SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea has reached an agreement to lend the United States 500,000 rounds of 155mm artillery shells that could give Washington greater flexibility to supply Ukraine with ammunition, a South Korean newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The DongA Ilbo newspaper cited unidentified government sources as saying South Korea decided to "lend" the ammunition instead of selling, to minimise the possibility of South Korean shells being used in the Ukraine conflict.
South Korea's defence ministry said the allies have been exploring ways to support Ukraine but declined to confirm specific discussions.

This is embarrassing.
“Lend”....my caboose...
We don’t even produce our own munitions anymore!?
Why don’t they give them directly to Ukraine if that’s what they want?
Oh, silly question..... Biden wouldn’t get his 10% if it was a direct gift from South Korea and Ukraine.
Duh.
Read up on how we trained soldiers in the mid 30s, before we started ramping up for WWII, ‘pathetic’ doesn’t even describe it.
It takes a long time to smelt a shell casing on an electric stove.
They would be smarter to save them for the Cbicoms.
Oh my gosh, now we’re beggars for military equipment and ammo. How pathetically embarrassing, but this is where we are under Biden/Obama and the Democrats.
I could use a few cases of PMC .45 and 5.56mm ammo. Think they’ll lend that to me?
Maybe if I ask really nice. Pretty please, with sugar on top.

> This is embarrassing.
There is nothing wrong with accepting foreign military aid from former 3rd world countries.
No telling how much we left in Afghanistan.
No, it’s not that. It’s how did we get into this situation to start with? Did we plan to fail? Or fail to plan?
Ukraine will go through that, with their terrible targeting, in about three days.
This is abandonment of a strategic ally in favor of criminals.
> Did we plan to fail? Or fail to plan?
Yes.
lmao
“South Korea to lend 500,000 rounds of artillery shells to US -report”
Sounds like North Korea won’t need to even use their nukes to take South Korea.
