The Arsenal of Democracy

“The US Army on Friday announced the award of a nearly $1 billion contract to increase production of 155 mm artillery rounds that are being used in large quantities by Ukraine.
General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems and American Ordnance LLC will compete for individual orders of the rounds under the $993.7 million contract, the army said in a statement.

The aim is to produce between 12,000 and 20,000 additional rounds per month, it added.

The announcement comes after the army awarded $522 million in orders for the same rounds to two other companies in a deal funded by the Pentagon’s Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.”

We are not the only country in the alliance of free nations that is ramping up defense production.
