If British forces were at war with Russia they would run out of ammunition in “two weeks”, according to the Chair of the Defence Committee.
Talking to Forces News, Tobias Ellwood MP said that the UK has gifted so much equipment to Ukraine that it would have a “shortfall” of its own if it was to tackle Russia itself.
“The amount of ammunition that Ukraine is expending, if we went to war, we’d run out in two weeks,” Mr Ellwood said.

If it’s rifle rounds I wouldn’t worry America has more than enough production to help. Hell our civilian population have more guns then US military and plenty of rounds to go with them.
😂What makes you think a war with Russia would last 2 weeks? We can't even protect our borders against the invasion of illegal immigrants, never mind the Russian army.
Don't really have to worry about ammunitions running out with a war with Russia when you have nuclear missiles raining down on top of you.
what! are there no Arms and ammo factory in UK? or is it an irony
UK is under control of parasitic reptilian like humanoids, i wouldnt worry about russia, i would worry why do so many british kids go missing every year.
Well i guess this problem is solved in a few more month of fighting in the Ukraine. THen all the remaining old sowjet ammunition will be gone. Thats the good side of the war. Disarming Russia.
That’s because the UK totally relies on the US, as does the rest of NATO.
I have to say that China is not a threat to Europe nor anyone but Taiwan. So saying that they are a huge problem is mere propaganda. I cannot believe that the fact that China is getting richer and stronger, peacefully is a threat to Europe. They are the only ones who can challenge this pathetic woke imperialist world order.
we should simply boost our military budget to 3.5% of our budget or so
We will keep sleep walking to disaster 😴
RUSIA. VS. Half of the world,, and Rusia is winning,, EUROPE is already out of GAS,, and NOW out of Ammo!! Imagen if China gets involve against NATO AND USA?? They are gonna be eunning out of food to, and Rusia and China just HAPPY
Agree
Hitler saw Britain as weak back in 1940s and now Putin sees the same. The UK will never realise it until its too late
Should this really be public knowledge?
It is UNIMAGINABLE, the incompetency of the state managers of the UK that it is on the table to come into direct conflict with Russia or any other country. It is such an INCREDIBLY DEEP lack of any sense or willingness to stand up against defunct and otherwise ineffective policies within not just foreign policy but also within domestic and social policy that this situation is being allowed to erode into another cold war type circumstance. WHO CARES about how much ammo we have when there is ample power within the UK's international political economy to sway this situation into at the VERY LEAST a less agitated and more viably a diplomatically resolved situation – NUCLEAR WARHEADS ARE ON THE TABLE; NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR RIFLES WHEN THE WARHEADS SET OFF – Our foreign policy state managers are cocaine snorting venomous fiends who consist of as much moral integrity as Stalin himself. What a shame for us all that the political economy of our nation (which could easily be number 1-3 in most measures of well ran statehood internationally speaking) is being used to expound a neo-gregarious, immature and narcissistic mix of grandstanding, big man syndrome and Chamberlainist cowardice on the world stage. Shame on your State Managers of Britain.
This is a stupid argument. The chance of Britain alone having to go to war with ANY country is next to Zero unless it's Argentina in the Falklands again. If anyone attacks Britain, all of NATO steps in especially the US with its 800 Billion dollar defense budget! And right now, China has a huge Economic headache that I don't think it's going to think of any war unless it is against Taiwan.
Mutual Assured Destruction.
😳 love how we tell them thru YouTube that we haven’t got enough amo to fight them 🤣 the logic is over my head
Ducking hell we not using lasers yet
I bet Russia is running out of ammo. Time to invade Russia
The British Empire is no longer what it once was. No more grand fleet.
48 x F35-B are not enough even to ensure ONE carrier can host a minimum credible strike airwing, let alone the c60 platforms (all types) incl up to 48 fast jets that each ship is capable of operating as a max strike airwing.
Proof we were never intending to attack Russia
Crack on uk. Get more bullets aside we may need em
what rubbish UK has ammunition to last years
While corrupt billionaire, Zelenskiy, grow$ richer by the day 🙄
the ammo manufacture in uk which i think is owned by BAE at present are only running at half capacity so running low on ammunition (Bullets) is not the thing i think the UK will run out of. missiles and drones. and bombs i think would be more of a worry
Its a bit obvious huh give a non nato country money and ammo while we starve can’t pay bills and now couldn’t protect our selfs😂 the worlds biggest hoax is that Britain is great
Guess we better make every bullet count then!
Your dismissing the word Nato.. the world can look at how you are putting it but the UK has the capability that you could never understand. Our war strategies are dark and evil and scientifically undefeatable.
I think it’s pretty obvious we’re not giving enough to foran aid 😂
Now foraners can send us some bullets
I think this is another excuse to make more ammo why are we running out of munition but they're using AK-47 we no use AK-47 guys will you send 16s and 14s in area old all those models it's a difference that's around so how in the Americans running out of rounds or ammunition doesn't make any sense to you guys it feels like the government ask for more money for something more dirty of their own work behind her back and they going to pocket the s*** how are you guys running out of ammo that you cranks are using AK-47 we use M16 doesn't make any sense and even this report is not making any sense it's like mumbling and struggling to say the report that is when they get caught up guys wake up
Wow UK great job wasting ammo on Russia. Now the UK is weak and Russia has loads of ammo and tanks. I am going to leave the UK on March 2023 because it's getting near that the UK will be poor soon
Brexit my good man. Brexit. No money.
War is just pointless. It is wasting everyone's time. We should all should just work together. Everything is pointless. Our life is pointless. If Russia people look at this then please think if war matters.
Our government are traitors.
