Surprise. Ukraine taught the Pentagon that they need to stockpile enough weapons for a protracted war, they can’t just expect to place an order and have a pallet of 155mm shells arrive in 30 minutes or less.
Apparently they have not heard of Amazon Prime. The munitions might not be the best quality having been manufactured in China, but they can get free shipping.

Correction, Vlad taught the Pentagon a lesson. The US dropped Artillery from doctrine for aircraft decades ago. A quick look at WW2 divisional artillery organizational charts show 4-6 battalions of divisional artillery. Huge.
To late for rethinking their tactics, North Korea, China, Russia has insanely huge
amounts of artillery. Do remember what Patton said when asked what won the war : “ Artillery “.
Vlad is holding all the cards. I imagine quite a panic has engulfed the Pentagon realizing their decades old doctrine worked fine against third rate Islamic countries, NOT going to work against Russia or China.
So, just in time ammo isn’t a good idea?
