Quote: "At the request of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, the first batch of 125-mm shells for T-64, T-72 and T-80 tanks, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine use to fight the occupiers, has already been delivered."

Details: It is reported that this is the second ammunition the State Concern businesses have produced in close partnership with a NATO country abroad.

The State Concern reiterated that for the first time since independence, Ukraine has launched its own production of ammunition: 82-mm and 120-mm mortar shells, 122-mm and 152-mm artillery rounds, and now a 125-mm tank shell.

For security reasons, the production has been moved outside the country, but Ukrainians are involved in the creation of the ammunition: designers, technologists, turners, foundry workers, etc.

Ukroboronprom has also recently signed a contract with the Ministry of Defenсe for the supply of 120-mm mortar shells manufactured in cooperation with one of the North Atlantic Alliance member states.
