... and I suspect we'll need that production in a few years ourselves.
Glad my son will have fresh barrels to hand for his battalion.

The United Kingdom has confirmed that one of its Royal Navy nuclear-powered submarines surfaced close to the Yantar, a notorious Russian spy ship late last year, to make it clear it was being observed. The revelation came as the Royal Navy was once again closely tracking the Russian ship after it returned to British waters. According to the U.K. defense secretary, the Yantar has, in recent months, been "mapping the U.K.'s critical underwater infrastructure," at a time when NATO, in general, is increasingly concerned about apparent sabotage to undersea cables.
The Yantar was sailing in British waters in November last year, during which time U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey said it had been "detected loitering over U.K. critical undersea infrastructure."
Interestingly, Healey disclosed that a Royal Navy submarine was among the assets tasked with shadowing the Yantar when it was in British waters back in November. The defense secretary said that warships and patrol aircraft were also involved in tracking the Russian vessel.
At one point, the submarine surfaced close to the Yantar "to make clear that we had been covertly monitoring its every move," he said.
The submarine wasn't named but will have been one of the five currently active Astute class attack submarines.
The Russian vessel then moved into Irish waters east of Dublin, sparking worries that it might be conducting espionage on critical energy and internet submarine pipelines and cables running between the United Kingdom and Ireland. The spy ship was later escorted out of the Irish Sea.

North Korea plans to deliver at least 150 KN-23 short-range ballistic missiles, additional artillery shells, and weapons systems to Russia in 2025, according to Kirill Budanov, the head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR).
"Artillery is being used to support both North Korean and Russian operations, while the missiles are intended solely for Russian objectives," Budanov told The War Zone in an interview, detailing the scale of the planned arms transfer.
Budanov disclosed that North Korea has already supplied Russia with approximately 120 M1989 "Koksan" self-propelled howitzers (170mm) and 120 M-1991 multiple rocket launchers (240mm) over the past three months. He added that a similar volume of artillery systems could be expected in the near future.
Additionally, North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles—modeled after the Russian Iskander missile and capable of carrying either conventional or nuclear payloads—are already being used by Russian forces.
"Most of this weaponry is being employed against Ukrainian forces or for training exercises in Russia," Budanov explained.
