You can't fault us for Russia to take on a country that supported by an alliance.you are only at war by proxy and you are how many country ? on other hand Russia is at war and it is only one country , now add the military budget of the countries who support Ukraine and compared that with Russia and that give you a more clear view .
so if your stocks reduce to critical level ,that's sign of well soon you go get ammo from Morocco and Malaysia . you only had higher stock than russia so you could postpone it but the amount of ammunition that is being used in ukraine is on another level and i don't think previously anybody have ever used such volume of fire power
And you can't fault us Russia is only 1/6 of our military spending.
The problem is, we aren't reduced to that "Critical" level, the requirement for DoD is we need to have 50% ready to use stock, and 25% reserve stock, which mean if we gave them more than 25% of our stock, then our situation is "Critical" as per DoD guidelines.
And the process goes.
Resupply via normal production -> Resupply via ramped up production -> Resupply via War Production -> Buy off the shelve from another country.
The US is at most at stage 2 in this process, while Russia is now at stage 4. Again, what do you expect when they use on average 20,000 rounds a day, we are now at day 293, which mean around 6 million rounds had been expanded, compare to US supplying only 865000 rounds to Ukraine. Can you see the different?
