The heavy casualties and massive ammunition consumption seen during the war in Ukraine has top NATO commanders worried. | BISouthAfrica

Losses in Ukraine 'out of proportion' to what NATO has been planning for, the alliance's top general saysA Ukrainian artillery unit fires toward Russian positions on the outskirts of Bakhmut on December 30, 2022. Leaders have been worried by the heavy casualties and massive ammunition usage in Ukraine.

"The scale of this war is out of proportion with all of our recent thinking," said Cavoli, who is also head of US European Command."But it is real and we must contend with it." "Production capacity remains vital, absolutely vital," Cavoli said."A healthy and elastic defense industrial base is just as important" as the number of troops.

For Russia's smaller neighbors that lack strategic depth — such as the Baltic States — that's an admission that NATO may not have time to come to their rescue should Russia invade.
