army pays approximately $3,000 per modern unguided 155mm shell, inclusive of the charge, fuze, and shell body.

• Europe: In Europe, prices have experienced a notable increase. At the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a 155mm shell was priced around €2,000 (approximately $2,171). By October 2023, this cost had escalated to €8,000 (approximately $8,490) per shell.

Advanced Precision-Guided Rounds:​

• M982 Excalibur: This GPS-guided munition offers enhanced accuracy and extended range. Initially costing around $258,000 per round in 2015, the unit price decreased to approximately $68,000 by 2016.

• XM1113: Designed for extended-range engagements, the XM1113 round was priced at $13,656 per unit for the standard version and $14,484 for the extended-range variant, based on 2020 budget allocations.

Factors Influencing Cost Variations:​

Several elements contribute to the fluctuation in 155mm artillery round prices:

• Technological Sophistication: Precision-guided munitions, equipped with advanced targeting systems, command higher prices compared to standard unguided shells.
• Production Scale and Demand: Increased demand, especially during conflicts, can strain manufacturing capacities, leading to price surges. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, for instance, has intensified the demand for artillery shells, impacting global prices.
• Regional Economic Conditions: Currency exchange rates, labor costs, and regional economic factors can influence production expenses, resulting in price differences between countries.

In summary, the unit cost of a 155mm artillery round can range from approximately $3,000 for standard unguided shells to upwards of $68,000 or more for advanced precision-guided munitions, depending on the specific type and technological features.

Sounds like you're developing a plan.

 

[Lance_Castro]

Coincidentally, i also fire 155mm rounds!

That doesn't really answer my question though. The lack of American support for Ukraine makes an escalation in Europe more likely.
And, although conscription isn't anywhere near inevitable, it's not unlikely if things escalate.

Ukraine wants “security guarantees” from Europe and America. It’s unclear exactly what that means but if they’re hoping the US agrees to put American forces in combat situations, that’s not going to happen.
