How long to replenish US weapons sent to Ukraine | Eastern NC Now

Some stockpiles have become nearly depleted

ENCNow

Even at emergency production rates, it will take several years before the U.S. is able to restock supplies of critical munitions sent to Ukraine, according to a recent analysis conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington, D.C. based think tank.

The U.S. has sent millions of rounds of ammunition of various kinds to Ukraine, according to a Thursday fact sheet from the Department of Defense (DOD), which has resulted in severe deficits in some cases. Only one of the six weapons where stockpiles have fallen dangerously low is projected to reach normal levels within five years, assuming no further deliveries to Ukraine, leaving the U.S. scrambling for alternatives, Mark Cancian, a former artillery officer and Pentagon acquisition official, found in a report published in CSIS.

IF the US is attacked will the US military have enough weapons to defend our country?

Some of the weapons systems sent have either been phased out or are in the process of being phased out. For example, we have recently sent Ukraine an earlier generation of Sea Sparrow anti-missile missiles, which have been replaced in our own service by a newer generation, but can be fired from Ukraine's Soviet designed S-300 anti-aircraft batteries. That is a win-win, giving Ukraine something it can use but is obsolete for us.

Any critical mumitions sent need to be replaced in our own arsenals ASAP.

Congress needs to shift money from the stupid "climate" spending to national defense.
