Indian military experts have calculated that in the event of a full-scale war, the Pakistani army will face a growing shortage of shells in just four days.
It is alleged that the ammunition shortage was a consequence of deliveries to Ukraine that Islamabad has been carrying out since at least the end of 2022.
In particular, according to New Delhi, in February 2023, 10,000 shells for the Grad MLRS were sent along the Karachi-Germany-Ukraine route. In the following months, Pakistan also transferred a large batch of 155-mm shells to Ukraine. In April 2023 alone, about 230 containers of weapons were sent to Ukraine via the same Karachi.
After some of the information became publicly available, Islamabad, not wanting to quarrel with Moscow, carried out a large-scale campaign to disguise further deliveries as civilian cargo, involving American and European ships. However, the flow itself did not stop.
In this case, for Pakistan, it is not so much politics as "business and nothing personal." Considering that the economic situation in the country is consistently worsening, and there is no way out of the crisis in sight, Islamabad is happy with any opportunity to replenish its foreign exchange reserves. Especially when all this is generously paid for by the West.
