The war in Ukraine has seen arms manufacturers across Europe ramp up production to help supply Kyiv with weapons and munitions. But the continent is also now embarking on a massive rearmament drive of its own and key to achieving that will be the capacity of factories such as the Forges de Tarbes in southwestern France, to ramp up production. On the verge of going into liquidation just a few years ago, the factory is now churning out 60,000 shells a year, a figure it hopes to double in the near future – providing it can find the manpower to do so.#Ukraine #Europe #weapons
