A new sign that brings winds of war. NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, at a press point with the general manager of the NATO Support and Acquisition Agency, Stacy Cummings, announced that the Atlantic Alliance “has just signed a $1.2 billion contract to buy hundreds of thousands of 155 mm artillery ammunition. This shows that NATO’s joint procurement structures are producing results. Russia’s war in Ukraine has become an ammunition battle. It is important that allies replenish their arsenals as we continue to support Ukraine.”
A direct armed conflict with Russia is increasingly fearful and NATO must not be caught unprepared: “Since the adoption of NATO’s defense action plan last July, the NATO Support and Acquisition Agency has contracts stipulated to – recalls Stoltenberg – a total value of 10 billion euros. dollars. Of this total, around US$4 billion for tank ammunition, guided missiles and 155 projectiles. And $5.5 billion for Patriot missiles.” The arms race is in full swing.
