They have a constitutional ban on supplying weapons to countries at war. This is not a Ukraine thing specifically but a broader thing that was put in place long ago. The current geopolitical climate if forcing the south to re-evaluate their law... Which is good... I guess... A shame it's nessecary.

On the other hand if they make their MIC go bbbbbrrrrr creating 155 shells they have the ability to rotate out their stocks for fresh munitions while helping Ukraine and making bank.

They also have some top tier mine clearing and breaching machines. Their military is actually built for this kind of conflict.. long drawn out artillery slugfest.
