"Who has more, he will win": a lack of ammunition in the Armed Forces came to a critical stage - NYT

"Who has more, he will win," he said. The material states that the artillery is now more in the Russian forces. Ukraine is experiencing a shortage because of funding delayed assistance in the US Congress. The fact is that the states were the largest ammunition supplier for the Armed Forces. "Artillery ammunition is necessary for keeping the line until the defensive fortifications are completed and this summer the expected Russian offensive begins this summer," the newspaper writes.

According to journalists, Russia had an artillery advantage throughout the full -scale war. The situation began to change only last year. However, as analysts evaluate, the Russian Federation is now producing at least five times more artillery shots than Ukraine. "We cannot expect that people will fight without ammunition," Johan Norberg, a military analyst of the Swedish Defense Research Agency, told reporters.

Ohio representative at the House of Congress representatives Republican Mike Turner said that representatives of the US military and intelligence were clear that Ukraine would not be able to last longer. "We are at a critical stage that begins to influence not only the moral spirit of Ukrainians, but also their ability to fight," he said.

The publication writes that the great harm of the situation on the front is caused not only by the general shortage of ammunition, but also by imbalance in existing types of shells. Yes, now Ukraine has enough cassette ammunition, effective against infantry, but there are few fragmentation shells that are better suited to destroy the onset tanks and other armored vehicles.

It is also reported that the lack of mortar shells forced Ukrainian commanders to turn to the heavier than the lacking artillery shells. Ukraine also has more NATO shells, although there are still more tools of the Soviet model. On the other hand, the Russian military developed a relatively effective tactic of storming trenches in the absence of heavy artillery in the forces of Defense of Ukraine. The occupiers use large -scale artillery shelling, liver attacks and aviation bombs.
