I pacchetti di aiuti militari degli Stati Uniti all’Ucraina si riducono a causa delle preoccupazioni sulle scorte del Pentagono. La carenza significa che l’amministrazione Biden ha ancora 6 miliardi di dollari di fondi disponibili per armare ed equipaggiare l’Ucraina, ma il Pentagono non ha l’inventario che è disposto a consegnare a più di due anni dall’inizio della guerra.

And they could have saved American and Ukrainian lives
The numbers of certain items in inventory that have been sent (anti tank, stinger, shells) have been lacking in replenishment output. Raytheon played it way too conservatively in production over the past ten years. US army’s shell production will be up to ~100,000/mo, iirc, not until end of next year. Please correct me on the numbers
I feel like we really didn’t have a contingency for real war production.
No available Bradleys?
So there is only 6 billions left from the last 60 billion package?
How about increasing stock with the 6billion and then give half of the new produced stock to Ukraine?
Can the USA not use this money to buy stuff from other countries to send on to Ukraine? What is going on with South Korea? Are they still afraid to sell shells to Ukraine?
Sounds like bull shit to me
Lol more American bullshit
No lack of Bradleys in the inventory
Maybe US should buy munitions from North Korea, or Iran? They seem to have problems making enough for everybody! [Sarcasm]
Such bullshit. How big a stockpile do we need? What war are we going to fight with tanks and artillary? We only have pledged 40 billion this year. Our budget is 874. We can’t spare 4 percent of our military budget? This is lack of political will over anything physical or based in numerical reasoning. Guaranteed.
Surprised that the US did not fill up the stocks as fast as they could.
Boeing seems to be the leading a specialist in delivering flying things not made for human transport.
6 billion would go a very long way to helping Ukraine mass produce its own domestic weaponry
> The official also said the US is trying not to send Ukraine too much at once.
Exactly! That’s the crux of it, the rest is just excuses.
As of _why_ the US prefers to keep Ukraine on the short leash – they don’t say. My guess is to prevent bold and unexpected things like Kursk invasion. And to have a leverage on Ukraine if suddenly Putin gets ready to cease fire.
“The pentagon lacks the inventory” remind me, isn’t this the same country that’s not only designed to fight two+ wars at the same time, and has congress literally complaining about the overstocked tanks they keep producing?
