新华社伦敦10月22日电（记者赵家淞）英国国防部22日发布声明说，英国时隔20年恢复在本土生产大口径火炮炮管，位于英格兰中部特尔福德的生产车间已正式投产。 这一生产车间由德国军工企业莱茵金属旗下的英国公司运营，主要生产120毫米和155毫米口径武器系统所需的炮管及炮闩等部件，相关产品将用于RCH-155型自行榴弹炮及未来其他火炮平台。 英国国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷当天在该车间启用仪式上说：“英国已重新开始制造武装部队所需的武器，以抵御对手、保卫国家。”他还表示，该项目将创造100个高技能制造业就业岗位。 英国国防部说，莱茵金属英国公司于2025年秋季接手该项目。该项目是英德两国防务工业合作的一部分。双方于2024年10月签署《三位一体防御协议》，旨在加强双边防务合作，提升北约集体威慑能力。 根据英国国防部公布的信息，英国政府已承诺在四年内投入2980亿英镑（约3988亿美元）用于国防建设，并希望通过扩大国防开支推动国内制造业发展和经济增长。
