The US military is running low on ammo after sending so much to Ukraine

After six months of aid packages, the U.S. is starting to run low on 155mm howitzer rounds and other ammunition.

taskandpurpose.com

 

[totoro]

Without knowing the leftover stock of 155mm rounds, the claim those 800 thousand sent to Ukraine made us stocks run low is mostly meaningless.

I remember countless media articles over the years about jdam numbers getting low. But ultimately, all that meant is that USAF was using more jdams per year than it was procuring. It'd last for a year or two and the stock would be built up again. At no point did us jdam stock fall by half or something like that. Annual expenditure was perhaps 10% of the stock and inventory was remedied fairly soon.
