Loading ...S Korea Will Lend 500,000 Artillery Shells To Shore Up Drained US Arsenal, Help Ukraine
In a move that could help the US government supply Ukraine with ammunition, South Korea has agreed to lend the Pentagon 500,000 155mm artillery shells, Reuters reports, citing a South Korean newspaper.
As the Pentagon relentlessly pours weapons and ammunition into its Ukraine proxy war against Russia, the American arsenal has been rapidly depleted, to the point that the Biden administration is going around begging to buy or “borrow” ammo from other countries.
The United States has given Ukraine more than a million 155mm shells. The Korean deal will provide some relief to US stockpiles and thus the Ukrainian supply chain, but apparently came after significant hand-wringing in Seoul.
I guess we can take North Korea off the threat list then. Would you give up your bullets if you figured a gun fight was imminent?
The US Govt is accusing North Korea of suppling artillery shells to Russia while securing artillery shells from South Korea for Ukraine.
How do you “lend” ammo ?
Make sure to return it when you are done ?
