Estonia has the ability to purchase a million shells and missiles for the Ukrainian army worth about 2-3 billion euros, if the allies provide funds.

Estonia can purchase a million shells and missiles for the Ukrainian army worth about 2-3 billion euros if the allies provide funds for them. This was announced by Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur, Postimees reports, according to UNN.

Details

It is noted that the head of the Estonian defense ministry did not specify what kind of shells were being purchased, but, according to the publication, it is a million shells for the Grad MLRS.

According to Pevkur, there are four main areas of assistance to Ukraine: ammunition, air defense, armored vehicles, and electronic warfare.

As far as ammunition is concerned, funding is now a bigger concern than the availability of shells. It has been said that there is a lack of ammunition, and the Czech initiative to buy 800,000 shells shows that there is indeed ammunition. Estonia also has a wide range of countries where we could buy shells for Ukraine,

- the Minister noted.

He added that the country has the ability to quickly purchase a large amount of ammunition, mostly from non-European countries, for Ukraine and deliver it in two months. At the same time, the Estonian minister did not name any specific sellers of ammunition.

As the orders include both 155 mm and 152 mm caliber shells, Russia is also actively seeking suppliers globally via Belarus. There is a definite race against time to see who can procure them first,

- Pevkur said.

Recall

The Czech Republic achieved the possibility to purchase additional 200,000 units of artillery ammunition for Ukraine from third countries.
