Olaf Scholz calls for “large-scale” arms production in Europe. Rheinmetall wants to produce, on all its sites in Europe, up to 700,000 artillery shells per year in 2025.
By the end of March, the Europeans will have only provided half of the million shells promised to Ukraine last year. The largest German arms manufacturer "already has a higher capacity than that of the United States" in terms of producing 155 millimeter shells.
