The head of the department, German Smetanin, said that “the amount of explosives that Ukraine receives, the amount of ammunition that we will get.”
Ukraine could ramp up production of ammunition for artillery and mortars, but a global shortage of explosives makes things difficult. This was said by the Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine German Smetanin in an interview with Reuters.
Ukraine increased the production of mines for mortars from zero to millions per year. In addition, the production of artillery shells also increased. However, this is still not enough.
“The main problem… is gunpowder and explosives how many explosives are coming to Ukraine, we have so many shells,” the official explained.
The official recalled that Ukraine had begun to produce 155-mm shells suitable for NATO artillery. However, he declined to specify the numbers.
Smetanin also mentioned plans to establish mass production of Ukrainian missiles. Although in this regard, Ukraine faces global obstacles in the supply chain.
As you know, representatives of Ukraine and India held a working meeting on Saturday, October 26, where opportunities for cooperation in the defense industry were discussed.
