[Tank & Purpose] If there was ever a doubt that the United States has been supplying significant amounts of weapons to Ukraine to help it counter the Russian invasion, consider this: the Pentagon is starting to run low on ammo.
Since the war in Ukraine broke out, the United States has been steadily sending weapons and ammunition to Kyiv, but not doing enough to replenish its stockpile, the Wall Street Journal reported today.
The Wall Street Journal, citing an unnamed Pentagon official, reported that there are "uncomfortably low" levels of 155mm Howitzer munitions in the military’s stockpile. How low? Well, apparently the U.S. has sent as much as 806,000 rounds of 155mm ammunition to Kyiv and what’s left has the DoD worried.
"It is not at the level we would like to go into combat," the unnamed defense official told the Wall Street Journal, regarding the 155mm supplies. |
