It is about potential cooperation on the restoration and maintenance of American-made armored vehicles, the company explained.

"Earlier, representatives of Amentum Services, Inc. visited UOP enterprises, assessed their existing capabilities, technical base and potential.

As a reminder, the Czech company Czechoslovak Group (CSG), which is one of the largest arms manufacturers in Europe, wants to help Ukraine increase its own production of heavy ammunition. It is noted that the company wants to produce artillery and tank shells, as well as heavy equipment in Ukraine.

By the way, Ukraine's defense companies are seeking to start their own production of 155-mm artillery shells. However, this will begin no earlier than the second half of this year, The Washington Post reports.
