The US Army aims to double the production of 155mm artillery shells, a key munition used in Ukraine, by October, with plans to reach 100,000 shells per month in 2025.

The increase is facilitated by a new factory in Texas using new technology.

Current monthly production rates rose from 14,000 to 28,000 by October 2023.

The U.S. seeks to meet Ukraine's ammunition needs amid Russia's invasion, but congressional approval for a Ukraine aid bill, including $3.1 billion for munition production, is crucial for achieving the target.

«DETAILS OF SPECIAL OPERATION "CITADEL"👇

According to intelligence, one of the illegally seized mining platforms was used by the Russians to enhance the operation of the Iranian-made Mohajer-6 unmanned aerial vehicle. Namely, they installed equipment that increases the range and radius of its operation. This UAV was used by the enemy for reconnaissance and subsequent strikes with Shahed kamikaze drones on critical infrastructure facilities in the south of Ukraine.

In addition, the enemy installed a radar station for detecting surface objects (from motor boats to ships) "Neva-B" on the platform. With the help of this radar, the Russians controlled the situation in the northwestern part of the Black Sea.

After careful planning and preparation, the group of the 73rd SOF Marine Center began the task of destroying enemy facilities.

The special operation was carried out in the zone of constant patrolling by the Russian aviation and navy. At night, the boats of the 73rd Marine Center came close to the mining platform. After carrying out special actions and cleaning, the object was demined. The combat group withdrew to a safe distance and blew up the enemy target. As a result, important enemy equipment was captured and a mast with an antenna was blown up.

The successfully conducted special operation ensured safer movement of ships and limited the enemy's capabilities in the northwestern part of the Black Sea.»

Exact date of "CITADEL" is not provided. This certainly occurred many months ago.

There is also a Senate funding bill for Foreign Aid that includes money for Ukraine, Israel and the Border.

9 US Ambassadors have signed a petition to push it forward. Its a question now if the US stands with its friends and allies or not. China, for one, would love to know.
