The State Concern reports that ammunition is produced in one of NATO countries, but Ukrainian specialists work at the enterprise. The State Concern Ukroboronprom reported on the establishment of production abroad of tank ammunition for Ukrainian tanks. This was announced on March 14 by the press service of the State Concern. The first ammunition batch at the request of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has already been transferred to the Armed Forces, according to Ukroboronprom.
