The Ukroboronprom state concern has started producing 125-mm projectiles for tank guns. This is stated in the message of the concern, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"Ukroboronprom has started producing 125-mm projectiles for a tank gun. This is the second ammunition, the production of which the enterprises of the Concern have launched in close partnership with a NATO country abroad," the message says.
It is noted that the first batch of 125-mm shells for T-64, T-72 and T-80 tanks, with which the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine hit the invaders, has already been delivered by order of the Ministry of Defense.
In general, for the first time since independence, Ukraine launched its own production of ammunition: 82 mm and 120 mm mortar mines, 122 mm and 152 mm artillery rounds, and now 125 mm tank shells.
For security reasons, production has been moved outside the country, but Ukrainians participate in the creation of ammunition: designers, technologists, turners, and foundries.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in February, Ukroboronprom announced that it and one of the member countries of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) began to jointly produce 120 mm mines.
In March, the Cabinet of Ministers ordered the production of 120-mm mortar mines, 155-mm caliber ammunition, and ammunition for unmanned aerial vehicles.
