PRAGUE/WARSAW—Eastern Europe’s arms industry is churning out guns, artillery shells, and other military supplies at a pace not seen since the Cold War as governments in the region lead efforts to aid Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

Allies have been supplying Kyiv with weapons and military equipment since Russia invaded its neighbor on Feb. 24, depleting their own inventories along the way.
