Yesterday I actually wanted to watch a documentary about the Russian army. But after about 45 minutes I realized that I had accidentally selected the naked gun 2½. I should have noticed it sooner. The plot was too serious and intelligent for the Russian armed forces.

USA: "No, you can't use Atacms for long-range strikes." Ukraine: "Fine, I'll do it myself."

מבקש מאלוהים שישמור על אוקראינה ויתן לה נצחון על פוטלר הרשע אמן

russians were always sneering at " Comedian " Zelensky, they call him a joke. They are not laughing now.

Ukraine is on her way to having the most modern, effective and efficient military in all of Europe.

As an American veteran, my only concern with sending ammunition to Ukraine is how much do we send at a time. We don't want to send so much at a time that Russia could target it the same way Ukraine just targeted Russia's stockpiles. That being said, I haven't seen any reports of large Ukrainian stockpiles being hit so I have to assume they don't have many, because they're using the ammunition pretty quickly as it comes in. As for the pentagon running low on ammo, it's possible that calculation is based on how much ammo they think they'll need in the event of a war with China. Not to mention, America has bases all over the world that need to be supplied.

zelensky is Ukraine's ultimate secret weapon. who would have expected a comedian to go head to head against Putin?

Re: US Stockpiles. The accounting is done such that the US can fight two simultaneous wars. When they say the stockpiles are getting low, it means that we are approaching what WE need to fight those two simultaneous wars. Not that we are running out.

The loss is not temporary. Building those storages takes much more time than building an airport. Russia lost ammunition storage facilities that cannot be restored, even when new ammunition is produced. Their ammunition since now on is going to be more concentrated, or in riskier structures. This is a really interesting development indeed.

Using specialists as cannon fodder is desperate madness.

The USA has minimum stockpiles it must keep. When they say they're running low, they mean they're getting close to the minimum, not actually low.

Georgi, The United States has thousands of tons of current ammunition and weapons in storage. We have weapons the world has not even seen. The USA keeps the really cool stuff locked away and only shows it to members of Congress who are on appropriations committees for military budgets. The stockpiles you are reading about are only the ones in the outdated or soon to be outdated stuff. The USA is not running out of weapons or ammunition. My brother was a career officer in the army and he would never tell us any specific details but he consistently told us that the public is not aware to the latest stuff that they will use if and when it is needed. Whatever we see in public is always two or three generations older than what the USA has hidden away in bunkers and hangers.

Thank you, Sir! Your work is invaluable! I am a retired trial lawyer, and read between the lines; do not be baffled. Political showmanship and long-term policy can appear baffling, but once you see which of the two matters, matters (ha-hem) quickly become clear.

US stockpiles running short? Bullshit!

Go, Ukraine!

Thank you, Georgijs, for your update. It was a terrific week for the ZSU. Simply amazing. 🇺🇦 Перемоги та миру всім українцям! 🇺🇦

The official capacity of the Toropets depot was 30,000 tons. However, Russia had been backloading huge amounts of ammunition there from closer to Ukraine for fear of ATACMS being released. Satellite imagery shows literally many thousands of tons of munitions sitting out in the open, suggesting the bunkers & storage buildings were already full to bursting (pun quite possibly intended...). Note that 30,000 tons is nowhere near a year's production of ammunition by Russia, which is more than 350,000 tons of artillery shells & charges alone. Thing is, Russia's probably lost 20% of its stocks in just over a week.

According to a video Jake Broe sent out long ago, when the US military talks about "low stocks" it means they are below 50%, and it means that they have to order new stuff from the suppliers.

The problem with the comparison with Hiroshima, the 16 KT bomb went off in a moment, whereas the 30 KT bunker facility went off spread over hours.

God bless Ukraine.🙏🏼🇺🇦

Thank you, Georgijs!

Slava Ukraine from NYS USA!

It's good to have you back.

Thank you Georgijs. Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦🙏❤️🇺🇲

The West can end the war in Ukraine by increasing military assistance to Kyiv, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at an event organized by the German Marshall Fund on September 19.

When the Americans say their stockpiles are running low, they mean they can't support a three front war at that time. The USA is no where near running out of ammunition.

Thanks for the update and views 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Oklahoma USA 🇺🇦🇺🇲 Prayers 🙏🙏🙏 Glory to the Warriors

We are still using the V-1 design all these years later!

Your explosive puns are the bomb, Georgie! 💥

I find it most amazing Ruzzia didn't respond to their nuclear explosion on their territory.

I was told once by an ex that the US keeps stockpiles to fight 2 wars at the same time. Anything over that would be going to Ukraine or wherever. I hope we have some factories making more of whatever they are low on.

"There have been many red lines declared by him before, and he has not escalated, meaning also involving NATO allies directly in the conflict..." said Jens Stoltenberg this week. "...He has not done so, because he realises that NATO is the strongest military alliance in the world. They also realise that nuclear weapons, nuclear war, cannot be won and should not be fought. And we have made that very clear to him several times."

Emotional damage!

Thank you Georgijs! Slava Ukraini! 💙💛

Slava Ukraini Georgijs!

❤️Ukraine !!!!! You are second to none . 👊🏻👍🏻👏🏻Thanks for your incredible braveness and never giving up. ❤️ 🇺🇦🇩🇰🇺🇦🇩🇰🇺🇦🇩🇰🇺🇦❤️🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

luv that still pic of the big explosion....looks like 'the angel of death spreads it's wings'..

Russia: Kyiv ins't destroying ammo and fuel depots, our soldiers just keep smoking near those sites. World: That's worse. You do see how that's worse, don't you?

Great video, This Canadian supports Ukraine all the way. Go Ukraine!

Thanks Georgjs. Great report again. Slava Ukraini

Thank you.

If we manage to close Ukraine's skies and slow down Russian advancements on the ground with adequate deliveries of ammo and equipment, Ukraine can use its own resources to work on Russian soil. They have the knowledge and manufacturing capabilities and it seems they're working on it. Pretty successfully, as the latest events show us.

USA has a lot of older stored equipment in their desert depots

Slava Ukraine '

When it comes to conventional artillery the condition of the barrels is critical and they don't last very long when used heavily. The repair of artillery is a serious problem for Russia because of their poor logistics. They can barely feed and equip their military much less return equipment to a distant depot for reconditioning. Firing N. Korean ammo is also detrimental to the equipment too.

SLAVA UKRAINE ❤❤❤

I trust American Generals to act in the best interest of the USA. They will give what ever they think they can because they know Ukraine is carrying the fight. If I'm wrong, shame on them.

Great news! Thank you very much and my best regards from Poland!

Slava Ukraine …. 💙💛💙

Fantastic!! Ukraine's own long range drone/cruise missle development is great to see. It sounds like Ukraine can reach out further with those than even the long range ATACMS. I understand that Russia has moved a lot of their air assets beyond ATACMS's longest range capabilities. They can't hide from you now. Can these new cruise missiles be scaled up? Are they easy to assemble? Maybe Ukraine can get a lot of its citizens building these to quickly increase the stockpile. What has happened to Ukraine's ballistic missle program? Thank you for asking us Americans for our opinion regarding weapons shipments to Ukraine. I don't think the U.S. is copping out on sending these weapons. You need to remember that the U.S. has to be prepared to defend itself, or Taiwan, if China makes a move there. If there is anything we've learned from the war in Ukraine is the continued importance of artillery on the battlefield, and the daily munitions requirements. I think this has been something of a shock to NATO. Ramping up production takes time. Existing stockpiles must be preserved. I will look into your concern about these shipments. I've been trying to find out where the $60B earmarked for Ukraine went. I will dig deeper. As I've noted before, ensuring that Kamala Harris is elected president is of the upmost importance. Any distractions brought by giving Ukraine permission to use long range ATAMCS may endanger her campaign. I can pretty much guarantee support for Ukraine will improve after she is elected. Slava Ukraini!!

WHOA! 😳That's Ukrainian Ingenuity👑for ya'! ✨👍

I would suggest that any military leaks to the press are strategic. I would also suggest that there is an elephant in the room regarding where the jet missiles were launched from! and where they can reach. The implied threat to Russia may cause them to withdraw.

I think the US and UK are helping Ukrain even more but under the table now because of the election, keeping the US and EU outside escalations. I mean do more but dont advertise.

Thank you 💪💪🇺🇦💪💪💙💛

As far as I know, U S. stores may be low on artillery shells, but still surplus in M1 Abrams, F16, Bradleys and ATACMs. Not sure about manpads, HIMARs or javelins

Slava Ukraine ❤

Can Russia even continue the war? this is big

I'm American and I think the US likes to say funny things to shake us all up and surprise us on an occasion.

Thanks Georgie 👍🏼✊🏼

Thank you Georgia's. Greetings from Portugal.

It's a shame that Russia brought all of this onto themselves. Slava Ukraine! 🫡✊🇺🇲🇺🇦

Thank you Georgijs! You're thorough coverage & expert considerations of how things are going are so good. We appreciate your work, Ukraine will win. They know that they must, & have the ingenuity & bravery to do it💙🇺🇦

News flash from kremlin: "Do not be alarmed. Everything is going according to our leader's brilliant plan."

Thx G force 🙏🇺🇦💪👏👍🚀

Zelensky has a secret plan! 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇦

Russian soldiers fight with their Kalashnikovs, shovels and even their bare hands and bodies and they go to the front-line by motorcycles and Chinese golf-carts. Therefore, they don't really need neither Artillery, nor Mortars, MBT's and not even grenades.

Thank you Georgie , for the uplifting update . SLAVA UKRAINI !!! 💙💛💙💛 🤍💙🤍 💙💛🤍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

US stockpile shortage is nonsense

Thanks Georgi. 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦

You end with “I love you”. I send love from Australia.

It will be a domino effect because of those depots going down. Since those were the biggest ones closest to the front line, ammo will have to be stored further away. Complicating logistics. These cruise missiles can more than likely be packed with way more explosives if they dont need to travel as far, putting the Crimean bridge in as big of danger as it has ever been.

maybe UKR should hire top notch PSYCHOLGISTS to help short circuit the hesitant US thinking regarding aid ?

RU!! Get out of Ukraine. Stop th3 aggression.

Hi Georgijs!

Putin the Miscalculator™️

Nice new upload

"All drones were shot down but falling debris hit the target." Russia should start printing this on its money.

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥️ ❤️

Regular earthquakes ❌ Ukrainian-made earthquakes ✅

Another banger!

Thanks for the content. The shortages of ammunition especially in US stockpiles has been a known issue for quite some time now. I'm not surprised at all to hear that there are growing concerns about how much we can provide to Ukraine. Ammunition production generally, and artillery specifically, has been lagging for at least a decade.

Georgi, I love your honest reporting and the passion you show for the critical cause of the Ukrainian war effort. I wish all Ukrainians the best for safety and success. As for the US stockpiles, I do believe, from all the reporting I have seen recently within the US, that the US Military is worried about the amount of munitions on hand, and the rate at which it is shrinking (a very rapid pace indeed). However, it's not only because of the Ukrainian conflict with that evil bastard Putin, it is also taking into account the situation in Israel, Gaza, the Red Sea and, the threat of all threats, China and the very unique threats in the South China Sea. So, I understand that it seems like the US should have limitless resources but even the US has a limit to what can be produced while also funding research and testing of future weapon system for the benefit of the entire free world. It's a big job. LOVE Ukraine!!!

To be extremely simple, Russia ammunition warehouse got nuked by themselves the ammunition.

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ✌️💙💛

Re: US Stockpiles- PA resident here. as I understand it, the administration has slowed the pace of supplies to Ukraine ahead of the election uut of concern that if Trump did win, there may not be any more aid passed in Congress for Ukraine for years. So they're trying to stretch what's left of the current package; It may have to last well into any (God forbid🤞) 2nd Trump administration. Glory to Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Great news !

Thank you for your coverage, insights and rants 🇪🇺🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🇬🇧

Awesomeness! Love it.

The first one looks like an angel. 🌠

I don't have any sourced or ties to the pentagon but wasn't our army supposed to be able to go to war with Russia single handedly? If you say that's true there is your answer about the American equipment/ weapon shortage.

Georgie (sp?), my thoughts on your question about US munitions stockpiles: Between the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, supplying Ukraine as well as Israel and Taiwan, there has been an enormous amount of munitions drawn down. Additionally, the policy shift took the military to counter insurgency warfare from massed armed conflict after the fall of the USSR re-allocated resources away from standard munitions to more specialized weapons. While US arms productions are massive, they are rarely efficient, specifically closing production facilities that take months or years to reopen once the equipment and personal are let go as happened after the fall of the Soviet Union. And of course the US maintains a certain level of strategic ambiguity in terms of the amount of weapons it publicly and secretly provides to other nations as well as the amount of reserves. I am sure the military industrial complex is also doing everything in its significant power to create the appearance of a munitions deficit to justify spending even more money on the military.

love your shirt btw, should be in Magnum P.I

I am an American. About a year ago, I heard General Hodges (I believe) talk about the subject of low stockpiles. His perspective was that the US military has a floor for munitions that they feel comfortable with. That comfort level relates to the ability to fight wars in two theaters of operation simultaneously. When the military gets too close to that minimum level, they start thinking of it as a shortage. If they are not viewing ammunition for Ukraine to fight Russia as being one of those theaters (the other being China) then the US argument is indeed bullshit.

What did Russia said this time ??.......... A soldier was just smoking when it happens !! ^^

Cheers...

Slava Ukraini 💙💛

@UkraineMatters When it comes to US stockpiles a certain level must be maintained for future issues. Just like anything else it takes time to replace weapons when used and the current geopolitical landscape means the US needs to plan for Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Russia. The volume of munitions alone that the US can go through in a single day would boggle the mind, let alone fuel, replacement parts, etc... This is one of the reasons we kept complaining to other NATO members since the stockpiles they kept fell woefully short of where they should have been. Other NATO members are getting better but again it takes time to build the equipment train the troops, and have the logistics you need in place.

Stockpiles of what? Even if the U.S. is running low on some items, we’re not running low on everything. We’ve got plenty of M2s and M-113s that can be sent over, for example.

Couldn't agree more. 👍
