It is noted that Nammo has signed an agreement that facilitates the establishment of licensed production of 155-mm artillery shells in Ukraine by a Ukrainian defense company. The ammunition will be used by Ukrainian troops.
Currently, Norway is contributing by providing ammunition from its stockpile and directly from industry. Now Nammo wants to share its designs with Ukraine. This means that Ukrainian troops will be able to receive ammunition faster.”
The government supports this cooperation and has decided to allocate funds to allow Nammo to transfer technology and expertise to its Ukrainian partner. This activity is funded under the Nansen program.
Ukraine is in great need of artillery ammunition to counter Russian aggression. The Norwegian government has taken a number of steps to increase the production of artillery ammunition in Norway. At the same time, we recognize the importance of strengthening the capacity of Ukrainians to produce modern artillery ammunition in Ukraine.”
