❗🇺🇲🇺🇦 The glacial pace of contracting to support Ukraine continues.
The US Department of Defense has awarded GD-OTS, Global Military Products, and Premier Precision Machining the right to compete for each order of a $212 million 5-year Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to produce 81mm & 60mm mortar shell bodies.
Even across a 5-year period, this is a large contract for metal parts for mortar ammunition. The US Army has budgeted just $8.7 million in FY24 for the procurement of 81mm & 60mm mortar shell bodies. Assuming roughly equivalent buys in future years, this would only be ~$44 million across the life of the contract. Even accounting for potentially larger buys in the future, it's hard to see how the Army will buy $212 million worth of shell bodies for itself in that period.

@Rickbrick75: Europe has way more companies producing mortar ammunition than the US. I don't know why people keep asking me about Europe though when I keep explaining that most European countries do not disclose their military aid or production figures. I post whatever information I can find.

RT @Tatarigami_UA: The situation in the Pokrovsk direction is critical, with defenses in several areas collapsed and yet to stabilize, largely due to a shortage of personnel. Diverting nearly a brigade to launch an assault on Kursk Oblast, which lacks strategic sense, borders on mental disability
