Ukrainian media reported on the start of the use of self-produced 152 mm shells by the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Ukrainian information resources reported on the use of 152-mm artillery shells at the front by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), allegedly produced at the enterprises of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex.

These ammunition are yellow-lemon in color and marked OF-25T. They are positioned as analogues of the Soviet 152-mm projectile 3OF25 (OF-25, which is used for D-20 and 2S3 howitzers.

The fact that Ukrainian enterprises have established the production of such shells was reported at the end of November 2022 by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. However, no real confirmation of this statement was made. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov stressed at the time that Kyiv had no plans to produce 155 mm caliber shells used by Western-made artillery pieces. They are expected to continue to be received in Ukraine as military aid from Western states.

However, it is possible that the ambitious statements of the Ukrainian media that the shells are produced by the enterprises of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex may not be true. It is likely that the manufacturer of shells is still located outside of Ukraine.

Recently, the enterprises of a number of Eastern European countries have launched a process not only for the repair of Soviet-made Ukrainian military equipment, but also for the production of “Soviet-type” ammunition. First of all, we are talking about the industrial enterprises of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, which have certain production capabilities for the production of such ammunition.

How many more civilians will die in the Donbass .. Oh, Russia is a kind soul, we are all liberal, and ours are being killed

very bad news

The question arises why not all these enterprises are bombed?
They have Lord of the Rings scripts in there now. The roof is going down. The house is still standing.

“If we are in the Lord of the Rings scenario, and everyone understands this, there must be a return of the king, that is, Aragorn. Is Ukraine ready for a monarchy? And I’ll tell you, if you think rationally, the only way to kill everything Moscow is to declare a monarchy here. And to say that we are collecting the lands of the Rurikovichs. In Britain, there is a monarchy, right? Not the worst country in the world, "Arestovich said in an interview with Oleg Skripka, the lead singer of the Vopli Vidoplyasov group, an excerpt from which was published on the politician's Telegram page.

Even children's films cannot be especially impressionable. As a result, only such a conclusion.

Yes, normal news for all of us in Russia .. This says that we are doing everything right, otherwise our liberal adherents of the West have been brainwashed about "crap" and the sacred for how many years
inviolable private property in the west.
The eyes of ordinary residents of Russia have been opened for many things in our country .. This is the most important thing, I think!
Our cause is just, Victory will be ours

In June 2021, the company's president, chairman of the board of Artyom, Vladimir Zimin, announced that, as part of the experimental design work of Kovsh-55 to create domestic 155-mm shells, the company was moving on to testing finished ammunition[2].

At the beginning of July 2021, it became known that branch No. 1 of the State Enterprise "Spetsoboronmash", which is part of Ukroboronprom, successfully mastered the technology of loading 155-mm shells by vacuum filling

Well, it’s possible ... Once upon a time, the Union built enterprises in Ukraine capable of such ... But small "experimental" batches are one thing, and mass mass production is another! Often there is a difference between them, like between "heaven and earth" !

[dmi.pris1]

There is no need to be surprised. There is both production and specialists. They can fully master it. A matter of time.

[Nikolaevich I]

Their gratitude is boundless to us Russians .. Again, they are waiting for the Fuhrer!
Or maybe it's all for the better, the masks have been dropped and Russia again has two allies, the Army and the Navy!

[Fizik13]

Well, the shells were collected, somewhere in the Lvov region, a workshop was erected from imported machine tools and shells began to be machined from blanks. And gunpowder and explosives are imported. And this is all in scanty quantities, since there are no capacities, raw materials and personnel. But as always, with difficulty they released 100 pieces and shout about 100 thousand. BUT you still need to find and destroy the production of shells.
Pi Xi! But it can be even simpler, they repainted and re-marked a dozen ammunition and issued an advertisement on the mountain - we can do it!

So you have to justify yourself for the "used funds". And then they won't give it anymore!)))

[dmi.pris1]

Do not forget that in Ukraine there are industries where they can make special chemicals. It immediately comes to mind - Shostka, Pavlograd.

[Vladimir80]

and after all, our generals know the coordinates of all these enterprises and factories, the question is - why haven't they been destroyed yet?

[saigon]

The general is a state of consciousness, a stage in development and striped pants.
However, the general is dependent on political decisions, and if the generals were given the go-ahead to fight as expected without any quirks about specials and brothers and other conventions, I suspect that in the ruins of cities the living would envy the dead. But the general does not make such decisions; he must receive an order.

[Leader_Barmaleev]

If these shells are produced on the territory of Ukraine, then the enterprises that produce them should turn into rubble no later than today. If these munitions are imported from Europe, then the roads along which they are transported must turn into impassable trenches today too. If this does not happen, then enemies have settled in the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff.

[sgrabik]

If the production of these ammunition is really established on the territory of Ukraine, then it is necessary to establish its location and destroy it as soon as possible, they cannot make these shells imperceptibly, here the constant logistics for the materials necessary for production and the export of the finished shells themselves must be tracked.

[air wolf]

When will they make a decision about the normal bombing of the FAB, OTAB of the Bandera front line?

[Vladimir80]

When will they decide on the normal bombing of the FAB

until they smash all the air defense, they won’t start anything, and we can’t smash the air defense, which means they will never start

[navigator777]

It remains the case for small, to detect and destroy the production

[alexey_444]

The production of shells is a very energy-intensive occupation. The USSR unfortunately left a rich legacy to these orcs. It is quite possible that they have mastered it, but it is unlikely in a mass quantity.

[Aristarkh Pasechnik]

Yep, what's so hard about it? During the Second World War, shells were sharpened in collective farm workshops ....

Why such difficulties? If the contribution to the development of the Ukrainian electric power industry by "Geranami" continues and / or accelerates, then it is not necessary to look for a specific place for the possible (if electricity is available) production of ammunition! :)

[UAZ 452]

The demilitarization of Ukraine is proceeding according to the plan... Does it mean that the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which was promised since the spring, can not wait for the shell shortage?

[stankow]

Paint, so paint. But the damage and shell casings were so worn out that they picked it up from the battlefield and painted it by hand, sprayed it from a spray can. Art shell when from production - a feast for the eyes is simple, sparkles and even smells good - paint, varnish and resin from the box. Another copper belt of the projectile in the photo is a complete marriage. I was like that in the chamber - no way!

[vindigo]

If you are so good at ammunition. What explosive is currently used in high-explosive fragmentation shells? There is so much smoke after the explosion! What after the shells, what after the missiles. It feels like they are charging shimose there.

[stankow]

I don’t know, as far as I can see, they explode normally. The point is definitely there, it is much easier to produce, why change the technology. Smoke, of course, forms, and the shock wave raises even more drink and dirt. Chernozem!

[75 Sergey]

It's time to cut off Ukraine from resources from abroad, their logistics are excellent, and we will not strike at factories in Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland ... for now, because. this is TMV.
I hope Humpbacked and others like them, the devils are frying now.
