Ukrainian information resources reported on the use at the front by the armed forces of Ukraine (VSU) 152-mm artillery shells, allegedly produced at the enterprises of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex.
These ammunition are yellow-lemon in color and marked OF-25T. They are positioned as analogues of the Soviet 152-mm projectile 3OF25 (OF-25, which is used for howitzers D-20 and 2S3.
About, that Ukrainian enterprises have established the production of such shells, back at the end of November 2022 year reported in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. However, no real confirmation of this statement was made. Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov then stressed, that Kyiv does not plan to produce shells of caliber 155 mm, used by western-made artillery pieces. They are expected to continue to be received in Ukraine as military aid from Western states..
However, it is not excluded, that the ambitious statements of the Ukrainian media about, that shells are produced by enterprises of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex may not correspond to reality. probably, that the shell manufacturer is still located outside of Ukraine.
Recently, at the enterprises of a number of countries in Eastern Europe, a process has been established not only for the repair of Ukrainian military equipment of Soviet production, but also the production of "Soviet-type" ammunition. Firstly, we are talking about industrial enterprises in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, which have certain production capabilities for the production of such ammunition. used photos:Telegram channel of Vladimir Zelensky
