On the supply of French-Australian-made shells to Ukraine

On the supply of French-Australian-made shells to Ukraine Recently, the authorities of France and Australia agreed on the joint supply of 155-mm artillery shells for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The ammunition will be compatible with French, German and American artillery mounts. The production of shells will be implemented within the framework of an already existing agreement between the two countries.

The branch of the French company Thales in Australia supplies raw materials, which are then processed in France. At the Eurenco plant, gunpowder is produced from it, which the state company Nexter uses to create artillery ammunition. The first batch should leave (https://t.me/tasmanian_diablo/812) for Ukraine at the end of the first quarter of 2023. ▪️Together with artillery shells, the French government is going (https://t.me/rybar/42832) to send AMX-10 tanks and 12 CAESAR howitzers to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in addition to the previously delivered 18. ▪️Unlike France, Australia has so far refrained from new arms deliveries. Despite the calls (https://t.me/rybar/43010) of Ukrainian Ambassador Vasily Miroshnichenko to allocate more and more funds in support of the Kyiv regime, the size of the Australian state budget does not allow the government to increase this item of expenditure. 🔻 Why did the governments of France and Australia decide to organize a joint supply of weapons? According to the French channel @capitalefr, the deal testifies (https://t.me/capitalefr/5253) to the systematic improvement of relations between the states after the Australian government terminated the contract with the French Navy for the purchase of Attack-class submarines in September 2021. The decision was then made just after the creation of the defense alliance of the United States, Great Britain and Australia - AUKUS. Now, according to Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles, "bilateral relations with France are improving" and the countries are going to increase cooperation in the defense sphere.
