The official website of the Norwegian government reported that it “paved the way for the transfer of Norwegian defense technologies to Ukraine,” referring to the establishment of licensed production of 155-mm artillery shells by the well-known ammunition manufacturer Nammo.
The Norwegian government emphasized that Ukraine currently has an enormous need for ammunition in its war against russia, and Nammo has already taken several steps to increase the production of artillery shells. In July of this year, it was reported that a new production line was opened for a tenfold (!) scale-up.
At the same time, as noted by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, the time has now come to strengthen Ukraine’s capabilities in producing artillery ammunition. “Nammo has signed a deal that facilitates the establishment of licensed production of 155-mm artillery shells in Ukraine by a Ukrainian defense company,” according to a statement by the Norwegian government.
It is known that this agreement will be funded by the Norwegian government. Other details, including the project’s cost, implementation timeline, and potential production rates, have not been disclosed.
