Ukraine will manufacture howitzers with a British license and air defense systems with the US.
As the Minister of Strategic Industry Oleksandr Kamyshin noted, Ukraine will manufacture howitzers under the license of a British company next year. In addition, Ukraine has started working on a joint military venture with a German company, and a Turkish company is already building a plant in Ukraine. In addition, Ukraine and the US will jointly produce air defense systems in Ukraine.
“During our visit to the US, we received not only another assurance of continued financial and military support but also readiness to work on the joint production of air defense systems,” Kamyshin said.
According to him, the first results of joint production will be by the end of 2023.
“In addition to air defense, there will be a joint production of projectiles, although industrial facilities will be located in one of Ukraine’s neighboring countries. There will also be a project to produce spare parts for military helicopters”.
