According to BlockBeats, recent government documents and satellite images reveal that Russia is undertaking significant factory expansions in remote Siberia to increase the production of a powerful explosive used in artillery shells and other ammunition amid the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
Moscow's possession of more artillery shells than Ukraine has been a crucial factor in its battlefield successes during the conflict, where both sides primarily rely on artillery and drones. Three defense analysts suggest that as Ukraine and its Western allies ramp up weapon production, Russia's project is expected to enhance explosive output, potentially strengthening Moscow's firepower significantly.
