The U.S. Department of Defense reported on this. The company has now completed the construction of a new factory in Ukraine and is ramping up and expanding production.

D&M is not a company that will control the production of ammunition, but is only a builder of the facility.

The company is a provider of turnkey ammunition manufacturing solutions for government and commercial customers seeking large-scale engineering and production solutions. Products and services include equipment design and manufacturing, as well as engineering and consulting services.

Other details about what kind of ammunition will be produced at the factory are unknown. However, there is a high probability that the new factory will produce rifle ammunition in 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm caliber. It is possible that production could be expanded to accommodate new rounds and small-caliber projectiles.

A number of European and American companies have recently announced the construction of ammunition plants in Ukraine.

Also, some of them have granted licenses to produce shells on the territory of Ukraine. Militarnyi previously reported that Ukraine would launch the production of 155mm shells using the technology of the Norwegian company Nammo. The government has allocated funds to allow Nammo to transfer technology and experience to a Ukrainian partner.

The funding will be provided under the Nansen program.
