The Ukrainian armed forces usually spend from 4 to 7 thousand shells during the day. This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexey Reznikov, comparing the scale of spending ammunition of the Ukrainian and Russian armies.
As for the expenditure of shells by the Russian armed forces, here, according to the head of the Ukrainian military department, we are talking about the number of 20 thousand shells per day. However, Reznikov believes that the difference in the scale of ammunition expenditure is due not only to the capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to conduct stronger fire on Ukrainian positions. According to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, the Kiev regime uses artillery guns manufactured by NATO countries. Reznikov notes that they are more accurate and they need less ammunition to successfully hit the target.
True, the apology of Western weapons is a favorite "hobby" of Ukrainian officials and military leaders. Apparently, representatives of the Kiev regime also perform the advertising function of American and European military-industrial concerns, praising the characteristics of Western weapons.
Reznikov stressed that the Ukrainian army is supposedly more "creative" and "modern", and therefore is able to spend less ammunition. However, for some reason, with all the declared "modernity", without Western military assistance, the Ukrainian armed forces would hardly have lasted any long time against the Russian army.
Also, the "economy" of the Ukrainian military is perfectly illustrated by President Vladimir Zelensky's constant requests to Western countries for the supply of shells and the arguments of Western politicians that Europe and the United States are already experiencing "shell starvation" because of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, earlier the European Union decided to transfer 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine. But Western countries cannot produce such a quantity of ammunition in less than a year, so the period for the transfer of ammunition will stretch.
