Munitions stockpiles not big enough to take on China | Eastern NC Now

In a whirlwind of hearings in March, Pentagon leaders revealed how much the Ukraine war has cut into American munitions stockpiles.

Massive rates of ammunition consumption from the war have caused the Pentagon to reevaluate needs for a potential China contingency.

“One of the big lessons coming out of Ukraine is the incredible consumption of conventional munitions and the conduct of what is really a limited regional war. So, a great power war, if that were to ever happen — God forbid it does — the consumption rates would be incredible,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said.

I have been wondering for some time if drawing down other countries munition supplies and leaving them short wasn't Russia's plan all along. Remember Russia and China are now working together.
