The publication notes that during a visit to the enterprise in the city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Zelensky will meet and thank the workers who have increased the production of 155-mm shells over the past year.
AR adds that the Scranton plant is one of the few plants in the country that manufactures 155 mm artillery shells. They are used in howitzer systems, which are big guns with long barrels that can fire at different angles. Howitzers can engage targets 15 to 20 miles (24 to 32 kilometers) away and are highly valued by ground forces for defeating enemy targets from a protected distance.
Ukraine has already received more than 3 million 155 mm shells from the USA.
