Recent blows on objects in the depths of Russia have been inflicted by Ukrainian weapons - Time
The Minister of Strategic Industry of Ukraine Oleksandr Kamyshyn told reporters that the defense forces were using the development of Ukrainian plants and underground workshops. The minister noted that there was no time to test weapons at the landfill, and therefore it has to be used for the first time in combat. According to the results of use, the necessary changes are already made. Kamyshyn stated that one rocket "Stugna", for example, kills an average of three enemy soldiers. It costs $ 4613.
But the FPV-punks ratio of costs to the destruction of the enemy is about $ 1650. "You have to put as much money as possible in drones," the minister said. The material states that last year Ukraine invested about a billion dollars in its domestic program of drones, and in 2024 this figure would be more than doubled. Currently, about two hundred companies in Ukraine produce drones for the military, from startups to large objects of the Soviet era.
The publication writes that Ukraine's ability to produce its weapons in sufficient for war with the Russian Federation will be a central element of its victory strategy. However, there are a number of challenges in Kiev. It is noted that Ukraine should combine the old and worn defense industry with advanced weapons and the opportunities that its partners in the West have.
Thus, during the visits to the United States, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested American colleague Joe Biden to provide licenses for weapons production and repair. According to journalists, Washington believes that such cooperation is possible, but its implementation is problematic. Yes, Biden has the right to provide licenses without approval by Congress. However, such a decision should take place in a difficult process of reconciliation in the government.
Ukraine also needs billion dollars investments. "This war will be won at the factory," said the head of Raytheon Technologies John Ulrich he said that there was a war for exhaustion. The publication writes that the defense industry of Ukraine has hundreds of factories, but they were atrophied and suffered from the strikes of the Russian Federation. Recall that the analyst Sergey Kuzan told what consequences the strikes on the refinery in Russia will lead to.
