Maybe just enough to last a few days.
At the beginning of December 2023, it was freezing cold.
Zelensky traveled thousands of miles to the United States to personally 'ask for money', and the old Biden smiled and warmly entertained.
But so. The smiling old Biden did not let Zelensky get the tens of billions of dollars in aid that he 'wanted'.
Therefore, Zelensky finally got his hands on only the pitiful1.$7.5 billion
For the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield with a daily consumption of hundreds, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, what can the Ukrainian army do with this lost money?
All say".As soon as the cannon sounded, **10,000 taels!
Well, I'll use 155-mm shells as a reference.
I searched for it, and then I saw that The Paper published a related article on October 31, 2023.
The article mentions that NATO's 155mm artillery shells to Ukraine have skyrocketed due to demand, [New** per coin: $8,400!
This was said by Rob Bowen (Admiral of Finland), senior military adviser to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, at the NATO forum.
Shocked!I pinched my fingers and counted: 17,58400 =20833 pieces
So, how long can this 20,833 shells keep the Ukrainian army in service?
To be realistic, no one knows the actual daily consumption of shells on both sides, and it is all up to guessing.
And the consumption will also vary depending on the war.
According to the amount guessed on the Internet, the average daily consumption of the Ukrainian army: about 5,000 or more!
So, 1$7.5 billionPerhaps it will only be enough for the Ukrainian army to last for a few days.
Rob Bowen also said that before the Russia-Ukraine conflict, NATO's 155mm artillery shells were not so expensive, and they were average$2,100 piece
But now it can't be done at this price.
According to NATO, it is the cost factors such as time, labor, raw materials, and capacity expansion.
So, the 155-mm shell became'The world's most coveted cargo'
On this battlefield, where at least 60% of the ** is caused by artillery, it is estimated that both sides were at the height of the fightingThe daily consumption is tens of thousands.
In the Ukrainian army in 2022, although its shell consumption is very amazing, there are always the United States and the West pouring strong pills into it to replenish blood.
As the inventory of artillery shells in the United States and the West is depleted, and the production capacity of new artillery shells cannot keep up, some of the two or three hundred artillery pieces that the United States and the West have aided Ukraine have been forced to 'stop work'.
I remember that in March 2023, the then Minister of Defense of the Ukrainian Army, Alexei Reznikov, said: "With just 155 mm caliber artillery shells, the Ukrainian army needs to use up an average of 110,000 shells per month." ”
Now the funds of the United States and Western countries to aid Ukraine are 'shrinking'.
So, how many shells can be fired from the artillery of the Ukrainian army?--Xiaoya's perspective].
