Ukroboronprom starts industrial cooperation in production of ammunition

The Ukroboronprom State Concern has started practical organization of sectoral industrial cooperation in production of ammunition, the press service of the concern has reported.

According to the report, one of the participants of the cooperation will be Artem Machine-Building Firm (Kyiv), where the organization of production of 152-mm artillery ammunition has been started.

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov studied the opportunities of ammunition production at Artem on November 24, 2017, the concern said.

According to plans earlier announced by the Economic Development and Trade Ministry, it is planned to organize ammunition production in Ukraine in several segments. The options discussed include assembly of 5.45-14.5 mm ammunition at production facilities of the Defense Ministry.

Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister Yuriy Brovchenko said that production of large-caliber ammunition, including 155 mm, will be provided within sectoral cooperation with participation of Ukroboronprom's enterprises and key players of the Ukrainian ammunition sector.

"The organization of the closed-cycle ammunition production at one enterprise is inviable," he told Interfax-Ukraine in September.

He also said that the ministry is ready to consider proposals on development of ammunition production in Ukraine in international cooperation with participation of western partners.
