Rebirth of a technological power

I saw someone asking whether it would be too exaggerated to export 2 billion bullets and 10 million rounds of artillery shells. This is the data I checked when writing:

China's ammunition reserves are based on world war reserves. According to available data, the ammunition storage is almost 50 billion rounds, with an annual production capacity of 2 billion rounds (15% production). China exports 340 million rounds of bullets every year, of which the bulk is exported to the United States. , 50 million to 100 million shots per year.

China's artillery shell reserve is 1 billion rounds, including 40,000 cannons of 122 mm or above, and 30,000 cannons below. A base number is 80 to 400. A base number for all artillery is 5.6 million to 28 million rounds of artillery shells.

In 28 days in 1979, 4,000 artillery shells of various calibers were fired, with 1.06 million rounds. Each cannon fired 265 rounds (artillery), not counting the guns of each company. In subsequent rounds of war, 2.4 million rounds of various types of artillery shells were fired in the first five years. In ten years, not even the artillery shell reserves of the two military regions were exhausted, and the production directly made up for it, and there was still a lot more. (There was a saying at the time that the shells that were about to expire were used and should be removed from inventory)

During the Iran-Iraq war, more than 6 billion rounds of bullets and millions of artillery shells were exported (4,000 tanks, various types of rocket launchers, cannons, etc.)

In peacetime, China's annual artillery shell production capacity is about 5 to 6 million rounds (in the entire Russia and Ukraine, Russia uses tens of thousands of artillery shells every day, which is about 10 million artillery shells a year, which is only equivalent to emptying a large artillery shell storage warehouse)

The above data was found online and may have errors, but the difference should not be big. Therefore, exporting two billion rounds of artillery shells or 10 million rounds of artillery shells is not an exaggeration. It is assumed to be destocking.
