Ukraine's Need for Old-School Munitions
Amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia, Ukraine faced shortages of essential military supplies, such as 155-millimeter artillery shells and black powder, which are crucial for their frontline operations. The traditional warfare tactics employed by Russia caught the U.S. off guard, leading to the need for ramping up production in aging munitions factories in Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and Texas. This unexpected demand for conventional ammunition highlighted the necessity of investing in old-school weaponry to meet the challenges of modern warfare.
