Production of 155mm artillery shells within the framework of cooperation between the companies will reportedly begin next year.
According to the agreement, CSG will provide the Ukrainian manufacturer with the necessary know-how and assistance to start producing 155mm artillery shells directly in Ukraine.
In 2025, 100,000 units of ammunition will be produced as part of the cooperation between CSG and Ukrainian Armor, and in 2026 the annual production volume will exceed 300,000 units.
The production of ammunition will take place in the Czech Republic and Ukraine in order to increase and accelerate production for the Ukrainian army and reduce the price of artillery shells. The production will cover several types of large-caliber ammunition.
