The US is increasing the number of ammunition, but it will take a couple of years, so in the short term of the Armed Forces, ammunition should be supplied with international allies. "I personally sit in my office every morning and spend 30 minutes on 155mm ammunition," said US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Officials reported that the United States was aware that through the use of thousands of ammunition daily, stocks would be burned.
Therefore, Baiden administration intensified the efforts to support the Armed Forces counter -offensive.

The states themselves are planning to increase the production of ammunition to 90,000 a month from the current 24,000. research.
Therefore, the United States has already transferred more ammunition than purchased for their own army in 10 years. According to the Center for A New American Security Center, the Pentagon has purchased about 790,000 155 mm ammunition over the last 10 years, and more than 2 million has been transferred to Ukraine. In addition, Ukraine provided cassette ammunition so that the Armed Forces could maintain the pace of offensive. Currently, Ukrainian artillery produces about 8,000 shells a day.
