The first batch has already been shipped to the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The State Concern UkrOboronProm, in cooperation with a NATO country, has set up the production of 122mm artillery shells abroad and has already shipped a batch to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This was reported by the press service of the state concern.
This is the third type of ammunition after 120mm mortar shells and 125mm tank shells, which is manufactured using Ukrainian technology and with the involvement of Ukrainian specialists at foreign facilities.
The 122mm projectile is used by Ukrainian artillery in conjunction with D-30 trailed howitzers (maximum range of 15,400 m) and 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled artillery systems (maximum range of 15,200 m).
"The order of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine was preceded by factory tests, during which Ukroboronprom confirmed the necessary tactical and technical characteristics of the projectile: the strength of the body when fired, the stability of the equipment, the maximum range, the check of the firing pattern, the completeness of the projectile burst.
It is noteworthy that the number of fragments significantly exceeds the fragmentation of the standard Soviet model," the state concern stated.
