00:00Is Russia producing four times more ammunition than NATO?
00:07The NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has warned that the Alliance is severely lagging behind Russia on ammunition production.
00:17In terms of ammunition, Russia produces in three months what the whole of NATO produces in a year.
00:25We verified Rutte's claim that Russia's annual ammunition production is four times that of NATO against the available data.
00:34The sources we consulted put Russia's ammunition production at up to 4 million rounds in 2023 and up to 4.5 million rounds in 2024.
00:45In 2024, the US and Europe, which are the major NATO economies, were producing an estimated 1.2 million shells per year combined,
00:57which is roughly what Russia was producing in three months, as Rutte claimed.
01:01According to Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, Moscow plans to produce 7 million artillery and mortar shells in 2025.
01:10Europe and the US's combined targets for 2025 stands at 3.3 million, which means that if they do reach those targets, they will be closing the gap.
01:22These figures are estimates. The real volumes produced by Moscow are classified.
01:28But the estimates do suggest that while Rutte's claim that Russia was producing a year's worth of NATO ammunition in just three months may have been true for last year,
01:38there are signs this is changing as the alliance tries to catch up.
01:42Yet it's clear that NATO is still well and truly behind Moscow, despite Russia's GDP being almost 25 times smaller than the combined GDP of NATO members.
