"BRUSSELS — Add NATO’s military planners to the list of those concerned about having enough shells.
In the coming months, the alliance will accelerate efforts to stockpile equipment along the alliance’s eastern edge and designate tens of thousands of forces that can rush to allies’ aid on short notice — a move meant to stop Russia from expanding its war beyond Ukraine.
To make that happen, though, NATO must convince individual countries to contribute various elements: Soldiers, training, better infrastructure — and, most notably, extensive amounts of pricey weapons, equipment and ammunition. "
Once NATO’s military plans are done, capitals will be asked to weigh in — and eventually make available troops, planes, ships and tanks for different parts of the blueprints.
A test for NATO will come this summer when leaders of the alliance’s 30 member countries meet in Lithuania.
“We are asking the nations — based on the findings we have out of our three regional plans — what we need to make these plans … executable,” said the senior NATO military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive planning.
“I think the most difficult thing,” the official added, “is the procurement.”

Wow, these careless smoking accidents are getting worse
If they haven't lost a jet doing this already, I can see some Russian pilot dying in an attempt to nudge a drone.
And, I assume some crafty Ukrainian is hard at work mounting a shrapnel charge on a drone. Lure in a MiG, let them do the maneuver where they try and spray fuel on the drone, then blow the charge.
Not being dismissive at all, but how big of a threat is Russia to any NATO nation right now? They have struggled for a month to take Bakhmut. They have gutted units from one end of Russia to the other. They have faced innumerable logistics and supply issues. Who thinks they could mount a credible assault on a NATO nation? I suppose the Baltics are most at risk, but the Poles would f*** the Russians up. And, NATO has overwhelming air superiority that would be immediately be deployed.
Truth. Ya gotta get the feeling that Poland wants a chance to stomp some orc ass and as you say, NATO could overwhelm all but the nuclear orc airborne/naval assets quickly.
The Balkan trifecta as well as the Scandinavians would bring some deep seated resentment to the fray as well.
To me, the biggest question would be Turkiye.
They have been trying for take Bakhnut for almost a year.
The approach to Bakhmut will grow healthy sunflowers for years to come.
What a disgusting sacrifice forced upon the orc citizenry by pootie and his chef.

I admire the passion, but he and his family are now on their way to a re-education camp
I've always thought this to be the case.
That would be fantastic and the beginning of the end if they can secure the left bank.
That is a dawg that the orcs, in their weakened state, don’t want to face.
The Poles would be much like the Ukrainians… motivated, but with better weaponry.
I think this is the move many of us internet generals have been expecting. The newly trained units of Ukraine have hopefully been rotating in, and are ready to slash down to the Sea of Azov to cut the Russian forces in two pieces, and possibly force Russia to pull all remaining forces in the southern area back into the Crimean peninsula .
… where they will be susceptible to starvation once the Kerch bridge is once again cut and Mr. HIMAARS moves over into Crimean range.
This will put the orc naval bases into range, shutting off resupply for the missile cruisers and nullify the Black Sea fleet safe harbor.
It’s nice to know government is government everywhere.
This is why sanctions need to be broad. Russia is using maritime rescue beacons as targeting devices.
"Ka-52 "Alligator" successfully intercepted an anti-aircraft missile, location and date unknown"
Just exactly "where else" are you gonna need them in the next 2 years?
Russia ain't exactly dealing with an ammo-glut right now. Go all-in and Russia is completely decimated; they will have nothing left and no way to re-arm.
NATO can re-arm.
None
Unless they wanna drop nukes. They cannot even support troops with enough armaments & ammo to take fricking Bakhmut.
Bakhmut, AKA the kill zone, has neutered the orc offensive, albeit at a huge cost to Ukraine.
Which will have nothing to do with NATO....UNLESS Russia sends missiles into Poland.
Then they're right-f****d.
Poland can act alone w/o NATO, and Article 5 only gets enforced if Russia tries to attack Poland's sovereign lands.
Let's hit that bitch.
Attach a JDAM to a "weather balloon" and launch it from Ukraine or the Black Sea until it floats over the target.
Ivan won't have any chance at defending that, and they'll probably never even see it coming.
I may be off on the timing but an attack on the bridge could signal the coming offensive. Or maybe they would like Russia to rush more equipment into Crimea first so they can destroy and capture even more
I'd bet this gives DeSantis a little boner.
Reaction to Russia knocking down drone. We have to react to that. NATO moves enough troops right to border of Russia/Belarus to pose serious threat of invasion and force Russia to pull troops away from Ukraine front.
This move - Poland entering conflict while NATO guards its borders and airspace has made sense since day one. Polish troops could at the very least secure the Ukrainian/Belarus border as "peacekeepers" to free up Ukrainian troops while also bringing its own additional anti-air weapons to actively cover western Ukraine.
France/NATO should put troops and active anti-air units in Moldova, and even Georgia if they get rid of their pro-Russian oligarch leader.
That ugster has a face that is easy to hate. When you hear what he stood for, the hate is easy.
Amazing if true. I saw that Yahoo and Newsweek also reported this.
The average life expectancy for a soldier fighting on the front lines in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut is just four hours, according to an American who is fighting against Russian forces in the Donbas.
Former US Marine Troy Offenbecker detailed the intense fighting, some of the deadliest since Russia launched its invasion a year ago, in an interview with ABC News.
