Pentagon increases the supply of weapons to Ukraine by maritime routes - WP

Journalists say that planes reach the goal much faster, but ships can carry a huge amount of cargo. This will allow Ukraine to create a larger arsenal for future military campaigns. The Pentagon has expanded the use of maritime transportation to supply weapons to Ukraine. At the beginning of the invasion of Russia, the United States relied on aviation to deliver weapons to Kiev as soon as possible.

About it writes the American edition of The Washington Post with reference to representatives of the US Defense Ministry. According to journalists, Pentagon began to send some weapons a few weeks after the start of a full -scale war in Ukraine. However, supply in this way has increased significantly in the spring. It happened after Ukraine began to send howitzers and other heavy weapons, which requires a constant flow of large -caliber ammunition.

US military officials have refused to inform specific weapons delivery routes to Ukraine, but noted that some of the weapons from the United States are entering the battlefield. Other routes provide for US reserves in Europe, from which the United States has withdrawn supplies for weapons of Ukraine. The publication states that the planes reach the goal much faster, but ships can carry a huge amount of cargo, which will allow Ukraine to create a larger arsenal for future military campaigns.
