Sounds like a good guess on who is involved in this move, the Russian Freedom League have got plenty of moxy, that is for sure.

By any measure l agree with you, l was going for what the RUs call it, yet even they must be tired of calling it anything but a disaster.

Australia will commence GMLRS AUR assembly next year, and progressively move towards production of all subcomponents.

Australia will also receive technical data on the M795 155mm artillery shell in support of localized production! Thales Australia had announced back in 2021 that would produce M795 by 2022 but this has seemingly not come to fruition, given that they are still talking about the technology transfer.

Production would likely be undertaken by Thales’ Australian Munitions subsidiary, who operate GOCOs in Benalla in Victoria and Mulwala in New South Wales on behalf of the Australian government. AM currently just produces 81mm mortar & 5 inch naval munitions in the large calibre category.

Also, Rheinmetall NIOA Munitions has been actively producing 155mm ammunition since August 2022.
