Another 1.2 million artillery shells for Ukraine?

At the latest UDCG meeting, Estonia informed the coalition that they have identified €2 billion-€3 billion worth of artillery ammunition available on the global market *in addition* to the ammo sourced by Czechia.

Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur tells newspaper Postimees that deliveries could begin in 2 months if funding is secured. The available ammunition includes 122mm Grad rockets, and 122mm, 152mm & 155mm shells. How many shells this would translate to depends on the price. Postimees put the average global unit price at €2500, which is reasonable given the Czech estimate of €3 billion being required for 1.5 million shells, for a unit price of €2000. The Estonian initiative could therefore source between 800,000 and 1,200,000 shells. With the Czech initiative still not fully funded though, according to public information, it is imperative that the European Peace Facility's Ukraine Assistance Fund be tapped to finance these procurements. Ukraine can't wait for this ammunition.
