After sending large military aid packages to Zelensky\u2019s Ukraine, the UK is now “dangerously low” on ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ammunition stocks in the United Kingdom are now at “dangerously low levels” as a result of the country giving supplies to Ukraine, according to the United Kingdom’s Defence Select Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the latest in a series of recent warnings about the state of Britain’s military, with one former general predicting that the country would likely run out of ammunition after just one day in a direct conflict with Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A similar warning has now been issued by the MPs who sit on the Defence Select Committee, with a report published on Tuesday detailing the dire situation the country\u2019s military now finds itself in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is clear that the UK and its NATO Allies have allowed ammunition stockpiles to dwindle to dangerously low levels,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also warns that Britain is facing significant supply-side issues when it comes to obtaining new ammunition, implying that it could take “more than a decade” for the country to replenish its arsenal after sending billions of dollars in military equipment to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“While Russia’s stockpiles are being reduced, other adversaries are able to maintain and potentially increase their own,” the report added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our inability to replenish UK stockpiles thus jeopardises not only our ability to resupply Ukraine, but also our ability to counter any threat to our own security.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
