Is America Running Out of Ammo to Send to Ukraine?

SKELETON OF ITS FORMER GLORY
"Your country, with the symbol of the eagle, the proud bald eagle so pure and white, has been plucked! It is but a skeleton of its former glory, slowly starved of the light. – Our Lady, September 28, 1979

"You must inform My children in your country that they must put into your government God-fearing men who follow the rules of the Father. If you bring murderers into the house, robbers and thieves, they will rob you until nothing remains. You will be stripped of all earthly wealth and this wealth will be turned over to one small group to govern the lives of many!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1974

HIGHEST PLACES OF RULE
"Your world and your country wallow in a cesspool of error, corruption, and debasement. Satan has set among you in the highest places of rule, giving them power for the destruction of human souls. These agents of hell have been placed in your schools to destroy your young; in your government to bring you to your knees before one who is not of God; and sadly, his agents have entered into the House of God to do battle." - Our Lady, September 13, 1973

19FortyFive.com reported on Janury 14, 2023:

by Brent M. Eastwood

Ukraine is burning through ammunition for 155mm howitzers quickly and it is leaving the United States in a bind, according to a new report by think tank CSIS.

It could take up to five years for the industrial base to produce enough rounds to replenish American stocks.

It is not just cannon shells. Javelin and Stinger missiles could take six to eight years to normalize for the U.S. inventory.

This calls into question whether the Americans could fight another war against an adversary such as China without running out of ammunition.

The Level of Ammunition Provided Is Alarming

The United States has transferred over a million 155mm shells, including precision guided rounds, to Ukraine since the war started almost a year ago.

CSIS rates this as a condition “red” for the United States military, which means it is “unlikely to rebuild inventories within five years.”

Excaliburs, Javelins, and Stingers Will Be Difficult to Replace

Excalibur precision-guided rounds are also on the wane. Ukraine has received 5,200 rounds of these munitions. The United States is sending around 1,000 Excaliburs a month but annual production of the valuable munition is 1,000 rounds a year. It could take up to seven years to replace American stocks for this type of ammunition.

Up to 8,500 Javelin anti-tank missiles have been sent to the battlefield and 1,600 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles have been transferred, according to a chart in the report that was compiled using Pentagon sources and news reports.

The U.S. Military Needs Ammo Too – Even in Peacetime

CSIS pointed out that the U.S. military field artillery soldiers and marines need shells to train and retain proficiency, not to mention the ammunition required if there were a war. The conflict in Ukraine has been an artillery duel since the outset. Russia’s army is sometimes described as an artillery force with tanks. Ukraine also blasts away with U.S. provided M777 towed howitzers that were first sent in April. The defenders have recently been granted the American Paladin 155mm self-propelled howitzer – the jewel of the Army field artillery branch. This system will require more shells.

Ukraine Firing Over 4,000 Artillery Rounds Every Day

The report estimated that Ukraine is firing 143,000 shells a month or close to 4,700 rounds each day. This is unsustainable for the United States. Other militaries among the allied coalition will have to step in at some point to be the sources for artillery rounds. CSIS analyst Mark Cancian wrote that this scenario could become a crisis. Ukraine may have to “ration shells and fire at only the highest priority targets.”

Heavy Fighting Requires Ample Artillery Fire

This condition would be untenable for the Ukrainians as the current heavy fighting in the Donetsk region, especially around the towns of Bakhmut and Soledar, require significant artillery fire since Russian soldiers are advancing in waves.

Does the DoD Have This Under Control?

A spokesman for the Pentagon has somewhat acknowledged the problem but believes that the military is monitoring the problem closely. Air Force Brigadier General Pat Ryder did not seem too concerned about dwindling stocks of ammunition. “We will not go below our readiness requirements as we take into consideration what Ukraine’s security assistance needs are,” Ryder said in a news release transcript.

Maybe South Korea Can Help

One source that could potentially help alleviate the problem is South Korea. The South Korean military has a large artillery force and a productive industrial base that could provide 155mm shells to Ukraine. Ryder said the Pentagon is in discussions with the South Korean government to further assist supply efforts. The United States agreed to buy 100,000 rounds from South Korea in November, but Ukraine will go through these quickly.

Use a Different Size of Round Instead

Another difficult choice would be for Ukraine to use lighter, shorter-range, and less lethal 105mm howitzers and ammunition, but the defenders obviously prefer the harder hitting rounds and the Excalibur GPS-guided projectile.

This Issue Needs Oversight

Lawmakers in Congress may want to hold a hearing on this problem. There are Republicans who are skeptical of the entire premise of assisting Ukraine financially and militarily and this situation will add grist to their mill. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley may have to field some difficult questions about how the U.S. military can continue to transfer shells and other weapons to Ukraine and whether other countries can pick up the slack.

GOVERNMENT
"For that one reason among many, the United States will suffer unless there is placed into your government a group that fears the Lord if they cannot love the Lord. They will fear Him and find measures to stop the slaughter of the unborn." - Our Lady, April 14, 1984

Our Lady of the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

HIGHEST PLACES IN CIVIL LIFE
"Satan has entered into the highest places in your civil life, My child, and in the houses of My Son throughout your world. His reign will be short in earth-years. I have not come to your earth to fill you with fear. I have come to prepare you for the days of trial." - Our Lady, April 13, 1974

LAXITY OF LAWMAKERS
"Parents, exercise discipline in your homes, or your children shall be victimized outside their doors. Because of the laxity in the highest places of lawmakers in your country and countries throughout the world, sin has become a way of life! Murders and all manner of foul deeds are being committed!
    "Discipline in government . . . The words are emblazoned: 'In God We Trust', but who is the god they trust? Man has become their god!" - Jesus, May 28, 1977

EAGLE PLUCKED BY SATAN
"Your nation, the United States of America, has been now--the proud eagle has been plucked by satan; and as such shall be cleansed by trial and suffering and war. Humanism and modernism have set you on the road to satanism. Your country and many countries of the world now have adopted the worship of false idols.
    "Satan, the master of deceit, has poisoned many minds. Satan, the ruler of the world of darkness, has now entered into the highest places of governments, and even within My House, My Church upon earth. But I shall cleanse them, as I have cleansed them in the past." - Jesus, June 18, 1980

GREATEST PUNISHMENT TO BABYLON THE GREAT
"Sin has become a way of life in your nation and many nations upon earth. You have, in your country, the gathering of the forces of evil. Never before in the history of mankind has man set up Babylon.
     "Your city, New York, shall be set in reserve for a punishment far greater than shall be given to any city upon your earth. The forces of evil fan out like a cancer, polluting the world.
     "Amen, I say to you: you will listen and act upon the warnings given to you throughout your world by many emissaries from Heaven. Act upon them or be destroyed." - Jesus, June 18, 1976

BRING BACK PUBLIC PRAYER
"Your country must bring back public prayer. Your country must make atonement for the offenses being committed against the God, your Lord, the King of Heaven and earth, your Creator.
     "Man upon earth has chosen to give honor to man. After the great cleansing, the fruits of man's hands shall fall! Much will be reduced to ashes and rubble. He will rebuild in the manner the Father directs, under the direction of the Father.” - Our Lady, August 21, 1973

TO REMOVE CHRISTIANITY
"My dear parents, please! Listen to your Mother. Listen to what I have to say to you, for I tell you the truth. The Eternal Father sees all, and makes us knowledgeable as to what is happening upon earth that will bring its eventual destruction. Your children are being educated in the schools to take all Christianity from their lives, and believe not in the supernatural things of God, but the diabolical processes of satan, in cults.” - Our Lady, June 18, 1987

PRAYER OUTLAWED
"My child and My children, prayer has not become a way of life for many. That is why communism has got such a foothold in your country and in other countries of the world. The prayers given to you in your childhood will be remembered always, I know, My children; but there are those who have not received these prayers in their schools, for prayer has been outlawed in many areas of your country and the world. It took but a few without faith to bring down the flag, for even your country's flag is being defiled, My children.” - Our Lady, October 2, 1987

THE BIBLE
"You will go forward with the cross in your right hand and the Bible, the Book of life, in your left. And all who deny this Book are not of the light." - Our Lady, May 22, 1974

DISCIPLINARIAN
"Parents, you must now become the disciplinarian in your home. You have the major responsibility now for safeguarding the souls of your family. Do not expect your children to be guided the right way in the light by the teachers in your school systems, for all have fallen to satan.” - Jesus, November 1, 1977

YOUTH INDOCTRINATED
"Your children must be protected from the evils that abound in your school systems in your country and most nations throughout the world. They are being taught immorality and a loss of faith in the supernatural and the knowledge of their God. All manner of heresy has been indoctrinated into their youthful minds. It is a diabolical plan of Lucifer.” - Our Lady, June 18, 1979

A FOUL SITUATION
"A foul situation has come about in the schools, both public and private. They are now teaching sex education, My children. And this is a debauchery of your young souls. Parents, are you so blind that you do not investigate, or ask your children what has happened in their classes today at school? Show you no interest as you go about the world gathering materialism, and seeking to break your home apart by husband and wife going in both directions; neither do they work together to hold the home together, but they work apart, many leaving the children astray by not having counsel over them.” - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

PRAY FOR LEADERS
"The leaders of your country and the leaders throughout the world have taken upon themselves a measure of sin creating insanity.
     "In the light of the Spirit descending from Heaven, you shall be given the knowledge of truth, My children. Accept it and take it as your candle, for you must now go throughout your world saving your brothers, preparing them for what lies ahead.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1975

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." - Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899. It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htm , https://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now! (Order Form) Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it.
    Read the Bible cover to cover. If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days. I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time. A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times. Wow!
