Ukraine ramps up domestic arms production as troops face weapons shortage on battlefield - CNA

SCRAMBLING TO PRODUCE MORE WEAPONS

Ukraine has no choice but to pump out more weapons, and faster than ever before, with big factories and even homes being used in the country’s fast-expanding military industrial complex. 

When CNA visited one factory in an undisclosed location in the Kyiv region, armoured infantry vehicles were getting their final touches on the assembly line.

Ukrainian Armor, the defence industry company operating it, said production has increased significantly since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

The firm is behind the multi-purpose armoured vehicle Novator, built to protect troops from shrapnel and small arms fire.

“For vehicles, we expanded more than 10 times,” said Ukrainian Armor director-general Vladislav Belbas. 

“In 2023, we started to produce each month the same quantity as we produced in (the whole of) 2022. So it’s quite significant. And this year, compared to 2023, we plan to expand approximately three times.”
