US is keeping HIMARS ammo numbers secret.
I wish we had a larger inventory there. That is a weakness.
“75,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition”
Getting hit with another 75,000 Artillery rounds has become routine for Russian forces. Trainloads of more dead.
This is the 17th package that Biden has released to the Ukraine. Not all included Artillery shells, but it now the norm. The USA alone seems to be providing enough to fire a sustained rate of a few thousand rounds per day.
