Fwiw the US has given about 25% of it's 155mm shells to Ukraine and hasn't the capacity to replenish it at a good rate. They're buying shells to South Korea now.

When I was on active duty (during the Cold War) at the end of the fiscal year they would send us out with obscene amounts of ammo to use because if it didn’t get used the budget would get cut for the next year.

Russia isn't getting richer, everyone is getting poorer because of this conflict (it's econ 101).
I also know someone in the French military industry (big wig at Thales) who is extremely happy of how the russian equipment performed and actively recruit right now because he knows that even if the conflict end quickly, there is now way Russia keep its second place as world arms dealers, and already have a selling point about how the only russian equipment that wasn't disappointing used Thales optics, electronics and/or avionics. Don't know if it's real, but it seems backed by data and i don't see why he would lie to me (he knows i'm not interested).
