Ukraine is now producing much more shells than in whole of last year - Kamyshin
This year’s production of shells has increased significantly compared to 2022, but Ukraine mostly relies on supplies from Western partners.
Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine Oleksandr Kamyshin said this at a briefing on the sidelines of the NATO Industrial Forum in Stockholm, Censor.NET reports citing Interfax-Ukraine.
"As for the capabilities of the domestic defence industry, we are growing significantly. And if we talk, for example, about shells, we are now producing many times more of them than we did last year. But in any case, this is far from the amount we need," he said.
According to the minister, no matter how much Ukraine increases local production of shells, it will still be heavily dependent on Western supplies.
"... We are in the biggest war of generations. And the level of consumption of shells is quite high," Kamyshin said.
