US forced to import bullets from Israel as troops use 250,000 for every
rebel killed
By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
Published: 25 September 2005
US forces have fired so many bullets in Iraq and Afghanistan - an
estimated 250,000 for every insurgent killed - that American
ammunition-makers cannot keep up with demand. As a result the US is
having to import supplies from Israel.
A government report says that US forces are now using 1.8 billion rounds
of small-arms ammunition a year. The total has more than doubled in five
years, largely as a result of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well
as changes in military doctrine.
