Can’t they just dip into all those big DOGE savings?
How did the US military get low on ammo? Ukraine surely isn't using that much.
Missiles are expensive, especially US ones. Other military equipment is even more expensive. A THAAD system is between 1 and 2 billions, and some of them were obliterated by Iranian drones. Since the drone wars evolved so fast they may as well be outdated.
It also doesn't necessarily mean they're down to the equivalent of breaking out the T55s like Russia did, more that they've seen an opportunity for more money and went with it.
