The facility will primarily focus on the local manufacturing of arms and equipment to build the country’s military arsenal to fight against the Russian forces.
Further, the potential venture would help address the continuing need for a wide range of weapons, such as tanks and artillery systems, amid heavy fighting in some strategic locations in Ukraine.
