According to the EU plan, Ukraine has to get a million artillery shells, since the presence of sufficient number of them in the Armed Forces is one of the most important issues before the spring counter -offensive of Kiev. Berlin's proposal was received at a meeting of the directors of weapons companies that took place this week. The German edition notes that the ammunition will produce a rheinmetall concern.
His leadership reported that current capacity allows to produce up to 450 thousand artillery shells during the year, with 350 thousand produced in Europe. In the future, RheinMetall expects to significantly expand production capacity - up to 600 thousand a year. EU countries have reached the agreements that the collection of shells should take place in the EU territory, and components can come from third countries.
RheinMetall can provide about 50,000 sleeves produced in Australia and the charges of rocket fuel from steam. On March 4, it became known that the German company Rheinmetall is negotiating with Kiev on the construction of a tank plant in Ukraine. Earlier it was reported that the manufacturer of Leopard tanks prepares a miracle-sought-designer who will bring fire to Kamikadze drones. The journalists were aware of the previous information about the unusual development of the Rheinmetall concern.
