Each module costs one million dollars. Currently, the military is waiting for spare parts to be delivered from the rear.
Australian company SPEE3D has sent seven WarpSPEE3D metal 3D printers to Ukraine for rapid production of critical spare parts for various military equipment. This was reported by The Defense Post.
It was noted that the printers were provided as part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative by the US Department of Defense. Each module costs one million dollars.
“We are committed to providing the Ukrainian military with the resources to enhance their maintenance and repair capabilities when and where it matters most,” said SPEE3D Vice President of Defense Chris Harris.
Currently, the military is waiting for spare parts to be delivered from the rear. The installations will be used to manufacture spare parts for equipment such as armored personnel carriers and guns. Some were made 40 years ago and are no longer in production.
Printers are used by the military to produce various items needed at the front, such as protective equipment (body armor, helmets, and shields); medical products (burden, surgical instruments); weapons and ammunition (grenade launchers, mines and shells); other products (repair parts for equipment and tools).
Let’s recall that Australia transferred Slinger complexes to Ukraine, capable of shooting down Shahed 136/131 kamikaze drones and helicopters.
It was previously reported that Australia will strengthen the Ukrainian Armed Forces with Bushmaster armored vehicles.
