(RT) – There is “not much left” in Italy’s military stockpiles after six aid shipments to Ukraine, the Corriere Della Sera newspaper reported on Friday. With Italian industry dismantled and resupply from the US uncertain, the country reportedly has enough ammunition left for two days of fighting.
Citing a source in the Defense Ministry, the newspaper stated that the Italian military is currently lacking heavy and light artillery ammunition, leaving it in “serious difficulty.”

“On the shelves,” the source said, “there is not much left.” According to other military officers cited in the report, if Italy were attacked today, it would have enough ammunition to resist for “between 48 and 72 hours.”
