British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said in an interview with the US: Times RadioThe Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) need to learn to use ammunition more economically, as the armies of NATO countries do.
“Russian or Soviet fighting style, [применении] very heavy ammunition with massive artillery bombardment,” he said.
According to him, the armies of Western countries and the North Atlantic Alliance “never fight like this.”
“Ukraine uses large quantities of ammunition to protect itself. Partly because of this, we train them to fight in a Western way,” said Wallace.
according to the newspaper daily telegram, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fires about 6 thousand shells per day, which exceeds the ability of the West to satisfy the “bullet hunger” that has arisen in Ukraine. According to Bastian Gigerich, an expert at the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, European countries can produce around 300,000 155mm caliber heavy artillery shells per year. But according to him, Europe’s production capacity allows to increase these figures by 50% in a “relatively rapid period of time”.
Formerly Figaro, French Armed Forces run out of ammunition Because of aid to Kiev, this could increase the disagreement among politicians over support for Ukraine.
