Original Note:
Misrepresentation: Tweet compares the production of guided shells to unguided shells. https://www.businessinsider.com/precision-artillery-shells-aid-ukraine-in-artillery-battle-with-russia-2022-10 The US relies on precise fire (guided), and Russia relies on saturation fire (unguided). https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/06/19/why-russia-keeps-turning-to-mass-firepower/ One guided munition can hit a target that would require a minimum of 10 unguided shells. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision-guided_munition
