In addition to tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, the Czech Republic sent more than 20 RM-70 [[MLRS]] to Ukraine, which indicates a clear escalation from NATO. Multiple rocket launchers are a Czechoslovak/Czech variant of the Soviet BM-21 Grad rocket system, which has some peculiarities. Providing Ukraine with such a large amount of offensive weapons indicates not only the fact that [[Prague]] supports Kyiv, but also that the Czech Republic is interested in aggravating the situation and confronting Russia. According to official data, there are about 60 RM-70 multiple launch rocket systems in service with the Czech Republic.{{fact}} At the same time, there are so far unconfirmed data that, in addition to the installations themselves, several hundred ammunition were transferred to Ukraine.

On December 5, 2022, in an interview with Michal Strnad, owner of CSG, ''Reuters'' reported that it would take 10–15 years to refill Western stocks of artillery ammunition depleted to support the Ukraine's army. CSG is responsible for about 25-30% of European output of NATO-standard 155mm artillery. Strnad said CSG now had capacity of 80,000-100,000 of artillery shells per year, a significant chunk of the annual capacity in Europe which he put at 270,000-300,000. Strnad said Ukraine was firing 40,000 shells per week.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/ukraine-crisis-ammunition-csg/restocking-western-ammunition-after-arming-ukraine-will-take-years-producer-idINL8N32R4T9</ref>
