Solutions to win: Ukrainian arms manufacturer and two NATO countries to open production of 120mm mines

Arms company Ukrainian Armor and two NATO countries have opened joint production of 120 mm mortar mines.

Rubryka reports, referring to the Ukrainian Armor.

What is the problem?

At the end of winter, the Ukrainian Defense Forces faced the problem of a shortage of artillery shells, so at the beginning of May, the Council of the European Union approved a decision to help Ukraine with the joint procurement of ammunition and missiles. This agreement involves the transfer of one million shells to Ukraine.

At the beginning of June, the European Parliament supported a document on increasing the European production of ammunition and missiles. In July, the European plan to expand the production of ammunition and missiles came into force.

What is the solution?

The company Ukrainian Armor and two NATO countries established a joint production of 120 mm mortar mines. 

How does it work?

It is reported that the Ukrainian Defense Forces have already started receiving thousands of new mortar mines manufactured thanks to this agreement.

"Today, the 120 mm mortar is one of the most common types of artillery weapons with the Ukrainian army. 120 mm mines effectively hit the enemy's manpower and equipment, destroy covers, firing positions," the statement emphasized.

The statement notes that the mines are manufactured using modern technologies and fully comply with NATO standards.
