Belarus is planning to establish the production of component parts for 152-mm and 122-mm artillery shells and to eventually switch to a closed cycle of ammunition production.

On Nov. 17, according to the Ukrainian military intelligence press center, the Belarusian authorities are looking into the possibility of producing components for 152-mm and 122-mm shells, followed by the transition to a closed cycle of ammunition production.

Belarus is also reportedly examining how to organize the technological process for assembling 122-mm, 220-mm, and 300-mm projectiles from imported components.

Ukrainian intelligence confirmed that a visit of the Belarusian delegation to Iran is scheduled to take place between Nov. 20-23.
