Report: General Dynamics Selects Mesquite Industrial Park for New Artillery Casings Plant

Ukraine is firing up to 7,000 rounds of artillery daily in its war with Russia. The U.S. and Ukraine's other allies are at pains to keep up with the demand, as they see their own stockpiles dwindling. Weapons like BAE System's M777 Ultra Lightweight Howitzer (above) are powerless without artillery rounds. Now General Dynamics aims to help shore up the U.S. Defense Department's supply—by opening a new artillery casings plant in a Mesquite industrial park, according to the Dallas Morning News.
