Sweden to spend 500 million kronor to boost ammunition supply for the Armed Forces

The government is spending 500 million kronor to strengthen the supply of ammunition to the Armed Forces.

"Sweden, individually and together with the other Nordic countries, will ensure a robust and sustainable supply of ammunition in peace, crisis and war," said Defence Minister Pål Jonson (M) in a press release.

The money will provide government co-financing when the companies Eurenco Bofors, Sweden Ballistics, Norma Precision, Nammo Sweden and Junghans Microtec apply for EU funds for investments in greater production capacity in the area.

This involves increased production of propellant charges and fuses for the Archer artillery system, small-calibre ammunition and explosives.
