Ukrainian troops paint a grim picture of the battlefield, grappling with difficulties exacerbated by the relentless onslaught of Russian kamikaze drones wreaking havoc at close range. However, inadequate weapon production capacity has compounded the delivery of military equipment to the country.
Russia has raised concerns about India-made ammunition reaching Ukraine through Europe in the third quarter of last year. The matter was raised by Moscow, following reports that Ukraine may have received Indian 155mm artillery shells. The security establishment is probing the possibility of India-made artillery landing in a third country via arms dealers or in collusion with a partner country.
As Ukraine rapidly burns through 155mm artillery rounds to fight back the Russian invasion, the U.S. Army is scrambling to increase production capacity.
