 U.S. significantly increases production of 155-millimeter shells to provide to Ukraine. The United States is significantly increasing the production of 155-millimeter artillery ammunition to provide the armed forces of Ukraine with a sufficient number of weapons. The Washington Post reported this. The U.S. Presidential Administration has now focused on expanding the production of 155-millimeter artillery shells, which proved critical for Ukraine during the counter-offensive. It is reported that in the winter, Ukrainian troops received American training in modern maneuvers using combined arms means, but Ukraine allegedly largely jettisoned these tactics, instead embracing an attritional, artillery-heavy approach as it seeks to breach Russian minefields and fiercely defended lines of trenches. U.S. officials say this will require Ukraine to provide a reliable supply of artillery shells. India claimed that Ukrainian forces have created a munitions advantage on the battle's southern front by using extended-range missiles from France and Britain to strike Russian ammunition depots behind the front lines. The publication with reference to the Ukrainian forces writes that these strikes will be effective only when the Ukrainian armed forces break through the Russian defence. Since February 2022, the Pentagon has signed contracts for the production of 155-millimeter shells worth US$2.26 billion, which helped increase American production from 14,000 units per month before the full-scale Russian invasion to about 20,000 per month. Production should soon reach 28,000 units per month and by the autumn of 2025, the production is expected to ramp up to 1 million shells per year. Officials in the United States refused to specify how much of the shells will go to Ukraine. These companies participate in the production of shells. The U.S. Department of Defence is also investing in expanding production lines. The European Union is also trying to solve the problem. In the summer, the European Union approved a plan that provided for the production of 650,000 large-caliber ammunition per year and pledged to supply 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine over the next 12 months.
