The West should trade them for some tactical nukes
Perhaps the Czechs can start a collection drive to purchase the shells and the weapons being retired.
In theory SK could draw down it’s supply by a proportional amount to what NK has shipped to Russia.
They could then replace it with newly produced stock.
With all of Kim Jong Un threats to South Korea I’m concerned. I would love to see South Korea send to Ukraine and if they do does that mean the USA whom is stationed on DMZ have enough should an attack take place so sending to Ukraine is OK?
yes, especially North.
Which of the guns that Ukraine operates will use 105mm ammunition? I haven’t seen this caliber mentioned yet.
I’m going to get hate for this, but South Korea is in the most obvious situation to NOT deplete its stocks, ever basically. But we can buy their manufacturing capacity and receive as much as they can make
…does Ukraine have 105mm guns?
They won’t benefit for shit if they don’t have guns that can fire the rounds. Also depends on size of the charges.
The zumwalts have 155mm guns but cannot fire any 155mm rounds except those designed specifically for them.
Arn’t some of the Czech amount from SK?
Not going to happen, they have an artillery standoff with NK
I think we have learned over the past couple of years that 3 million shells aren’t shit when fighting a near peer enemy, so I think countries are reluctant to give up any shells especially when you’re neighbors with dictators.
If these countries/companies were smart, they would up production of artillery shells and sell sell sell.
