The U.S. is aiming to increase production of 155 mm artillery shells that are in high demand due to the war in Ukraine, which has eaten into U.S. and NATO munitions stockpiles.
Former Pentagon official Brent Sadler reacts to calls for accountability in the Afghanistan withdrawal and discusses the U.S. military’s ability to challenge China while supporting Ukraine.
in February 2022, the U.S. and its allies have ramped up security assistance for the Ukrainian military through existing stockpiles and increased production. One of the most in-demand items is 155 mm artillery, which the U.S. and NATO allies use and is being integrated into Ukraine’s armed forces as a replacement for Soviet-era artillery – but U.S. and European production has lagged Ukraine’s consumption to date.
Ukraine has consumed 155 mm artillery at a rate of 6,000 to 8,000 shells per day at times this year, according to comments in April by Ukrainian parliamentarian Oleksandra Ustinova, who serves on the country’s wartime oversight committee. The U.S. and allies supporting Ukraine have provided it with 155 mm artillery systems in part to reduce its military’s reliance on Soviet-era munitions that aren’t produced in the U.S. and Europe. Transitioning to NATO standard munitions allows the U.S. and its NATO allies in Europe to supply Ukraine through existing stockpiles and from ongoing production.
