WNU Editor: When you look at the details, this announcement is a disappointment. The US, France, Germany, Norway are the only countries that have signed contracts to increase their ammo-making capacity ....

For the past few weeks I have been hearing and reading reports from Ukraine that they are limiting their use of ammunition, and if the current rate of use and re-supply from the West continues, they will be out by July. To say that this is going to be a disaster for Ukraine is an understatement.
