‘The main challenge for the Ukrainian Armed Forces lies in the lack of artillery and air defense assets’, – Charles Brown, head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee said

The main challenge for the Armed Forces of Ukraine lies in the lack of artillery and air defense assets.

This was stated by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, Charles Brown.

During a meeting with a group of military journalists in Washington, he was asked about the worst-case scenario for Ukraine due to the cessation of US arms supplies. Brown did not provide a direct answer, but he mentioned two main problems for Ukraine: the shortage of ammunition and air defense missiles.

“However, the challenge, since artillery is extensively used, will lie in this. And then I would also say: air defense. Because that’s also a key capability. That’s important too,” Brown said.
