The state concern “Ukroboronprom” has taken a significant step towards the development of Ukraine’s defense industry by signing agreements with two leading companies from the European Union.

Cooperation with Rheinmetall
The concern has signed a memorandum of cooperation with the German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall. The agreement provides for the establishment of a joint venture that will engage in the production of artillery ammunition on Ukrainian territory. This will strengthen the country’s defense capabilities and meet the needs of the Armed Forces.
It is worth noting that “Ukroboronprom” and Rheinmetall already have a successful track record of cooperation. Last year, the companies jointly established an enterprise that focuses on the repair of Western military equipment, with the prospect of setting up production.
Agreement with Escribano
Additionally, one of the divisions of “Ukroboronprom” has signed an agreement with the Spanish company Escribano Mechanical & Engineering. This company specializes in the production of modern combat modules. As part of the cooperation, technical maintenance and repair of Spanish-made combat modules are planned, along with joint development of new weapon samples and licensed production of products at Ukrainian enterprises.
“Escribano combat modules are already being installed on armored vehicles of Soviet, Ukrainian, and Western designs that are in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
