What happens when Israel runs out of ammo?

There is clearly an insufficient supply chain. All and sunder will now start blaming this war and that faction, all well and good. But we (The West) need to be able to, and go ahead to, produce more arms.

“and it is hard to think of a more pro-Israel president than Joe Biden.”

What?

“ and it is hard to think of a more pro-Israel president than Joe Biden”

So journalists are just as moronic as those in the rest of the West. Good to know.

Bullshit!

Israel makes plenty of its own small arms and field ammo.

In fact, it’s a supplier. Makes the best 5.56mm ammo in the world. Used by USA special forces.

The phase of the war that uses heavy stuff, for which there are more complex supply chains, is largely over.

I need to smoke what they’re smoking.

[blackdog]

Israel makes its own ammo just fine.

I recall reading that Israel was sitting on a large quantity of the cluster munitions that became “controversial” in the west some years ago. AFAIK, they haven’t yet used any of that stash. Not ideal for use in Gaza, I suppose.

The money quote that proves we are led by perverted idiots:

As it turns out, the artillery forces of the United States and its allies are almost completely dependent on the output of a single factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

And these idiots think that they can take on China?

If anything is a “cluster”, it’s Hamas.

You mean the guy who calls him an a-hole and sometimes hangs up on him. That guy?

" What happens when Israel runs out of ammo?"

As loaded questions go, this ranks right up there with "When did you stop beating your wife?"

I rather imagine Israel will run out of Islamo-Fascists to kill before they run out of ammunition. After all, they still have their entire nuclear stockpile.

Have no fear. Trump will soon be back where he belongs.

Borrow some from the ukes?

You nuke the bastards.

Such munitions have a shelf life and most of them were produced, at the latest, in the early 1990s. Most are far, far older.

Typical shelf life for a cluster munition is maybe 20-30 years until it stops being even vaguely reliable.

I leave it to the reader to do the math on the amount of time that has elapsed since 1993 to today.
