With advance contracting for the next year, Ukrainian Armor can increase production at times, – Belbas

17.09.2024

With advance contracting for the next year, Ukrainian Armor can increase production by several times. This was stated by Vladyslav Belbas, Director General of Ukrainian Armor LLC, in an interview with Militarnyi.

“This year we plan to produce several hundred “Novator” vehicles, which is more than in the previous five years. This pace was achieved due to proper production planning. If I had an order for next year right now and it was comparable to what we already have, I could easily increase production by two or three times,” he says.

According to him, the cost of Ukrainian Armor’s products is cheaper than foreign counterparts, with armored vehicles being 20-30% cheaper.

He also said that the company is fully loaded with orders for 2024, but could do more.

“Everything is 100% loaded now, but this does not mean that we are doing as much as we could. If we contracted for the next year in advance, we could increase production many times over. This year we had a period when we doubled the production of armored vehicles every two months,” he said.
