Canada is slow to invest in ammunition production – media

The Canadian government has yet to reach agreements with arms companies to increase production of 155mm rounds.

The Canadian government does not increase the production of artillery ammunition, despite pressure from its allies, because it does not see an economic prospect in it. CBC News reported this on Tuesday, February 20, citing its own sources.

“The Government of Canada has not reached an agreement with its arms companies to increase production of 155 mm ammunition,” the report said.

It was noted that in the fall of 2022, two large Canadian ammunition manufacturers submitted a proposal to the government to significantly increase the production of artillery shells, but it is “still under consideration.”

“Nearly a year and a half later, with Canadian stockpiles at dangerously low levels, a major deal to increase their production in this country has still not been finalized. The Canadian government’s reluctance is partly due to the increase in production of standard NATO 155 mm ammunition, where both Ukraine and Canada need it and require the federal government to invest $400 million in factories that produce them,” the material notes.

Sources say the Canadian government doubts the investment can pay for itself due to insufficient long-term global demand for artillery ammunition.

Canada will transfer more than 800 multi-purpose SkyRanger R70 drones to Ukraine, Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair said.
