Ukrainian state company purchased 152-mm shells made in Bulgaria from Poland
On one of the specialized resources, tracking export-import operations, information on the purchase of a batch of artillery shells by Ukraine was released. It said, that the Ukrainian state-owned company Spetstechnoexport, part of the structure of "Ukroboronprom", purchased from Poland 152-mm shells made in Bulgaria.

The Polish company Arm-Tech Spółka Z Ograniczoną Odpowiedzialnością was the supplier of ammunition produced by the Bulgarian company VMZ for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.. A total of 260 high-explosive fragmentation projectiles VOF-542U, used in ACS 2S3 "Akatsiya" and towed howitzers D-20 in the amount of 262 thousands of dollars.

It should be noted, that this is not the first such purchase. So, at 2019 year SE "Spetstechnoexport" purchased three thousand similar ammunition and two thousand shells VOF-546.

In a similar way, which is the purchase of Bulgarian ammunition from a Polish company, at 2019 year, another Ukrainian company, Promoboronexport, also operated, which purchased 2444 40-millimeter high-explosive fragmentation rounds OG-7V made in Bulgaria for RPG-7 hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers for 403 thousands of dollars.

In Ukraine, attempts to manufacture shells for 2S3 "Akatsiya" and D-20 are being carried out by the company "Rubin-2017". true, as it became known to the Ukrainian edition of Defense Express, for a number of reasons, the military returns the received ammunition to the manufacturer.

Earlier, the Ukrainian expert Vladimir Shchetinin noted, that in the manufacture of shells Ukrainian gunsmiths use a different explosive and low quality metal. Because of this, there is a danger of a spontaneous explosion at the time of the shot.. Besides, an explosive can increase in volume during storage, which makes the projectile dangerous not only when shooting, but also during storage.
