๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ดโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ โ€“ Norwegian defense company Nammo has signed a strategic partnership agreement with a major Ukrainian military firm

The agreement is aimed at strengthening the defense capability of Ukraine by increasing the production of ammunition, components and materials.

The partnership builds on a previous agreement from August 2024, which allowed for the licensed production of 155mm artillery shells in the so-called Ukraine for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to Norwegian Defence Minister Tore O. Sandvik, support for Ukraine's military industry remains one of Norway's top priorities.

Nammo's contribution includes the transfer of technology and expertise , while the Ukrainian side focuses on increasing industrial capacity.

Nammo CEO Morten Brandtzeg said the goal is to further strengthen Ukraine's military potential and European security.

The agreement was signed with the participation of the Minister of Strategic Industries of the so-called Ukraine Herman Smetanin and the State Secretary of Defense of Norway Andreas Flom. It also signals an interest in future cooperation in the field of demining and disposal operations.
