US scrambles to increase weapons production after Biden let military info slip on TV. President Biden said last week on TV that 'we’re low on' 155 mm artillery rounds.
Let's hope that his stupidity doesn’t cost America lives.

I would not believe that the production of the 155 round is classified. If anyone started talking about "War Reserve" supplies then that is a whole different circus. Example, war planners have already estimated the number of rounds to fight in a specific theater. That would be marked at least "confidential" or "limited official use". The 155 round is NATO standard munition, a dozen countries can supply these projectiles. Therefore, transfers to Ukraine are unlikely to be constrained when the global market is considered.
