Ukrainian defense officials have stated that monthly output reached 20 units, with optimal conditions allowing for up to 36. By mid-2025, more than 85% of components were sourced domestically, with a target of reaching 95% by the end of the year. Manufacturing operations are distributed across facilities in Ukraine and EU member states to reduce exposure to missile attacks.
Marhanets, a town where more than 40 thousand people lived before the full-scale war, has been terrorized by Russians for over three years. The town has frequent power and water shortages, and the residents suffer from regular artillery shelling and drone attacks from the occupied Enerhodar on the left bank of the Dnipro, which is seven kilometres away in a straight line.
Ukraine has been highly successful at countering Russian artillery. Any gun firing can be spotted by counter-artillery radar, like the U.S. -made AN/TPQ-36 Firefinder, which tracks shells in flight and calculates their source. New Ukrainian-made acoustic detectors which recently went into mass production are likely to figure increasingly.
Russian forces have occupied the settlements of Zelenyi Kut and Novoukrainka near the administrative border between Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and Donetsk Oblast and are trying to advance further.
PGZ, one of Europe's largest arms manufacturers, aims to increase its production of large-calibre shells from about 30,000 a year to between 150,000 and 180,000 annually over the next six years, per the FT.
Ukraine's Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Building Plant (KZVV) has registered an international patent for the 2S22 Bohdana self-propelled howitzer. The design has been patented as a standalone artillery module, suitable for mounting on different chassis types, or as a complete artillery system in its full configuration.
A total of 48 combat clashes have occurred on the battlefield on 1 July 2025, with Ukrainian forces repelling 12 Russian assaults on the Pokrovsk front. The Russians also tried to advance on the North Slobozhansk front and in Russia’s Kursk Oblast but were largely repelled.
...and so it goes with a barrage that something loud is repeated over and over again perhaps to the consternation of some of those receiving the charge.
