- The Kyiv Independent got access to a large-caliber ammunition foundry belonging to Norwegian-Finnish defense company Nammo, one of Europe’s foremost manufacturers of NATO-standard shells.
Munitions produced here range all the way from 40mm autocannon rounds upward, but it is the largest caliber that is most prized and most in-demand: the 155mm howitzer shell.

President Trumps next four (4) years will need to see the southern border of the US secured before securing another country's border, like Ukraine.
Thank you Sweden from Hungary. and I am thanking you not only on behalf of Ukraine but also for making up for the missing Hungarian commitment, I am ashamed of our government.
Thank you good people of Hungary, It is clear that you do not sympathize with your government and we support you. It's strange how quickly it can change, I want to remember that Viktor was very pro EU before.

I’m from the USA. I empathize with all the good people in Hungary. I am worried we will follow in the same path as Hungary. Stay connected to all the freedom loving allies you can.
@@EastBayE Understand your fear with cuckoos like MTG at the top on MAGA. At the same time, you have very strong constitutions, I have a feeling that the extremists "eat themselves"
Apart from the contributions of our respective governments we can all be saviours of freedom and contribute to containing Russia. For example, by donating to Ukraine24 which funds drone programmes.
And we understand that it is not Hungary itself, but corrupt politicians making these decisions.
Many thanks to Nammo! This joint Norwegian and Finnish company, with this factory in Sweden plus several other places, is scaling up production now. I just wish that it had come sooner and that the production increase had been even stronger.
Demand (money) is always the reason things go slowly. Add politicians into the mix and you have a syrup.

Sweden is an impressive nation. For such a comparably small population, their munufacturing capabilities are diverse and highly technical.
It is not for a small population, it is because of it. We have allways needed to utilize all resourses to the max, which made us develop technology to fill that task.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is stepping up to the challenge. From CA 🇺🇸 I am so grateful that Sweden has become a member of NATO.😊
I'm grateful too, what most people don't realise is that we have been in NATO for a long time. It started in the 50's but that was not known to the general public. In 1994 Sweden signed the first treaty with NATO and since then Sweden has trained and even fought with NATO forces in amongst other actions Yugoslavia and Afghanistan. Even for the general public, it has been clear since the 80s that we sooner or later would become a part of NATO. I live way up in Sweden above the Arctic Circle and a month ago there was a very big Nato exercise in the north of Scandinavia.
Same in Finland, we produce as much as we can on a red hot lvl.

Excellent. We in Slovakia are also ramping up our production. Greetings to my Swedish friends. We nedd 100 of this kind of factories around Europe. The freedom dividend is over.
Every EU country should have many of these factories
Well... perhaps just the capability to activate factories such as these with short notice. You don't want to propagate the military industrial complex beyond what's needed. Once russia is out of the picture, It would seem to me that most nations in europe are either democracies or weak. Russia will be the last powerful tyranny to necessitate economic levels of defense.
@@TheZoneTakesYou how bout china taking all china sea from all neighbour countries. taking over taiwan and their industries and tech?should we just leave everything for the americans to solve?
Yean. France can only make 3000 shells/month, thats like 4 hours worth in Ukraine at the moment...
Europe doesn't have the spare steel production or electricity generation capacity to produce the shell forgings in quantity. It would take at least 5 years and billions of dollars to expand the capacity and as soon as the ukraine war ends there'll be no need for it.
you must like war
Makes me proud as a Swedish person. Honestly, Ukraine defeating Russia is great on a strategic level, but I think unlike some more far away countries we can empathize because we have a lot of eastern Europeans living in Sweden, everyone has a friend from the former soviet union and we've heard some of the horrible things that were done to you, and of course Russia has a habit of flying nuclear bombers into our airspace for fun, and the older generations remember the cold war back when we had a big military focus in society. What I'm saying is that thankfully it seems like my country despite not having been ruled by Russia has some understanding of how important this is, hopefully it'll be enough to keep support high, as far as I know we're one of the most united countries in supporting Ukraine. Much love from Sweden. Slava ukraini!
thank you brother; in romania my family also suffered much under the soviet union. basically no freedom of speech, police state, etc. you know the drill. we need to help ukraine beat russia. europe needs to stand united. for our futures and our childrens' futures. for freedom and against oppression!
Exactly how do you think Ukraine can “defeat” Russia? Russia has far more population, resources and weapons (even with today’s help from the West, which is declining). Also - how do you define “defeat”? Taking back Crimea, taking Moscow, what? Do you really think it’s feasible?

Karlskoga is the same city where Bofors designed, built, exported and licensed the Bofors 40mm cannons the Allies used during WW2. These guns are still on most of the U.S and British museum ships from that era. Glad to see it's ready and able again, when some are in need. 😊
I believe that modernised versions of the Bofors 40mm are still in service with many navies and armies.
Thanks, Sweden!
@@alexandermonro6768 main gun on Swedish IFVs, Koreans use a gun developed from it too, airburst 40x365 is a terrifying round to be up against.
and the design of the gun itself is just very well thought out, it was easily upsized to a 57mm l60, then the l70 57 which the USN, USCG, RCN and many other navies still use on their backbone frigates, with programable fuses and pre-frag shells, fits perfectly into the ``kill small boats & drones`` role.
Still in use in modernised configurations. The CV90 IFV has a modernised Bofors 40mm, Koreas K21 IFV has a Korean licensed version on it too. Shells have really developed though. Airburst frag round and fire most of the frag downwards and burst over the target with absolute precision.
It is the same company, Bofors, that has been an arms producer since the 1600's.
Only difference over the centuries is the ownership.
Russia won WW2 after the greatest land battle in history, defeated Finland and Germany at the same time, liberated Poland and Ukraine that were fully occupied, liberated Auschwitz and surrounded Berlin. I think you will find that the greatest tank battle in history was at Kursk, and Russia won and Germany lost.

@@lg2058You don’t negotiate with Russians. And with enough ammo Russians will run of convicts and farmers and will be forced to draft people in St Petersburg.
@@ghostviggen Inability to negotiate is precisely the reason for this war
Swedish ammunition are ones with high quality, which is largely due to the unionized, highly educated, trained and experienced workers - which is much the opposite of the North Korean ammunition supplied to Russia
The peculiarity of North Korean shells is that they are quiet, they cannot be heard on approach, which is why no one has time to fall to the ground and take cover. Swedish shells still make noise like shells from WWII.

In Sweden, there was an accident in 1968 when a 155mm exploded in the chamber of a howitzer, some deaths and injuries. ALL live 155 was recalled and emptied of the explosive. Then repeated and refilled, because they suspected that it was air bubbles that was compressed as the grenade was fired and enough energy was released to ignite the grenade. The howitzer got a crack in the chamber but was restored to mint condition. And went on to be very accurate compared to others who had developed some play in bearings and such. In 1981 was the HE grenades released for peace time practice. This howitzer was the 4th gun in our battery when I did my conscripted service, and we had some officers that was in that unit when this occurred. They never talked about it, just acknowledged that they were present there when in happened. There is a peice of 8mm film that shows everything until the burst burnt the film.
It's called adiabatic compression and is indeed why it should be insured that there are no voids/buble in the cast explosive.
Thank you. Excellent mini-doc presenting the complexities of 155mm production.
Took the words right out of my mouth...it "simply" explains the delays and bottlenecks in production...very informative.
@@davegoud Did you see the Washington Post of yesterday, 18 April 2024? The authors tracked the money to the various Congressional districts.

Norwegian Nammo company, which also has finnish owners, really know their stuff,👏👏 know some guys who work there. All the best to Ukraine🇺🇦👊💙💛 from me in Norway, 45 minutes from Nammo headquarters
The main issue with ammo production is to ramp up the number of these expensive production lines while not being sure what the future demands are.
But with Russia behaving like this, it looks like NAMMO will have to produce a lot of shells for many years, just to restock and expand the inventories of the militaries in Europe.

@@Mortthemoose The Danish government has recently purchased the (gigantic) buildings of an old ammo factory that we (stupidly) sold off a long time ago. Nammo will furnish the plant and operate it in a joint venture with the Danish state. It will produce every common caliber from 5.56mm to 155mm, and is expected to be fully operational in 2026. Until then every purchase we've made, that are still in the pipeline, will be rerouted directly to Ukraine. We literally do not have any 120mm mortar shells or 155mm howitzer shells in inventory, and will continue to be "bare naked" until our own plant is operational.
@@Mortthemoose The UK government authorized an 8x increase in shell production in June 2023 - they've added shifts on the current production line, boosting production, and are in the process of adding a second line. Target for completion of the new production line (and training the staff for it) is June 2025. It's probably the most modern facility in Europe at the moment and will possibly supply a quarter of Europe's contribution to Ukraine once it's complete. Many countries don't have shell production capabilities simply because unless there's a war on, it's uneconomic to maintain the facilities, especially as smaller countries don't need much for training purposes given their limited number of tubes in their arsenals.
So much money to be made. Swedens most powerful people make billions on this shit. They have done it for many many years. They sell to whoever and the corrupt companies don't need to disclose who they sell to.

Engineering is in the DNA of almost all Swedish people. Even normal household members are like carpenters, electricians, car repair etc. Most Swedish families can renovate their kitchen or installing shower cabinets by themselves. They have magic hands..
Never thought they would fill them by hand out of "milk canisters". But if you don't need many in peace, that might be fast enough. The roboter should be able to fill up many more to increase the capacity together with the extra cooling chambers.
Yes, quite a surprise, I was thinking it would be something like a Coca-Cola bottling factory, but it’s more like bottling fine wines in a small vineyard
Well, filling is obviosly not the bottle-neck in the production, so a more efficliant filling will probably not increse production that much.
@@MaskinJunior Indeed. He said that cooling down is the bottleneck. But that might need its time so it doesn't throw bubbles if too fast.
It's not exactly any sauce you deal with here. It's explosive and has to be gently poured. They flush the floor with water for a reason.🎆
yeah, I was surprised seeing this hand pouring as well.
Hopefully, the whole process could be made much more productive with time using modern technologies. This would make the whole Europe safer for generations to come.
Sweden and it's Viking/Nordic neighbors are truly a gift from God.
The Aesirs would not agree...😂🤡
Thank you Sweden! From Canada.
God bless these fine people. Helping defend freedom. Thank you for your service🙏🙏🙏
ABOUT FRIKKEN TIME THESE COUNTRIES REALLY STARTED TO STEP UP
The US GOP really blew it. Good for Europe and the Nordic nations to step up production.
Since the end o WW II Europe relied on the US for it's defense while it underspent on defense. It also got in bed with Russia buying energy from their now enemy. Why do you blame the GOP for Europe's screw-up?.
Thank you Sweden. As a swiss I am ashamed of my country (as usual) taking profit from it's so called "neutrality" as an excuse to not do anything. There was time back in the cold war )ay the eighties) where you had a rather strong anti-sovet propaganda in Switzerland but now that Russia is no longer a left leanist country but a far right nationalist and extermist country Switzerland don't see Russia agression in central EUrope as an issue ? Go figure, maybe the Swiss Conseil Federal is not too far away ideologically from Putin after all.
Doing nothing = supporting Russia. You know the truth..
@@Satanist-zm2rq Most stupid shit I have ever heard lmao. No need to care about some country that owns nothing to yours. Fix your own problems Nazi Ukraines
How much does it cost to make one shell? could we have a "buy a shell for Ukraine" campaign
A huge lot. More than the monthly wage of many people. What I do is to give donations for Drones. I donate for Ukraine since 2015 already. 🇺🇦
@@duartesimoes508 Pre-war-time-shortage a standard 155mm HE Frag shell went for ~1000€. Now they're at about 2700€.
@@andersjjensenway more than I imagined. And so many thousands are fired every day. Worse still, many raw materials will likewise become scarce, harder to find and much more expensive to buy. And this will happen in the West much before it happens in ruzzia, which was unfortunately blessed with every commodity except a normal brain.
@@duartesimoes508We can buy all over the world, we pay the highest prices if we have to! Freedom has no price!!!
@@duartesimoes508 The amount of steel used in a shell is not ever, even remotely, going to be a problem. A single car assembly line sees more steel go past in an hour than Ukraine fires shells per day (even assuming they have all they need). The explosive component is made from compounds derived from oil and nitric acid. The "expensive part" is the energy consumption in explosives manufacturing. It's basically a gigantic chemical battery that can discharge all it's energy in an instant. But that energy has to come from somewhere.
Thank you so much, any words I can write wont describe even 1% of my gratitude towords you ❤
This gives me hope for humanity, shows that in our increasingly individualized world, where most thinks only for themselves, there is still people with a ❤ and care for others.
We are weak when divided, we are strong when coalesced.
Swedish engineering can be relied on to manufacture The factory looks great ,Well done
When it comes to the defense industry, people always talk about production lines like those at Ford or Audi, but it's mostly manual work. Something is ordered so rarely that it makes no sense to produce it any other way. There is no such thing as tanks on a treadmill. As long as we don't declare an emergency and mobilize, there won't be anything like that. The best example is WW2. Germany reached its highest level of arms production in 1944. This shows how sluggish arms production is.
(If you were wondering why the Swedish expert kept referring to artillery shells as "grenades" it may be habit: the Swedish word for an artillery shell is artillerigranat.)
Blessings from the USA. Very thankful to see Sweden and our other allies trying to pick up the slack now that my nation has been faltering
Impressive production 👍🏻
It's a joke 😂
@@MMAX-db9cvyes you are 😂
Soldiers hold lines but artillary, missiles, and bombs are king of duels.
Thank You!!!!
Thank you guys for your work
Thankyou Sweden. God Bless you. From a Ukrainian Canadian.
Its finland not sweeden
And you have a polish first name and surname, so you are a polish agitator, not a ukranian. Pooland is next.
SS Galicia division by any chance?
Excellent Video.
The guy did a good job explaining the x-ray’s purpose.
Fantastic. Thank you for your work!
Great segment
Thanks SVERGE
Please world, help Ukraine!
Magnificent!
This was very informative. Keep up the good work....
Jeez, to everyone commenting on the hand pouring and manual carts instead of automation and rails. It's a war plant folks. Meaning it might get hit. You can pour and pull carts with no lights or walls. You can't automate a turd without power. Efficiency is for peace time, effectiveness is for war time. That plant will continue to function even if it's attacked every night.
