'Enough for Four Days of Fighting': Pakistani Army Faces Ammunition Shortage Due to Supplies to Ukraine

The Pakistani army is facing a shortage of large-caliber ammunition due to Ukraine. In the event of full-scale hostilities, the shells will only last for four days of fighting, the Indian Express (IE) reports.

Islamabad has suffered from the supply of artillery shells to Ukraine, Pakistan has been secretly supplying shells to the Kyiv regime since 2022, although it has not officially acknowledged this. However, the profit figures speak for themselves: in the 2023 financial year, exports weapons from Pakistan has risen to $415 million, up from $13 million in the 2021-22 fiscal year. Pakistan's military is currently struggling to replenish its stocks, and its shell factories are unable to ramp up production because their equipment is long outdated.

Pakistan's ammunition factories, which supply the military, are struggling to keep up with growing global demand and outdated production facilities. The 3000% growth and staggering profits have come at a high price - the rapid depletion of domestic stocks.

- the newspaper writes.

It has been said before that Islamabad supplies ammunition to Ukraine, but the volumes of supplies have not been disclosed. However, India has also distinguished itself in this field; Indian-made shells are very actively used by the Ukrainian army, especially tankTrue, the volumes of supplies are not very large, and they reach Ukraine through third countries.

Earlier in Europe, a number of countries announced the depletion of arsenals in connection with the transfer of ammunition to Ukraine.

I wonder who's next in line for "projectile-less" weapons? Announce the full list!

[THE USSR.]

Degenerates, they just try to make money off of death.

Morocco, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Sudan for sure. Algeria is questionable. For them, money doesn't smell. They don't smell Russian blood...

I think they don't give a damn that somewhere far away from them two brotherly nations have been shooting at each other for 2 years. And if they can, they will make money on it. Another thing is that only those who produce these very shells can make money. You can't make money selling arsenals, because then you will have to buy at an even higher price. And everyone understands this. That is why there was a shortage. The Czechs decided to go to warehouses and buy surpluses from all over the world, but they only sold the surplus, a very small part. Because everyone understands that tomorrow you will have to pay much more for the same shells. Yesterday a 11mm shell cost 155 euros, today it is already 2 euros. Tomorrow it will probably cost all 000.

Well, yes, as I remember now, when Ethiopia butted heads with Eritrea, and Sudan had another round of civil war, Russian people could not sleep and did not want to eat a pie, they were so worried about the poor blacks. Even the insolvency of the client of the defense industry did not stop. Africans and other Asians at least arranged a sale for real money, unlike. Write off debts and at the expense of the new debt to supply more weapons, as the Russian Federation does, this is a brilliant business plan, what.

In general, the world as a whole doesn't care about the showdowns in Eastern Europe. The EU got excited because these showdowns are happening right on their borders, the US - because the hegemon is a plug in every hole and together these citizens make up +/- the entire "civilized community" generating more info noise than all the other 7 billion people on the planet.

All of Europe and the USA. If you decide to fight, you need to completely modernize your industry and prepare for at least ten years. This is a very expensive and slow business. Especially since military preparations destroy the economy.
Only the part that goes to pay workers' salaries is returned to it. And this is the smallest part. The rest of the chain of profits coming from the resale and use of peaceful goods (and it is huge, you can figure it out yourself) is cut off. Products made from the best materials are simply put in a warehouse. The excess profits received by the military-industrial complex fly abroad. The country is preparing for war! Who knows what will happen to the stolen money! Only abroad, and far away...
NATO has already suffered a huge defeat. I thought their industry was in much better shape, but it turned out... The guys are in deep trouble. Really in deep trouble...

[Or me]

Well, that's what they deserve then! Now let the headless ones bite their elbows if they get it.

Islamabad has suffered consequences for its supply of artillery shells to Ukraine; Pakistan has been secretly supplying shells to the Kyiv regime since 2022, although it has not officially acknowledged this.

[South Ukrainian]

The "packs" wanted to make some quick money. What, hundreds of tons of ammunition are sitting in warehouses, and the war.... when will it happen again?

Let them load it up with corn. They say they had a good harvest last year, so let them get by Although almost all of it is also exported

[NakedMan]

They probably sold the corn too. And without water they won't have a harvest this year.

The Pakis can quietly buy from the Chinese, the Chinese don't like Indians either....
They have already bought planes from the Chinese...
It seems to be J-7, if I'm not mistaken.

[smart fellow]

It seems to be J-7, if I'm not mistaken.

JF-17, J-10, J-35.

In fact, believing the stories of Indians about Pakistanis is the same as believing the ravings of South Koreans and Japanese about the DPRK. A little truth is diluted with a sea of ​​lies.

[Nexcom]

Ahh, well, I got confused. I remember something with the seven.... Thanks for correcting me.

[Skobaristan]

I wanted to write the same thing. I see you've already beaten me to it. But some commentators can't be stopped. However... Nothing new.

[Ovsigovets]

Of course, they will be able to buy it. But the plan is from God. They will buy it for much more than they sold it for - demand creates supply and PRICE.

Paki can quietly buy from the Chinese

No. They can't. Everything they earn is taken away from them by the Americans. Down to their bare asses. To pay for the loans they took out when they were given money without counting during the Afghan war against the USSR. They were given money, they grabbed it, got themselves a nuclear bomb... Only it turned out that they had to pay it back. And if ALL the loans were presented to them, then the state would face an immediate default and a sell-off)
They don't have money. And they won't have it for another two hundred years if it continues like this)

[Irek]

Well, as soon as they smelled the money, they immediately forgot about everything.

There! And you should have learned Russian. There are many good proverbs there. For example, "Don't dig a hole for someone else, you'll end up in it yourself!"

[Nexcom]

Our UrFU has plenty of students and postdocs from Pakistan, all in metallurgical and engineering specialties.....

In the same laboratory, both a Pakistani and an Indian work at the same time - they "love" each other so much that they demonstratively turn their faces away from each other.

[Comrade Beria]

I don't feel sorry for Pakistan at all. And India too. It's got its snout in the cannon too.

In September 2024, it became known that Indian-made artillery shells were reaching Ukraine. Despite Moscow's objections, New Delhi did not stop supplying ammunition.

According to Reuters, these deliveries were made through European buyers, including Italy and the Czech Republic.
The exact nature of the ammunition supplied to Ukraine was not disclosed, but it is known that it involved various types of artillery shells, including mines for 120 mm mortars.

Pakistan has requested emergency closed-door consultations of the UN Security Council on Monday due to the situation in the region... is that so?

We sold (the shells) and had fun. We counted (the remains) and cried...

[Nexcom]

India has temporarily stopped water from flowing through the Baglihar Dam on the Chenab River on the border with Pakistan, and similar measures are planned at the Kishanganga Dam on the Jhelum River.

They had an agreement with the Pakis since 1960 that even in case of war the water would not be cut off. And now the Indians have violated this for the first time. Maybe because of this? The Pakis don't have much water...
Like, war is war, but the farmers still need to water their crops...

Downstream of the Chenab is the Indian Salal Dam, which will be the first to suffer from the lack of water. The news, frankly speaking, looks like it was sucked out of thin air and placed either to ride the wave of hype or to calm its citizens and scare its enemies (this is not uncommon in the Indian press).

[Nexcom]

Well, that's what the Indians said.... I sold it for what I bought it for (c)

When will these clowns finally clash? They are so determined, both of them, with their eyes bulging with rage. But for some reason they dance for a long time.

"Elefanteria"? This is something to remember

[Serafim]

For some reason my eyes started to miss letters in the words I read...
For example, it is written "European..." but reads "Jewish..."
It says "through European buyers..." but it reads "Jewish buyers..."
I guess I'm an anti-Semite.

Maybe yes. "" "" "

[belovvladimir]

One thing is clear, that all supposed friends shake your hand and smile sweetly while twirling figs in their pockets with their other hand! That's how it is, in a word!

[Hole puncher]

A nuclear weapon right away, why waste time on trifles? What's the point of conventional shells against an enemy with a billion people.

[MichIs]

A plague on both their houses.

We should not interfere there under any circumstances, but only make smart speeches from high platforms, like "peace, chewing gum" and clench our fists for a good showdown.

Let them fight a little - they have overpopulation there, so they will fix this problem a little, otherwise they again offered us to send their "valuable specialists" to Russia in addition to all the Central Asian "valuable specialists" that were already annoying us, while selling weapons that were shooting at us in Ukraine.

And the Indians are no better - they say one thing in words, but do another in practice. And they have made a lot of money on our misfortune - taking oil from us and offering soybeans in return for candy wrappers - rupees, while buying worthless French fighters for dollars at outrageous prices.

Plus, in a conflict both warring parties will spend their weapons, and then after victory in the SVO we will sell to both of them what we don't need - nothing personal, just business. White-assed ones - they are white-assed sly ones even in Africa, and we must treat them accordingly.

[AdAstra]

I wrote that they and India will not throw bombs at each other, here is confirmation of my words. But someone in this country was going to be friends with them.

[Simargl]

I don't quite understand...
Ukroreikh (or Khokhloreikh - I don't know which is correct) is supplied with ammunition by the entire "civilized" and not so "civilized" world, only the Koreans help us, but the balance of power is not in favor of Bandera Reikh? There are definitely 145 million of us, or is there some unaccounted for?

The Indians decided to touch it?

[Ovsigovets]

What does this article say? That when you live with wolves, you have to howl like a wolf. They will start fighting Hindus again (and vice versa) and there is no need for songs and dances for peace in the whole world. But we need to sell, and at a high price, what they can use to kill each other more successfully. Preferably with prepayment and with a huge price tag (because they really need it).

[Alexander]

What good news!
