The company is also negotiating to begin the production of HIMARS, its CEO Armin Papperger told Reuters.
As was reported, Ukraine and Russia are firing thousands of artillery rounds daily. The demand for artillery shells has extremely increased while Ukraine has also started its domestic production of 152-mm artillery rounds.
