The intensity of the conflict in Ukraine is ten times higher than in Afghanistan. There, the alliance forces could fire 300 artillery pieces a day.
The US government has acknowledged that the country does not have the capacity to produce artillery shells to meet the needs of Ukraine, where intense territorial conflict continues. About this on Friday, December 23, the Washington Post wrote.
The publication states that now the United States is able to produce 14 thousand howitzer shells per month, but Ukraine spends more in two days.
“The United States can now produce about 14,000 155mm howitzer shells per month,” Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth said in a comment to the publication.
According to him, States plan to increase the production of artillery ammunition.
According to the newspaper, Washington is also trying to persuade the Europeans to more fully develop their reserves and increase their own industrial capacity to accept part of the obligations to supply arms to Ukraine.
Recall that Putin promised to “click” the Patriot air defense system, which the United States will transfer to the Ukrainian military.
The German government is investigating the possibility of increasing arms supplies to Ukraine after the US decided to provide the Patriot air defense system to Kyiv.
