He also added that rounds of this caliber were essential for the Ukrainian army. They are used daily by Ukrainian artillery to fire D-30 towed howitzers and 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers.

According to Belbas, the company has managed to establish systematic serial production and significantly increase the production of 122-mm artillery rounds. As previously reported, Ukrainian Armor handed over the first thousand 122-mm high-explosive rounds with a full charge to the Ukrainian military in August last year. At the same time, the company continues to produce and develop new models of armored vehicles and weapons.
