Some countries might still have cold war stocks. But, what countries produce 152mm other than NK and Russia?

Romania’s RomArm apparently does, though I have no idea what sort of numbers they’re producing

@Skua Pretty low, I think, as Romarm is just another state enterprise whose main purpose is to justify the paychecks of some politically appointed directors of the governing coalition, while the factories themselves contain old machinery, are in conservation (official lingo for “abandoned”) or sold to scrap to make room for real estate projects or shopping centers. They did however encounter a surge in demand lately since the war began. I am sure that there are other post-communist states that can contribute with the production too, though, so we can have it at an acceptable level.

IIRC, Bulgaria. They were sending some to Ukraine earlier in the conflict.

That’s certainly an eccentric list of calibers.
