Two Fronts: Where to Ukraine Search Ammunition if the war in Israel will stretch for years

The tanal is constantly needed rockets for the Iron Dome, and the ground operation in the Gaza sector will generate an unexpected demand for 155mm artillery shells and other weapons. States run the risk of being in a vulnerable position if there are two great wars. Ukraine needs to help weapons and pour money for social and humanitarian expenditures. The Pentagon is seriously concerned about the increase in ammunition reserves to support Ukraine and Israel.

Two intense wars require a large number of shells. Israel asks for high -precision aviation ammunition and missiles to the Iron Dome Air Defense system. If the tanal begins a land invasion into the Gaza Sector, a new and quite unexpected demand for 155 mm artillery ammunition and other weapons will appear. The US and their allies have already exhausted their reserves in more than 18 months of fighting in Ukraine, according to US Defense Ministry.

Israel has its powerful industrial base, the country produces a large amount of advanced weapons. Prolonged land campaign will quickly deplete all reserves, said defense officials. The Joint Pentagon Headquarters and the Logistics Command work around the clock after the war of Hamas fighters with Israel. The Pentagon tries to determine Israel's long -term needs in ammunition and find ways to roll them out, the authors of the material indicate.

States may be in a vulnerable position if they support two great wars at the same time. Washington should be assisted not only by weapons but also by money in the social and humanitarian spheres. "Much depends on the long -term military strategy. It is now evident that the US seeks to support both conflicts. Such plans can be successful and says US public opinion. Republicans support more Israel. It is no coincidence Focus Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Research Igor Semivolos.

Warning wars in Israel and Ukraine, Russia, Iran and China are leading a political game whose purpose is to undermine the Union of Western countries, the expert said. It is worth noting that Republicans in the House of Congress did not support the idea of ​​the White House to associate assistance to Ukraine with a urgent package of Israel's support.

The NBC channel, citing party representatives, reported that Congressman Michael Bergess from Texas was in favor of Israel's priority assistance in the Hamas war. After that, in his opinion, it is possible to proceed to discussing the assistance of Kiev. And Georgia Margori Taylor Green, a Republican from Georgia, believes that the help of Israel and Ukraine is a variety of problems. Green refused to vote for providing military support to Kiev.

On October 9, a high -ranking representative of the US Department of Defense announced contact with US weapons manufacturers to accelerate the execution of available Israeli orders for military equipment. A few days ago, this need was considered not so urgent. "We can do both, and we will do it [will finance two wars - ed. ] The US can support Israel and Ukraine in military plan.

The sudden start of the fighting in the Gaza sector puts Israel in the center of attention, meetings on this issue are already called "the most important contact group", American officials say. In 2014, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhah urgently asked the US ammunition for tanks and other equipment, and his request was immediately approved by the Expatamic Barack Obama. But now the state's reserve stock is not as large as before.

Earlier this year, the United States exported hundreds of thousands of ammunition from reserves in Israel to help Ukraine, CNN said. According to the head of the Security Programs of the Center of Globalism "XXI", captain of 1 rank in the stock of Pavel Lakichuk, it is unknown how much the hot phase of Israel's war with Hamas will last. If it all end in months or weeks, Ukraine does not feel the difference in military deliveries. With a long war in Israel and more players, it will be difficult.

"The event is increasing the number of ammunition, but the Ukrainian army is short. The expert estimates that the front size in Israel and Gaza is much smaller than in Ukraine. "The North of Israel with the Livan" Hezbolla "militants, the Golan heights area and the Gaza Sector-all territories do not exceed one Limano-Kupyan direction. The scale of the Middle East is completely different, the use of forces is different.

When the US military is saying that needs and needs and needs Forms of assistance do not intersect, they are not far from the truth, "Lakichuk added. It should be emphasized that US National Security Council, John Kirby, announced on October 11, it was exhausted to support Ukraine and Israel with current appropriations. "Thanks to our exhibiting and the authority we have all right. But it will not continue forever.

I think that in the near future, we can continue to support - with the authorities in the appropriations we have - Israel and Ukraine. But you know, we definitely end the runway, "he said. Recall that NATO is expecting Russia's inability to go on a large -scale offensive by the end of this year. According to Western analysts, Moscow is unable to produce the right amount of ammunition and weapons. Focus earlier wrote about combining military assistance packages for Israel and Ukraine.
