Putin Is Smiling: Is America Running Out Of Ammo To Send To Ukraine?
19FortyFive ^ | 1/13/2022 | Brent M. Eastwood

Posted on 01/13/2023 8:44:53 AM PST by whyilovetexas111

Ukraine is burning through ammunition for 155mm howitzers quickly and it is leaving the United States in a bind, according to a new report by think tank CSIS.

It could take up to five years for the industrial base to produce enough rounds to replenish American stocks.

It is not just cannon shells. Javelin and Stinger missiles could take six to eight years to normalize for the U.S. inventory.

If one must fight a conventional ground war against a near-peer opponent, one must make sure they have superior firepower.

The ability to produce and supply millions of artillery rounds and more millions of bombs is the deciding factor.

“Ukraine is burning through ammunition for 155mm howitzers quickly and it is leaving the United States in a bind, according to a new report by think tank CSIS.”

Pretty OBVIOUS what happened here. The Leftist Dweebs who are running the country figured that they could send most of our ground weapons to Ukraine and then simply backfill them by making a phone call or two to Big Defense.

What they found out is that they were right...except that their answers also included timelines of 5 to 10 years to fully replace.

Building a factory for boring old 155mm rounds won’t grease nearly enough palms in Washington.

I expect the Neocon Supporters, rather than address the STUPIDITY of their idols, will claim, without evidence, that it Russia is running out weapons even faster than us.

I expect china is hoping the US is running out of ammo. We really have stupid, evil people in charge of the US.

Hmmm... So just think. How many years will it take Russia to replenish their military’s losses... Tanks, Jets, Ammo, Soldiers... They’ve lost a hullava lot more military equipment and weapons than the west has.

The end is nigh for Putin... It’s just a matter of time.

Joe will refuse to replenish ammo because the price is too high...just like the SPR recently.

I swear, I think he’s depleting our defensive capability because he wants to give America to China.

What utter tripe. It’s the Russians that are running out of stuff including people.

Well what if you have a flat tire? πŸ˜‚πŸ‘. I talked to an acquaintance that claims he bought a pallet of 5.56 years ago when it was less pricey. Says 300k rds. I know where he lives. πŸ€”πŸ‘

“Oh, sorta like refilling the SPR with fresh petro right?”

The Leftists (that the Neocon Supporters seem to admire) literally think that as long as there isn’t gas lines when they fill up their limos, there’s no need for the SPR or any other type of strategic planning. For example, when Newt said that we need to stock large transformers to recover from an EMP event (be it a natural event or attack), the Leftists (that the Neocon Supporters seem to admire) treated him like Art Bell.

We won’t be able to defend ourselves from the cartels... They’re probably next. They’ve already propositioned their army around the US...

The globalists’ plan is coming together. Whatever hurts America is their objective.

Don’t want USA to run out of ammo... but it would be nice if we ran out of $’s to send to Ukraine.

“This condition would be untenable for the Ukrainians as the current heavy fighting in the Donetsk region, especially around the towns of Bakhmut and Soledar, require significant artillery fire since Russian soldiers are advancing in waves.”

I guess on the bright side that the fighting for Soledar seems to have ended, now that Russia has liberated the town.
