MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US defense contractor Northrop Grumman has reached a deal with Ukraine's Ukroboronservice to jointly produce ammunition in Ukraine, becoming the first US company to start production in the country, the Breaking Defense magazine reported, citing a company spokesperson.
The deal for the production of medium-caliber ammunition will not involve any Northrop Grumman personnel in the country, as it plans to "do this work from [the company's] operations in the United States," the spokesperson told the magazine.
"As part of the co-production agreement, Northrop Grumman will provide the equipment and training to install an assembly line so that [Ukroboronservice] can produce and test advanced medium caliber ammunition in Ukraine," the spokesperson said.
In June, the defense contractor's director of international business, Dave Bartell, said Northrop Grumman also had plans to establish production of tank ammunition and 155-millimeter shells in Ukraine.
