Europe has overpromised on artillery shells to Ukraine and is making even less than it admits: investigation

• Europe's artillery shell production won't meet promises made to Ukraine, an investigation found.
• The European Commission claimed production of 1 million shells annually as of January this year.
• An investigation found that actual production is around 550,000 shells, a major shortfall.

European claims about its capacity to produce artillery shells are wildly overblown, meaning it won't be able to supply Ukraine anywhere near the quantity it has promised, according to a new investigation.
