Ukraine will start producing ammunition in accordance with NATO standards from 2019

Ukraine in the second half of 2019 will start producing ammunition according to NATO standards, said the deputy head of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine Yuri Brovchenko in an interview with the online edition Delo.ua

Earlier, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that the authorities intend to allocate about 54 million dollars for the construction of a plant for the production of ammunition according to NATO standards. Today, Ukraine almost does not produce its ammunition, using stocks of Soviet times.

Ukraine will start producing ammunition in accordance with NATO standards from 2019


According to Brovchenko, today, as part of the program to launch the production of ammunition in Ukraine, the Ministry of Economy has carried out the procurement process of a line for the production of shells and sleeves in caliber 100-155 millimeters.

We are planning a transition to the main caliber used by NATO countries - 155 millimeters. All equipment that is purchased and will be supplied under this program will be adapted to NATO standards.
- said the deputy minister.

He said that most likely the production line will be located in the state joint-stock holding company "Artem", which is engaged in the production aviation missiles and is based in Kiev. Brovchenko said that this enterprise has already allocated 1,4 billion hryvnia ($ 52 million) for the purchase and creation of production of ammunition at the funds of the Ministry of Defense. He added that, in addition, the funds of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine are planned to produce cartridges of caliber from 5,45 mm to 14,5 mm.

According to Brovchenko, Ukraine can start production of its own ammunition in the second half of 2019.

Earlier, Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak said that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a state program for the production of ammunition. It was also reported that in Ukraine may appear its own cartridge plant.

        The actions of these leaders are reminiscent of the actions of either children or madmen, whose goal is to destroy everything to the core, what is connected with the USSR and Russia.
        The country's industry is already a bunch of scrap metal.
        Apparently, in a "revolutionary frenzy" they are not up to the calculations of how much they have ditched, and how much time and energy it will take to get out of that cesspool into which they drove themselves.

        The state-owned enterprise Nikolaev Shipbuilding Plant, part of the Ukroboronprom concern, has stopped working, the press service of the concern reports.

        The official reason for the suspension of work in the concern was the absence of a decision of the Ukrainian government on the missile cruiser of project 1164. The company for three years at its own expense tried to keep the unfinished cruiser.

        “Today, the accounts of the enterprise have been arrested, and wage arrears amount to more than 58 million hryvnias. These debts have accumulated due to the termination of the reimbursement of expenses of the enterprise for maintaining the cruiser in February 2015,” it was informed.

        The termination of the maintenance of the cruiser will lead to the destruction of its energy components, equipment elements, environmental pollution of the waters of the Bug and Ingul rivers, according to Ukroboronprom.

        But once it was a normal shipyard.
        The oneta cartridges were about to rivet. Oh well. With them, perhaps "get rich" can. fool

          This, comrades, is probably the only cruiser in the world who, without raising a flag, has ruined the economy of the plant, and as a result destroyed it. Not every cruiser with their shooting was able to destroy the plant.

          Are you so naive or is it sarcasm? US manufacturers will never allow their competitor to grow in Ukraine. On the contrary, moving to NATO standards, the United States will earn a pretty penny on the supply of cartridges and carbines to Ukraine. No cartridge plant will be built in Ukraine - these are all fairy tales for pots. Going under NATO standards, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the mining industry are firmly bogged down in dependence on the supply of arms and ammunition from the United States.

And here is already a serious bummer, you need to invest so much in such a production .... Or just buy ready-made. Consequently, a complete transition to the NATO standards of all the armed forces will result in serious money. And most importantly, why?

    And rightly Great Pig Breeders! To run out of ammo, so completely! And there’s nowhere to take it, anyway you won’t be able to produce enough, and then the powder will be raw, then the capsule will be rusty ... The next step is to urgently change the gauge of the railway track to European so that ours do not pass! Damn, on this occasion, the bike was remembered:
    On the sides of the Kennedy spacecraft are two engines on
    5 feet wide. Ship designers would like to make these engines
    even wider, but could not. Why?
    The fact is that these engines were delivered by rail, which
    passes through a narrow tunnel. The distance between the rails is standard:
    4 feet 8.5 inches, so designers could only make engines
    5 feet wide.
    The question arises: why is the distance between the rails 4 feet 8.5 inches?
    Where did this figure come from?
    It turns out that the railways in the States were doing the same as in
    England, and in England they made railway cars on the same principle,
    both tram and the first trams were produced in England in the image and
    likeness of Konka. And the length of the axle axis was just 4 feet 8.5 inches!
    But why?
    Because the horses made with the expectation that their axis fell into the ruts on
    English roads, so that the wheels wear out less, and the distance between
    the ruts in England are just 4 feet 8.5 inches! Why so?
    Yes, just the roads in the UK began to make the Romans, bringing them under
    the size of their war chariots, and the axis length of a standard Roman chariot
    equaled ... right, 4 feet 8.5 inches! Well now we got to the bottom
    where did this size come from, but still why did the Romans decide to do
    their chariots with axles of exactly this length? And here's why: in such a
    the chariot was usually harnessed by two horses. And 4 feet 8.5 inches - that was
    just the size of two horse asses! To make the axis of the chariot longer was
    uncomfortable, as this would upset the chariot.
    Therefore, here is the answer to the very first question: even now, when
    man went into space, his highest technical achievements directly
    Depend on HORSE SIZE TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD
    And we have 18 cm wider. Why ??? Yes, because the Tsar was asked when they were going to build a railway:
    - Will we put the rails as in abroad, or wider?
    - on ... (member) wider? - answered the king
    So they built a track wider by 18 cm ...

    You can go to any standards, but the production of ammunition is the smallest step and not the most expensive. Next is the reorganization of all regulatory and technical documentation for the production of weapons. Then the replacement of technology and finally the introduction, and this is all the money and what else, where Ukraine will take a couple of tens of billions $, for the conversion of the entire military-industrial complex to new standards and technologies, to replace all weapons ???
