Professor at Johns Hopkins University Hal brands in an article for Bloomberg expressed the view that the United States needs to do the conclusion of the conflict in Ukraine. In particular, the Pentagon needs to understand that modern warfare requires a huge amount of ammunition and the amount of weapons.

The expert noted that the war in Ukraine is not a confrontation between two great powers. Meanwhile, the high intensity of the fighting that requires incredible amount of weapons, without which you will not be able to achieve results on the fronts.

The brands recalled that at the beginning of the confrontation between Ukraine and Russia, the United States gave Kiev a third of its stockpile of anti-tank Javelin. Now the American military-industrial complex will take years to produce this amount of weapons.

In addition, according to American Professor, the successful application of Ukrainian troops MLRS HIMARS obliges US to provide Kiev more such weapons. However, these systems occupy a Central place in the American army. If their number will be significantly reduced, for US it will be a factor that can affect national security.

In the end, the Pentagon is extremely difficult to balance between the allies and the satisfaction of their own needs for weapons, as the US army now and she is experiencing some deficiency in the latter.

Based on the foregoing, Hal brands have concluded that the war in Ukraine have shown the lack of U.S. readiness for a military confrontation with China. At least it is obvious that the Pentagon today, it will be extremely difficult to maintain a full supply of the army in the event of a direct military confrontation with China over Taiwan. But the Biden openly threatened China's military support of Taipei from Washington.
