State-owned defense conglomerate Ukroboronprom (Ukroboronprom State Concern) created a center for the maintenance and repair of foreign weapons.

This was reported by the press service of the concern.

The newly created organization, the International Engineering Center, will be engaged in the repair of weapons and military equipment of foreign production.

This will allow timely and high-quality servicing of foreign weapons, which are transferred by partners and allies to increase the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the war with the Russian Federation.

It is reported that the specialists of the center will be trained and certified to work with foreign military equipment.

Ukroboronprom stressed that each unit of weapons received from international partners should function and immediately be fixed if disabled.

“The International Engineering Center is designed to restore the combat readiness of foreign-made equipment in the shortest possible time,” the company noted.

Last month, Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said that Ukraine is interested in constructing bases for repairing Western equipment and cartridge works.

He noted that now Ukraine has received a large number of the latest foreign weapons that need to be maintained.

Therefore, the state is considering the possibility of creating joint ventures to service equipment both in eastern Europe and in western Ukraine.

“The creation of bases for the restoration of spare parts, various components for equipment, and even a cartridge works is relevant,” Reznikov said.

In addition, it is known that Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria are already helping with the repair and modernization of equipment for Ukraine.
