No. That we're supplying 155mm cluster bombs proves what the problem is fundamentally.

Ukraine is using far more 155mm ammo than anyone ever expected. USA sent hundreds-of-thousands of rounds last year. When USA's stockpiles ran low, we bought out South Korean's stock pile and gave it to the Ukrainians. When that's running low, we suddenly send cluster bombs that were going to be disposed of.

Ukraine's got shell hunger and there's not enough 155mm production to support Ukraine. That's the problem.
