The bit I could read is below, though probably not totally true, surely Russia is carpet bombing areas in the hope of hitting the target or destroying cities, we would not need to? due to the accuracy of our weaponary. Hence we would consume it at a lower rate.

Every soldier’s nightmare is looming for Britain’s armed forces in the event of a war with Russia. The details are rightly secret (though probably not to the Russians). But the big picture is bleak and clear: Britain lacks the kit for its main military task.

Ben Hodges, a retired general who commanded US forces in Europe, told MPs that the British Army got through “every bit of important ammunition” in about eight days during last year’s Warfighter exercise. A land warfare conference last week heard that at Russian rates of fire we would run out of artillery shells in just two days.
This is him talking to MP's, you can watch it here
