Launch of Ammunition Factory in Ukraine
In partnership with the company “Ukrainian Armored Vehicles,” Excalibur Army has prepared a project to launch a factory for the production of artillery shells on Ukrainian territory. The enterprise is expected to begin operations this year. At the initial stage, the level of localization of production will be 50%, with a subsequent increase to 80%.
The new factory will be able to produce up to 100,000 shells of 155 mm caliber and another 50,000 shells of 105 mm caliber annually. This will significantly strengthen Ukraine’s own defense-industrial potential.
Strategic Partnership and Excalibur Army’s Experience
Ukraine ranks second among the most important markets for Czechoslovak Group, a leading manufacturer and supplier of weapons in Central Europe. Since the beginning of the full-scale aggression by the Russian Federation, Excalibur Army has already delivered over 1,000 units of combat equipment to the Ukrainian military, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery systems, rocket launchers, and more than 2 million large-caliber shells.
The largest defense company in the Czech Republic, Excalibur Army from the Czechoslovak Group, has opened its representative office in Ukraine and is preparing to launch ammunition production here. This step will help expand manufacturing capacities and enhance defense cooperation with Ukraine.
