Building Canada's
Arsenal
Canada's first fully integrated 155mm artillery shell manufacturing facility. Sovereign capability for a stronger NATO alliance.
The NATO Ammunition Crisis
Russia produces 250,000 artillery rounds per month — four times more than the entire NATO alliance combined. This industrial asymmetry represents the most significant conventional military imbalance in decades.
Ukraine consumes over 7,000 rounds per day to defend its sovereignty. Current Western production capacity cannot sustain this demand, let alone replenish depleted allied stockpiles.
Canada currently has zero capability to produce the NATO-standard M795 155mm round. The nation's military reserves would last only days at combat consumption rates — a vulnerability that demands immediate action.
The global ammunition shortfall is not a temporary crisis. It is a structural deficit that will persist through the decade without decisive industrial investment.
