The United Kingdom has signed contracts with two companies for the production of artillery barrels for Ukraine.
According to Defence Equipment & Support, part of the UK's Ministry of Defence, a £61 million contract has been awarded to BAE Systems and Sheffield Forgemasters.
The artillery barrels for Ukraine's needs will be produced in Yorkshire.
"In addition and on behalf of the International Fund for Ukraine, we will send Gravehawk, a UK designed air defence system, to their front line," the statement reads.
Sheffield Forgemasters is capable of producing the largest and most technically complex cast and forged steel components in the world.
This includes 155mm self-propelled artillery systems (AS-90) and towed 105mm howitzers (L119).
