However, there was a need to conserve ammunition, leading to the use of shells from the Korean War with almost expired validity. Fluctuating ammunition supplies posed logistical and operational headaches, significantly increasing the rate of misfired rounds and aiming errors.<\/p>\n<p>The ammunition problem was particularly acute in the artillery, where it is believed that the cannons purchased from the U.S. Army in the 1970s had reached the maximum limit of their mechanical efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Former Captain Raz Hemlish, former commander of Battalion 411, wrote in the military magazine Ma\u2019arachot in 2021: &#8220;The cannons purchased from the U.S. Army in the 1970s have reached the end of their mechanical efficiency, and they are expected to reach the final depreciation stage in the next decade.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Haaretz spoke to a reserve soldier stationed at a battery in the north who requested anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>The soldier said, &#8220;The situation was chaotic at the beginning of the war&#8230; There was a crazy shortage of equipment, and the tools were operating at half their capacity. So, half of them worked, and half didn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>American Armament<\/h3>\n<p>In 2023, the United States began transferring hundreds of thousands of these shells from emergency stores in Israel to Australia.<\/p>\n<p>However, Washington changed the trajectory of the shells again after the war on Gaza and the confrontations on the border with Lebanon, beginning to send massive quantities of weapons to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The 155mm shells formed a significant part of the military aid received from the United States at an unprecedented rate, by air and sea.<\/p>\n<p>Soldiers were told that the problems partly stemmed from the desire to conserve ammunition in anticipation of worsening conflict in the north.<\/p>\n<p>A reserve officer stationed in the south told the Hebrew newspaper, &#8220;Our share of ammunition was zero&#8230; to the extent that we would say, &#8216;We have nothing,&#8217; sometimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The management of existing weapons led to the accumulation of ammunition from all over, creating rampant chaos.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8165\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8165\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8165 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-United-States-began-transferring-hundreds-of-thousands-of-these-shells-from-emergency-stores-in-Israel-to-Australia.jpg\" alt=\"Shells raining down caused chaos and increased error rates\" width=\"768\" height=\"904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-United-States-began-transferring-hundreds-of-thousands-of-these-shells-from-emergency-stores-in-Israel-to-Australia.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-United-States-began-transferring-hundreds-of-thousands-of-these-shells-from-emergency-stores-in-Israel-to-Australia-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-United-States-began-transferring-hundreds-of-thousands-of-these-shells-from-emergency-stores-in-Israel-to-Australia-150x177.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-United-States-began-transferring-hundreds-of-thousands-of-these-shells-from-emergency-stores-in-Israel-to-Australia-450x530.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8165\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">the United States began transferring hundreds of thousands of these shells from emergency stores in Israel to Australia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Shipments arrived at varying rates, sometimes daily and other times once a week.<\/p>\n<p>Reserve soldiers, even veterans of the Second Lebanon War, reported never encountering this phenomenon before.<\/p>\n<p>The shortage of ammunition made the forces adapt as best they could, causing &#8220;massive chaos&#8221;.
