    I think it’s particularly interesting because ammo companies prioritize military contracts first before civilian markets, but prices for ammo for civilians are pretty stable despite being this close to November in an election year and doing everything for Ukraine lol. It seems like they’re just chilling.

      The ammo Ukraine is desperately low on is for artillery (and apparently the artillery guns themselves). I don't think they're low on small arms ammo.

      Also, as an aside, the American in the article is an instructor for the 3rd separate assault brigade AKA Azov lmao. Fighting in a fascist brigade for muh frEeDoMs and dEmOcRacY!!

      They probably don't want hogs another reason to get mad at something else being expensive.

        No ammunition is already expensive it’s been expensive since 2020. It just hasn’t gotten MORE expensive.

        Nah it’s been expensive since 2020 and people keep buying it because they fantasize about being an individualistic warlord in the apocalypse so they refuse to band together to boycott or strike and instead keep buying at gouged prices
