war factories
Arsenal production sites
War factories are industrial facilities that produce military equipment, weapons, ammunition, and supplies during wartime.
The term evokes images of massive World War II–era plants where civilians—often women—assembled tanks, planes, and munitions around the clock.
The bombers targeted enemy war factories.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for any operation churning out material at wartime intensity.
