I don't know how big a "standard" supply of these gears is but... ...aren't those quantities very small?

Yeah. Probably not 250 dumb shells though.

If these are guided or programmed shells like SMArt, Excalibur or Vulcano rounds than that means 250 things the Russians hold dear will be obliterated from very far away.

Germany is not an operator of the Excalibur shells:

And America can only produce about 1000 of these per year:

They are regular shells, cope harder

But Comrad, that makes no sense. You focus on one of the options while there are other munitions available. And even if so.. it's welcome regardless.

You tell me to cope harder while making fun of a serious issue. Russia is devastating a country because of geopolitical games where they want Ukrainians to be vassals to a brutal regime that denies they are their own people with their own culture.

All help is something and trying to sway the public opinion by diminishing the efforts of others only prolongs the war and suffering of the Russians at the front and the Ukranians as a whole.

Maybe you should be putting your energy into fighting for the Ukranians to live their lives in peace and choose their own destiny.

I'm not a nazi and I'm not a fan of losing either, 2 good reasons to never support or fight for Ukraine

Nope you are just advocating for raping, plundering, children stealing, warcriminals that employ convicted criminals of the worst kind on the front lines and if they survive set them loose on their own society.

All from the comfort of your safe bedroom, in a country with a representative democracy that allows you to spout heinous nonsense, protected by anonimity and the government you so despise.
