Pakistani-supplied ammunition to Ukraine is creating worry owing to quality and dependability difficulties. Pakistani artillery shells have damaged M-777 Ultra-Light Weight Artillery Guns in Ukraine. According to reports, the damage was caused by barrel explosions caused by the employment of low-quality artillery munitions.

Furthermore, these accounts have uploaded videos of Ukrainian Army men seeking shelter when 122 mm high explosive Yarmuk rockets provided by Pakistan's state-owned Ordinance Factory refused to ignite and instead spewed smoke. This circumstance frightened Ukrainian servicemen stationed near the BM-21 Grad launchers.
 
It's worth mentioning that this isn't the first time the Ukrainian Army has had problems with Pakistani-supplied ammo. Similar instances have been recorded on several occasions in the past. The Yarmuk rockets, in particular, have been chastised for their poor quality and dependability.
 
The Yarmuk rockets are based on Chinese 122 mm rockets that were influenced by Russian 122 mm rockets. While reverse engineering is prevalent in the defense business, it frequently raises questions about the quality and efficacy of the copied ordnance.
 
These changes emphasize the critical necessity of assuring the quality and dependability of military equipment and ammunition provided to armed forces across the world.
 
In the context of the Ukrainian war, where military capabilities are critical, the dependability of artillery rounds and rockets is critical for the Ukrainian Army's safety and effectiveness.

As the situation evolves, it is critical that both Ukrainian and Pakistani authorities address any concerns about the quality and performance of delivered ammunition. Ensuring the dependability of military equipment is a critical component of assisting armed forces in war zones in maintaining operational preparedness.
