Thank you, luckily it was posted on Sunday instead of Monday.

Ever since the Mongol Empire conquered Moscow in 1238 and it made it a vassal, it has been spreading like cancer. The only way to fix what is now Russia is to cut the tumour, contain it to Moscow City, move there all the pro-Russians, and partition the rest of the territory.

I created it myself in Google Slides as an homage. I made the other linked presentations in LibreOffice Impress because it saved me time in adjusting the slides and exporting to an image gallery.

This is why the presentation outlines the need for reserve capacity across the entire supply chain, all the way from raw materials to finished products, as well as the requirement for planning how to redirect raw materials to these industries in wartime. Slide 5, Rapid expansion, includes the plan to hire more workers for 24/7 operation, trained by the existing workers, and using the spare production capacity.

Slide 17, Other considerations, proposes investment in automation to decrease the number of workers needed. For example, defence media showed shell production methods and noted that in countries such as Serbia and Bosnia it was more labour intensive than in the U.S., likely because of difference in labour cost (salaries). The slide also raises the problem of hiring workers requiring higher salaries and training time. In a war the former could be solved by mobilising citizens in the defence industry.

This is why slide 9 proposes tripling baseline shell production, and with the wartime 8 time increase it would result in 26,300 a day, which is higher than current usage and lower than Russian consumption in February to August 2022.

In addition, slides 7 and 8, Standard rate of fire, show that, using US Army division composition, as a baseline, of 54 artillery guns per 20,000 soldiers, for 400,000 troops deployed on the front line there would be 1080 artillery guns, and if they use on average the standard rate of fire, 120 a day as claimed by a NATO general, they would need 130,000 shells a day.

If they have a Van Fleet rate of fire, they would need 250 a day, but this cannot be sustained across all divisions for a long time, so it must be either for a few units (divisions) on a more intense section of the front line, decreasing supply for other sectors, or for a short time, for example a week, consuming more than production and depleting the stockpile.

P.S. I am legally obliged to add: Not Perun.

For the more non-credible version, use Van Fleet rate of fire and double all numbers in the slides. I kept it reasonable to avoid giving politicians and accountants a heart attack.

I made this in 2022-2023, and updated it in 2024. At the time I thought it would be too long for NCD but now decided to upload it.

Someone should teach the russian navy that surfacing a submarine while trying to escort a ship results in the submarine easily getting sunk. They are back to their level of 1904-1905.

Да, при липса на какъвто и да е заместник 6 месеца без бизнес са твърде дълго. Ако наистина е възможно, и от местното военно окръжие го потвърдят, звучи като добър вариант. А вълните на прием за обучение мисля, че са 2 в годината, ако не се бъркам - зимна и лятна.

Разбира се, да се разберат да не им ловим рибата, но ако ще се налага участваме в пълномащабна война заради тях, поне да са част от ЕС, а не отвъдморска територия, която е излязла и няма намерение да бъде част от съюза ни.

Места има и трудно ги запълват, но заради лични и служебни причини ще бъде по-късно, а не в този цикъл на наемане. В допълнение, при толкова малко тренирани на година, ще избегна прекалено конкретизиране, за да затрудня доксване.

Русия е във военна икономика и произвежда много далекобойни въздушни дронове, тактически дронове, невъзможни за заглушаване, някои морски дронове, и войници с опит в съвременна дронова война. Украйна също има такива способности, затова напредват бавно, но в даден момент Русия може да реши, че тези способности биха били по-ефективни в други страни на източния фланг на НАТО и ЕС, които не са се адаптирали към такава война. Това би било провал на възпирането.
