Ukraine has the opportunity to increase the production of artillery shells and mines, but it is constrained by the global shortage of explosives.
In an interview with Reuters, Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine Herman Smetanin said this.
According to Smetanin, Ukraine was able to increase the production of mines for mortars from zero to millions per year, and the production of artillery shells also increased. However, this is still not enough.
“The main problem we are facing now is gunpowder and explosives. As much explosives will arrive in Ukraine, we will be able to produce as many shells,” he emphasized.
The minister also emphasized that Ukraine has started production of 155-mm projectiles that meet NATO standards, but refused to name specific numbers.
Smetanin mentioned plans to establish serial production of Ukrainian missiles, but here too Ukraine faces global problems in the supply chain.
Earlier we wrote that the USA will provide Ukraine with weapons in the amount of 425 million dollars as part of a new military aid package.
We will also remind you that on October 30, Lithuania handed Ukraine a new batch of military aid, which included shells, mortars and generators.
