Ukraine to Receive Promised Shells Soon Despite Funding and Quality Issues
TL;DR Summary
Central Europe's largest ammunition supplier, Czechoslovak Group (CSG), reports that 50% of the shells sourced for Ukraine are faulty due to quality and cost issues, causing delays in delivery. Despite these challenges, CSG remains on track to deliver ammunition by June. The $1.7 billion project, funded by 15 EU states and NATO, aims to deliver 800,000 artillery shells to Ukraine, with half a million rounds expected by year-end. The shortage of ammunition has significantly impacted Ukraine's military capabilities in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
