Slovakia plans to resume production of 120 mm and 155 mm projectiles in the country. They are planned to be delivered to Ukraine.

This was announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country, Rastislav Kacher, during his visit to Kyiv.

“We are now talking about how to launch our production facilities. We produced shells of large caliber — 120, 155 millimeters. We have capacities for these calibers — partly state, partly private,” he noted.

Kacher emphasized that it is now necessary to launch these capacities for the production of shells. The main priority is to manufacture 155-mm shells for Western howitzers.

  • The government of Slovakia approved a new package of military aid to Ukraine. It includes ammunition, in particular large caliber, warm clothes for the military and other equipment. Also, Slovakia plans to hand over 300 electric generators to Ukraine this month and participate in the reconstruction of a settlement in the Kyiv region.
