Sellier & Bellot and Ukroboronprom have agreed to collaborate on the production of various types of small caliber ammunition within Ukraine. This partnership aims to enhance the local production capacity and ensure a steady supply of essential ammunition for Ukraine's defense forces.

In addition to this, Česká zbrojovka (CZ), building on an Agreement of Intent with Ukroboronprom signed in February, has now cemented a transfer of technology contract. This agreement will enable the production of CZ BREN 2 assault rifles in Ukraine, a move that underscores the deepening defense ties between the two countries.

The production of assault rifles by Česká zbrojovka is a critical component of this collaboration. As one of the leading manufacturers of firearms, CZ's commitment to transferring technology and setting up production lines in Ukraine will significantly boost the country's self-sufficiency in defense manufacturing. This initiative will create jobs, foster local expertise, and ensure a reliable supply of modern weaponry for Ukraine's armed forces.

The CZ BREN 2 rifle, which will be produced under this new agreement, is a modern, modular assault rifle renowned for its reliability, versatility, and performance in various conditions. It is used by numerous armed forces around the world and is highly regarded for its adaptability to different calibers and configurations. The production of the CZ BREN 2 in Ukraine will provide the Ukrainian military with a state-of-the-art weapon system, enhancing their operational capabilities in the face of ongoing security challenges.

The CZ BREN 2 is a cutting-edge assault rifle designed with modern combat requirements in mind. Its main technical features include a lightweight and durable aluminum upper receiver, a polymer lower receiver, and a modular design that allows for easy customization and maintenance. The rifle is chambered for multiple calibers, including 5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x39mm, offering versatility for different operational needs. It features a short-stroke gas piston system, which ensures reliable operation in diverse environments and reduces recoil for improved accuracy. The CZ BREN 2 also boasts an adjustable folding stock, ambidextrous controls, and multiple Picatinny rails for mounting various accessories, making it a highly adaptable and user-friendly weapon for modern armed forces.

These agreements reflect the commitment of both the Czech Republic and Ukraine to enhance their defense cooperation and support Ukraine's defense industry amidst ongoing regional security challenges. The collaborations are expected to not only fortify Ukraine's military capabilities but also stimulate economic growth through the development of local production facilities.
