Euronews fact checked the statement and found that ammunition production may have been approximately four times more than that of the NATO Alliance in 2024. On paper, NATO’s economy is 25 times bigger than Russia’s once again illustrating that GDP measure doesn’t tell you much of anything about the real economy.
I absolutely agree. I’m more trying to get at where the perception that drones are the vast majority of the fighting vs the reality, and just that it probably is comes down to the nature of drones with regards to the videos that they produce.
Oh I think it’s like you said, there’s always footage with the drone and also the fact that the west is far behind in artillery shell production, so there’s an incentive to paint drones as a new wonder weapon that would allow Ukraine to keep parity.
