"The IFU was established by nine countries, including Australia, Denmark, Great Britain, Iceland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Earlier, the Netherlands contributed €125 million to the fund. The purchase of the 152mm shells will be partially funded from this amount," reported the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands.
