Excalibur Army and Ukrainian Armor to Launch Ammunition Production This Year

The Czech company Excalibur Army, part of the Czechoslovak Group, has opened a representative office in Ukraine to expand cooperation and launch localized ammunition production.

This was announced in the company’s official press release.

Excalibur Army emphasizes that opening the office will deepen collaboration with Ukrainian partners, optimize logistics, and establish joint production of defense products on Ukrainian soil.

In partnership with the company Ukrainian Armor, a project has already been prepared to localize the production of large-caliber ammunition.

“We have supported Ukraine since the very first day of the full-scale invasion and will remain as long as needed – this step is a testament to our long-term commitment. The new office is not just a symbol; it is a practical move that will accelerate decision-making, improve logistics, and ensure closer cooperation with partners on the ground. At this time, we cannot disclose production details, but our team will work to ensure that our technologies and solutions meet the real conditions on the battlefield,” Jan Krátký, Marketing Director of Excalibur Army, stated.

The Ukrainian branch of the company will be responsible for order processing, documentation support, and technical consultations, significantly reducing response times and providing greater operational flexibility.

A key focus will be the joint production of artillery ammunition, specifically 155 mm caliber rounds.

The memorandum with Ukrainian Armor was signed back in 2024.

Ammunition production is scheduled to begin in 2025.

Excalibur Army emphasizes that this is a crucial step toward ensuring Ukraine’s strategic autonomy in ammunition production.

According to Vladyslav Belbas, Director General of Ukrainian Armor LLC, the company is ready to manufacture over 100,000 rounds of various types in 155 mm caliber and 50,000 rounds of 105 mm caliber as soon as a government order is received.

At the initial stage, more than 50% of production will be localized, with this figure expected to rise to 80% in the future.
