Most likely, the plant will have to stop and send people on unpaid leave.

The Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Plant (KZVV), which produces Ukrainian “Bohdan” guns , has not received any new orders since the beginning of the year. A company representative reported this in an interview with the “Oboronka” publication .

So, when asked by a journalist which versions of guns – self-propelled or towed – the state is currently ordering the most, a company representative was stunned by the statement that “the state has not ordered anything at all for 9 months.”

“If we don’t receive an order in the coming months, we will have to stop, put people on unpaid leave, etc. Even if we get a contract now, we will have to partially stop for several months, because we will only be preparing components for a new contract for half a year,” said a representative of the KZVV.

The company did not say anything about the reasons for the lack of orders. However, they noted that today more trailer versions of guns are needed on the front, since they are easier to disguise in transparent battlefield conditions.
