Ukraine now produces ‘many times more’ shells than in entire last year – Kamyshin
Minister for Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin has said that by the end of this year Ukraine will produce tens of thousands of drones per month.
“As for the capabilities of the domestic defense industry, we are growing significantly. And if we talk, for example, about shells, now we are producing many times more of them than in the entire last year. But in any case, this is quite far from what we need,” he said at a briefing at the NATO Industrial Forum, which is taking place in Stockholm on Wednesday.
According to the minister, no matter how much Ukraine increases local production, it will still largely rely on Western supplies.
“Because we have the biggest war of generations. And the level of consumption of shells is quite high,” Kamyshin emphasized.
