Le Figaro: Ammunition shortage in France amid deliveries to Ukraine

Paris, like many in Europe, faced a shortage of ammunition, trying to help Kyiv at all costs.

According to the French newspaper Le Figaro, referring to a French parliamentarian, the country's army is experiencing a shortage of ammunition, and this is likely to increase disagreements in the country regarding further support for Ukraine.

The publication reports that the deputies of the National Assembly of the country Julien Rancul from the National Rally party and Vincent Bru from the Democratic Movement party prepared a report on the amount of ammunition in the French army.

According to the report, there is a shortage of 155 mm shells in the country's ground forces. The deputies also call for work to be carried out to assess ammunition stocks in case of a major conflict. In addition, they spoke out against minimizing inventories for the sake of economy.

Le Figaro notes that both the country's Ministry of Defense and arms manufacturers recognize this problem, but for too long they have worked based on the logic of peacetime. In other words, France cannot produce more ammunition at the moment.

This situation in the country's armed forces causes discontent among those who are against military assistance to Ukraine to the detriment of France's national defense, the newspaper writes.

So all of NATO can be disarmed through Ukraine. And then the local jihadists will be able to take Europe lukewarm.

Let the Ukrainians shoot. They don't care where and what to die for.

As a Frenchman, I know that in 1916 we were producing 160 shells a day.
In 2023, the steel industry has gone to China, and lathes and stamping machines have long since been scrapped.

Why do you need shells when you have Macron slime. He will polish everyone's fifth point and voila - France is not interested in any aggressor.

In France, there is a shortage of ammunition against the backdrop of deliveries to Ukraine

Lack for what? What are they missing against the background of deliveries to Ukraine? Le Figaro what kind of presentation of information?

So the French picked up the song about the lack of ammunition. So the way out of the situation is very simple - stop deliveries to Kyiv and the industry will restore the shortage for the French army. Or say bluntly that supplies are a burden to you, but you can’t refuse them, because. "allies" will misunderstand such a step and condemn it.
