The US military has sent a trove of confiscated Iranian ammunition to war-torn Ukraine, it announced Tuesday, as fears grow that direct aid from Washington to Kyiv will soon run out.
On Monday, the US dispatched more than 1.1 million rounds of 7.62mm rifle ammo to the Ukrainian armed forces.
“The US is committed to working with our allies and partners to counter the flow of Iranian lethal aid in the region by all lawful means including US and UN sanctions and through interdictions,” US Central Command said in a statement.
The materiel was seized in December 2022 en route to Houthi rebels in Yemen, in violation of international sanctions, per the release.

Excellent!
7.62x39
I’d take a few tins, as long as they’re handing it out.

There is no ammo left here in the USA so we have to give them Iranian rounds seized on the high seas.
scraping the bottom of the barrel, yet still telling them to charge!
They should have brought that to the US and sold it to Americans to pay down the debt.
I don’t own a lead dispenser in that particular caliber.
“ There is no ammo left here in the USA so we have to give them Iranian rounds seized on the high seas.”
It’s not like American ammunition companies are churning out pallet loads of 7.62 or 5.45 ammunition.

Next up, sharpened combs and toothbrushes...
What about the stash when Grenada was invaded? We should have warehouses full of the captured stuff waiting for a new home. I’ll manage it. just let me shoot off a few rounds from time to time.
If only we had the abandoned Afghan munitions.
next they’ll be sending them clothing from the bodies from the Lybian floods.
Afghanistan probably sent a bunch of stuff we left there to Russia.
1.1 million means TEN rounds for each of 100,000 soldiers. Not impressive.
Since the hohos are likely to be charging into those Russian mine fields and tanks with just (as Santino Corleone put it in Godfather I) their ****s in their hands, the pig-boy (Biden) might want to try sending them a shipload of Viagra or some such. At least the Russians wouldn’t laugh quite so hard...
Does that mean Biden has depleted US ammo?
Preparations to collect for the next shipment are beginning.
What size do you have?
Gimme a pallet load and I’m good.
