The United States May Have Found Another 5,000 Shells For Ukraine's Biggest Artillery
The United States reportedly is going to great lengths to replenish the dwindling ammunition supply for Ukraine’s biggest artillery.
According to Greek newspaper Ekathimerini, the U.S. government is in talks with the Greek government to buy, for onward transfer to the Ukrainian government, 75,000 artillery rounds.
The $47-million deal would include 50,000 105-millimeter shells, 20,000 155-millimeter shells and 5,000 203-millimeter shells.

The tracked 2S7 is the biggest gun on either side of Russia’s wider war on Ukraine. The Ukrainian army’s 43rd Artillery Brigade, the sole user of the 50-ton 2S7, has plenty of howitzers. What it doesn’t have ... is enough shells.

That's about an eight inch diameter shell. The US used to use those but I believe 155 mm is the largest the US military uses now.

Greece can use the cash right about now.
