Conflitos do Presente / Re: Invasão da Ucrânia
« Última mensagem por Piri em Hoje às 03:35:59 pm »If **U.S. aid were to stop completely or be delayed indefinitely**, Ukraine would likely hit **critical thresholds in its warfighting capacity between July and September 2025**, depending on the category of equipment.
Here’s a breakdown of how quickly Ukraine would feel the impact:
---
## 📅 Estimated Timelines for Critical Shortages (Without U.S. Aid)
| System / Capability | Critical Shortage Expected By | Notes |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Artillery Ammunition (155mm)** | **July–August 2025** | Ukraine currently fires \~6–8k rounds/day. Without resupply, stockpiles could fall below sustainable combat levels by **early August**. |
| **Air Defense Missiles (Patriot, IRIS-T)** | **July 2025** | Already being rationed. Ukrainian commanders say they may **run out of interceptors in <30 days** unless resupplied. |
| **HIMARS / GMLRS Rockets** | **August 2025** | Usage has already declined sharply. GMLRS stocks are hard to replenish without U.S. industrial support. |
| **Drones (ISR & FPV)** | **Late Summer 2025** | Domestic production is strained due to parts shortages. Imports from allies are limited. |
| **Tanks & Armored Vehicles** | **Late 2025**, but already thin | Losses are not being replaced at scale. Combat mobility and assault capability suffer. |
| **Training & Logistics Support** | **Mid to late 2025** | U.S. provides critical satellite intel, training, and spare parts pipelines for complex systems. Loss would degrade command effectiveness. |

## 🔴 "Critical" Means:
* **Airspace vulnerability**: Cities like Kharkiv and Dnipro face missile/drone strikes with little or no interception.
* **Static frontlines**: Ukraine unable to launch meaningful counterattacks.
* **Higher casualties**: Lack of artillery means Russian forces operate with greater impunity.
* **Loss of morale**: Units may become overexposed, underarmed, and demoralized.
---
## 🧠 Expert Warnings
* **ISW (May 2025)**: Ukraine is "within weeks" of losing air-defense coverage for multiple regions if missile resupply doesn’t resume.
* **Time & WSJ**: Summer 2025 is a **“break point”** unless U.S. weapons begin flowing again. Without it, Ukraine risks battlefield collapse in localized areas.
---
## 🚨 In Short
Without U.S. aid, **Ukraine will face combat-crippling shortages as soon as July 2025**, with key systems like air defense and artillery reaching red-line levels **within 60 days**.
Would you like help visualizing this timeline or exploring which U.S. decisions could alter it?
