What makes you think that? Do you think we are buying made in China artillery shells? Of course the West makes its own. The main difference is that we never expected to need very many of them, because in a typical war the West has air superiority and uses bombs/rockets instead of shells.
Russian military is building their own while western ones are buying it from corporations that want only profit and nothing else. So to keep this profit going up they don’t expand their factory capacity creating an artificial scarcity of shells to keep their prices up. But it’s not the case with Russian military.
Russian military is building their own while West is buying from others. Obviously the Russian’s gonna be better and cheaper then westerners.
