Ammunition with US aid is already being delivered to frontline – military expert Zgurets

7 may, 2024

Defense Express analyst Serhiy Zgurets believes that ammunition from new military aid packages from the United States is already being delivered to the frontline

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

“The supply of various types of weapons from the United States can come from the Pentagon’s stockpiles and be on the battlefield quite quickly. However, even such a fast pace of supply takes place within a few weeks. We also remember that when the US aid package was being prepared, there was information that certain weapons were already in Poland and Germany and would be quickly redirected to Ukraine. This concerned primarily ammunition. Therefore, I think that ammunition of various calibers has already begun to be delivered to the front line and is affecting the nature of the fighting,” explained Zgurets.

According to the analyst, military equipment from the new US aid packages should also appear on the front line soon.

“Now the intensity of our artillery use has increased significantly. This confirms the assumption that ammunition is already being actively sent to the front. As for such models as Bradley, Hummer or Patriot systems, the supply of these types of weapons will take place at a longer pace,” he added.

On May 1, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the United States would provide Ukraine with “as many ATACMS missiles as we can” and called on partners to provide Patriot systems.

  • On April 26, Pentagon Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the largest military aid package from the United States to Ukraine, totaling $6 billion.
  • According to The New York Times, Ukraine will receive the main installments of the new round of US military aid, which was recently voted on by the US Parliament, no earlier than the summer.

  1. Food for thought:
    We stopped sending aid to Ukraine around October 2023. The Czechs found 800,000 rounds of artillery ammo in February 2024. It’s now May 2024 and OUR AMMO is already reaching the frontlines. Where is the European ammo???
    Furthermore, the US is willing to fully use mafia assets to help Ukraine, but Europe is not.
    If Trump criticizes the Europeans over aid to Ukraine, you can only agree with him.

    • Nato, the EU and Europe has failed Ukraine very badly. They have never given anywhere near enough. The ammo that the Czechs sourced could take another year!
      But Trumpkov is in no position to criticize, since he and his magaputler shitheads have caused the death of thousands of Ukrainians.
      Worse : his magaputler media : Z; aka X, Breitbart and Hateway Pundit has poisoned the tiny minds of his despicable fans against Ukraine.

      • I see Ukraine retaking Donbas, Trump being elected, and Crimea being surrendered in exchange for Nato membership. Free off my liver.

        • You might be right. But I don’t want those cunts to get any reward for their vile genocide.

            • Of course.
              Had putler offered a peace deal to Zel in early February 2022:
              “We sign a treaty; with Budapest signatories as witnesses.
              I take Crimea, I leave everywhere else and you join Nato.”

              (But putler wanted and still wants everything. He thinks he will get it from Trumpkov).

              I think Zel would have signed.
              But now, after genocide, torture, rape, dismemberment and child murder, he’s in no position to give anything to nazi shitstains.

              • It will all depend on Ukrainian success in Donbas. Ukraine cannot waste all young men for a mission doomed to fail. If Nato would get actively involved, that would of course be a game-changer.

              • That’s right. This war has reached a point of no return as far as a peace deal is concerned with the war criminals.

      • Of course, he’s still a maga maggot, scradge, but my point was his criticism of Europe. This war, after all, is a European war and right next door to all those lethargic clowns who seem to think it’s in South America or Africa.

    • Well, true, Mr. Ofp. However, the US ammo had been produced in recent months and got stacked up in warehouses (probably in Europe, shortening the transport), ready for delivery. The ammo of the Czech initiative, on the other hand, reportedly comes from old storage in countries that still are somewhat friendly with Russia. So, those governments would like some discretion, in order to not become targets of Putin’s fury. Apart from Nato members once again delaying their financial support, that’s probably the main problem. As we have discussed here before, we can’t even be certain if this ain’t a giant fraud, with corrupt officials and FSB agents laughing all the way to the bank. All we can do is wait for news. ☹

      • It doesn’t matter if the Czech initiative is real or a giant fake, Mr. Gray. Fact is that Ukraine has hardly received any artillery ammo in the months we didn’t send anything. Europe is in no hurry, so it seems. It sits on massive amounts of war material, including badly needed air defense. As a reminder, this war is right next door and not in far-away Africa or South America. Ukraine is geographically closer to Germany than Spain.

        • Sadly, so true, Mr. Ofp. You know that I’m a European patriot, so it pains me to admit that the EU has proven to be not up to the challenge of defending freedom and democracy in Ukraine. But embarassingly, it’s true, those efforts have nowhere been large enough. Damn! 😳

  2. “On May 1, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the United States would provide Ukraine with “as many ATACMS missiles as we can….”

    Imponderables: 3700 of these have been built. We don’t know how many of those are the max. 390 km range, we don’t know how many Ukraine will receive and how many are being manufactured at present for Ukraine’s future use.
    1000 of these deployed as artfully as we know the Ukrainians can, will be a great equalizer.
    Denys Davydov speculates that the Ukrainians are waiting for the delivery of Tomahawks to smash the putler bridge. Whereas ATACMS will be used to degrade orc positions.
    As the putinaZis have launched yet another obscene, vile terror attack today, they have to be made to suffer; preferably as horribly as their victims.

    • I must have missed the part where Denys Davydov suggested Ukrainians are waiting for Tomahawks to destroy the illegal Kerch Bridge. Personally I think Ukraine will have the Neptune capable before that happens.

      • Well Ukraine will have to wait until hell freezes over before they get Taurus missiles. I also doubt that Biden will do anything to upset putler. Ukraine will need to destroy this bridge themselves.

        • That’s what I think, too. We just can’t rely on spineless jellyfish to do the right thing.

      • He said it on a recent video that you posted. Even though there is no mention of US even thinking about them at the moment.
        Pundits also think that Taurus can hurt the putler bridge.
        Storms and ATACM’s have the range, but they seem to be divided as to what level of damage they can inflict.

        • It’s very possible I missed the reference Sir Scradge. It would make the job a bit easier and have greater impact if Ukraine DID have Tomahawks and Taurus, but if we’re waiting around for them rashists will have the rail line done before discussions and debates are done.

      • No shit, Bill. By the time Ukraine gets a capable weapon to destroy the bridge, Ukraine will have built some on their own already.
