Pakistan's ammunition shortage raises alarming questions about military readiness

Pakistan's military preparedness has come under intense scrutiny following revelations of a severe shortage in artillery ammunition, a consequence of extensive arms deals with Ukraine and Israel. While these international sales provided much-needed financial inflows, they have gravely weakened Pakistan’s defence capabilities, raising alarms over its ability to sustain prolonged conflict. Analysts estimate that Pakistan’s forces could maintain high-intensity combat operations for no more than four days, leaving vital weapon systems vulnerable to destruction by any impending hostile action.
