Russians Lack Ammunition
Reports from military experts state that Russian reverses are largely due to ammunition shortages. Before Archangel harbor opened, supplies could not reach shores, and Russian factories were limited. Japanese supply and Far East tensions reduced munition traffic, leaving troops poorly armed. Once Archangel opens longer, Russia’s supply problem may be resolved.
