The Berlin government specified that the deliveries were coming from industry stocks financed with public funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local newspaper Der Spiegel reported that rounds were ordered from Bulgaria, a key producer of this type of ammunition in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMost of Ukraine\u2019s artillery is still from the Soviet era \u2013 standards were 122mm, 130mm and 152mm, so getting more of this caliber ammunition for Kyiv is valuable,\u201d Mark Cancian, senior adviser for the international security program at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian forces still rely on older equipment, including the D-30 or 2S1 Gvozdika howitzers, which can only fire non-NATO rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Munich Conference, the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, said his government was also able to source nearly one million rounds from abroad, including 800,000 of the 155mm type and 300,000 of the 122mm type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the ammunition could be sent swiftly to the embattled country if funding was secured from other allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBuying ammunition on the world market makes a lot of sense because of limits on what Europe and the U.S. can produce \u2013 Washington has done a lot of that already, having provided 200,000 152mm, 40,000 130mm, and 40,000 of 122mm type,\u201d Cancian said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A recent report by the CSIS think tank noted that shortages of Soviet-standard shells \u2013 122mm and 152mmm \u2013 have gradually decreased the value of Soviet-era artillery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the United States has scouted the globe to buy this type of ammunition, Cancian says that some states may just be more inclined to sell it to nations other than the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are likely some countries who will sell to the Czech Republic but not the U.S. and who may also want to remain anonymous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nick Reynolds, research fellow for land warfare at the London-based RUSI think tank, said Ukraine should still strive to convert its artillery equipment to the NATO standard over time, as newer munitions are superior in explosive power, range and accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, he added, \u201cthe scale of the war and the material requirements are enormous. Ukraine is firing 155mm shells and wearing out 155mm barrels far faster than either can be produced in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid a looming ammunition
