In Ukraine, the collapse of the ammunition industry was stated

There is no ammunition industry in Ukraine, it must be created from scratch, Igor Fomenko, acting general director of the state concern Ukroboronprom, said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

“Unfortunately, there is no ammunition industry left in Ukraine, it, in fact, needs to be created from the very beginning. From small to large calibers. Now all this is being acquired. Of course, warehouse leftovers are also used, but among them there are those that have already reached the end of their service life, they sometimes lose their characteristics during the time they are in warehouses, ”Fomenko stated the collapse of the industry.

He recalled that the Ukrainian side signed a contract with the American company GreyFox, which received an advance payment, but did not supply large-caliber shells. “Artem won the court with them in the Stockholm arbitration, now the task is to implement this decision,” said Fomenko.

At the same time, he expressed the hope that in December the authorities will make a decision, thanks to which the work on the creation of the ammunition industry and the acquisition of the necessary equipment will continue. Fomenko specified that payments and supplies for the purchase of equipment should be unblocked.

Earlier, the Luhansk Cartridge Plant, which produced ammunition, operated in Ukraine. Since 2014, it has been located on the territory of Donbass, which is not controlled by the Ukrainian side.
