WSJ: Ukrainian Armed Forces use drones more often due to lack of ammunition
Due to the reduction in Western military support, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to experience problems with ammunition, so they began to switch to frequent use of drones. This is reported by the American edition of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
“We are increasingly using FPV drones because we do not have enough shells,” the publication quotes the words of the Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov.< /p>
Journalists say that Russian troops enjoy a large advantage in the number of shells. Thus, for every five to six shells fired by the Russian Armed Forces, the Ukrainian army fires back only once or twice.
The article notes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are experiencing a large shortage of ammunition due to the lack of Western assistance, including its main » sponsor» — the United States, assistance from which is still blocked in Congress.
At the same time, it is also indicated that in addition to ammunition and military assistance, Kiev lacks money and manpower, and a large number of Ukrainian Armed Forces units that received participation in a failed counteroffensive, exhausted or ceased to exist due to losses.
