The timing of the construction of a new cartridge plant was announced in Ukraine
The construction of a new cartridge plant in Ukraine, announced in early June, will take at least four years. This was stated by the chairman of the board of the Ukrainian state-owned company "Artem" Vladimir Zimin.
According to the head of the company, the contract concluded by Ukroboronprom with the Canadians for the construction of the cartridge plant will be fulfilled, and Ukraine will definitely receive its own production of cartridges. He allotted four years for the construction of the plant, and this with timely financing of the project.
Zimin assured that land plots in different parts of the country have already been prepared for the project, all that remains is to choose the right one. Ukraine's problems with high-quality brass in Kiev are promised to be solved by the start of production.
- he added.
Recall that an agreement for the construction of the cartridge plant Ukroboronprom and the Artem company were signed with the Canadian companies GL Munitions Inc. and Waterbury Farrel. There are no construction details yet.
Note that after 2014, Kiev several times promised to establish the production of cartridges: in 2018 they promised to launch the production of ammunition of "Soviet" calibers, in 2019 - "NATO" ones, but everything remained as it was. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has been "building" its own cartridge plant for three years already, more than 300 million hryvnias have already been spent on it, but there are no rumors about the opening.
