SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 24, 2023 | SaltWireBERLIN - NATO is pushing its members to overcome protectionist tendencies and agree on a single standard for artillery ammunition to boost production of urgently needed 155mm shells while driving down prices that have soared since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"If you make an artillery round that only fits in the gun that you make, then you force the users to buy your ammunition." While there is a NATO standard for artillery ammunition, its implementation is voluntary and a lack of adherence by various countries has led to a fragmentation of the market and hampered the flow of supplies.
"The number of buyers went down, the amount of money went down, and so everybody was protecting their own industry," the admiral noted, saying that, during the Cold War"everybody was getting a piece of the pie".
