The New York Times: The Armed Forces of Ukraine will only have enough ammunition for air defense until spring

Against the backdrop of a reduction in supplies of Western weapons and the delay by the US Congress in making a decision on the allocation of funds for Ukraine, the position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the front line is becoming more and more difficult and the new commander-in-chief Alexander Syrsky will have a hard time in this situation, writes the American newspaper The New York Times.

In addition, a rather problematic situation is developing with the lack of ammunition for the Ukrainian DefenseAs the American publication notes, citing American officials, in the absence of new supplies of air defense ammunition, they will only last until March.

Ukrainian troops are exhausted and lack weapons and ammunition. Air defense systems are steadily depleted due to repeated bombings

– says the publication.



Let us recall that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba previously announced a severe shortage of artillery shells, and the American publication The Wall Street Journal noted that for every ten Russian shells, the Ukrainian Armed Forces manage to fire only one.

It is worth adding that there is a deficit missiles for air defense systems, is obviously an even bigger problem for Ukraine than the shortage of artillery shells, since the latter's functions can to some extent be performed by Drones.

    An excellent reason to sell all the Ukhria to Blackrock.
    A financial umbrella will save your property from the orcs.
    With subsequent redemption.

      And a couple more massive missile strikes with drones, etc. And then it will be possible to calmly show our fighters aerobatics over Kiev... (almost a joke)
      In general, in positions, they are already calmly using attack aircraft at low altitudes without fear of being shot down... Come on, guys, we need to finish off the junta, and preferably before May...
      Bomb bomb and bomb The last rocket strikes give excellent results!!!
      Their air defense is weakening....We especially need to pound the west of Ukraine, that's where all the evil spirits and weapons come from

        They no longer fire anti-missiles at drones, only cannon ones. They save. They know that strategist carcasses will fly over them, without air defense. But by the time the anti-missile missiles arrive, there will be no more launchers left

          But the irradiation of signals is still going on, there are still special missiles aimed at air defense signals following drones, etc.
          I dream that our fighters would fly over Kiev at low altitude and do all sorts of tricks. Then that would be ALL!

      Don't even doubt that VSU will also be supplied with missiles and air defense systems. And spending the same "Geraniums" to degrease VSU's air defense is a waste.

    The question is, will anyone decide, crosswise, according to their own
    military warehouses and throw some money at the Kukuevskys for poverty....
    It is clear that quite a bit of it has already been raked out, but not everything.

    Quantity inevitably turns into quality; that's the law. And instead of the Old Guard come Maria Louise.

    Norway has been appointed responsible for the air defense missile system and components in NATO. It is happy to try, but is already concerned that the warehouses might be empty. Now they want to push 10 launchers and 4 command vehicles (3,5 billion NRK) through their parliament; they have already recently donated one set.

    The Ukrainian Armed Forces have everything.
    The song about help with both weapons and money is the same.
    And it will be even more and more complaining and begging until the end of Ukroreich 404

    We have been hearing these lamentations for many years now, but the missiles are not running out. Do not deceive yourself, such articles are designed to extract more money for the Western military-industrial complex.

    Western readers should probably burst into tears of pity for the Ukrainian hopelessness and demand that the US Congress make an immediate decision to help Ukraine. Take care of your own internal problems, and think about Ukraine last.

    The Ukrainian Armed Forces will have enough ammunition until spring. Perhaps this will happen in the event of the destruction of strategically important bridges and a tunnel through which military echelons are now calmly moving towards the LBS

    The weaker the air defense will be, the more Ukrainians they'll kill you - isn't that your main goal?

    "The Ukrainian Armed Forces will have enough ammunition for air defense until spring"....
    I don't understand, where is our participation????
    And in general, a question for the command of the RF Armed Forces. Why are these “ammunition” still available????
    It looks like the Americans have again reached an agreement with our hucksters at the Genius Headquarters.
