Ammunition with US aid is already being delivered to frontline – military expert Zgurets

Defense Express analyst Serhiy Zgurets believes that ammunition from new military aid packages from the United States is already being delivered to the frontline

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

“The supply of various types of weapons from the United States can come from the Pentagon's stockpiles and be on the battlefield quite quickly. However, even such a fast pace of supply takes place within a few weeks. We also remember that when the US aid package was being prepared, there was information that certain weapons were already in Poland and Germany and would be quickly redirected to Ukraine. This concerned primarily ammunition. Therefore, I think that ammunition of various calibers has already begun to be delivered to the front line and is affecting the nature of the fighting,” explained Zgurets.

According to the analyst, military equipment from the new US aid packages should also appear on the front line soon.

“Now the intensity of our artillery use has increased significantly. This confirms the assumption that ammunition is already being actively sent to the front. As for such models as Bradley, Hummer or Patriot systems, the supply of these types of weapons will take place at a longer pace,” he added.

On May 1, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the United States would provide Ukraine with “as many ATACMS missiles as we can” and called on partners to provide Patriot systems.
