"From month to month": in the US declared a reduction in ammunition reserves because of the war in Ukraine
According to him, the full -scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has been going on for almost 17 months and all this time Washington helped Kiev with weapons. Now the ammunition reserves have begun to decrease partially.
In addition, when Joe Baiden's administration in 2021 entered the post, it was found that total reserves of 155 mm ammunition for artillery shells, which, incidentally, are standard in NATO, are at an extremely low level and this was not yet a full-scale war in Ukraine. Washington will now take years to replenish the reserves to the level that would be considered "acceptable".
"President Biden ordered Pentagon to work quickly on increasing the ability of the United States to produce all the ammunition we can ever need for any conflict at any time. From a month to a month to a month we will increase our capacity for ammunition supply," message. By the way, separately in the White House was officially confirmed that Ukraine's cassette ammunition is already in the military on the front line.
We will remind, on July 13 it was reported that cassette ammunition will change the course of war in favor of Ukraine, as stated by the spokesman of the Tavriya defense forces Valery Shershen. He noted that the Armed Forces would use them exclusively where the positions of the invaders are concentrated. At the same time, on July 14, NYT journalists wrote that in the United States are not sure that cassette ammunition would instantly change the course of war.
