Battle of Military Technologies: How Ukraine Win Russia and Why does the state not evaluate it

In this war, Ukraine has a technological advantage over Russia, and it is recognized by third -party analysts. But, as the politician and diplomat Volodymyr Omelyan notes, these advanced developments most often fall into the army without the participation of a state that could scale them, but for some reason does not do it . . . The US defense council has published an analysis of Ukrainian capabilities for the development of technological potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The document is located on the official website of Defense Innovation Board. According to representatives of the Advisory Council, which works in the interests of the US Defense Department, the latest successes of Ukraine on the battlefield were largely supported by the technological advantage over the enemy, which was gained by integration into the army of easily accessible commercial technologies and their rapid development.

At the heart of the rapid increase in the technological potential of the Ukrainian defense forces is currently a model of direct interaction between programmers, engineers, project managers and military personnel on the front line. This interaction is supported by volunteers and startups and is funded by private sources.

However, this grassroots approach, although effective due to the lack of state control and bureaucratic red tape, remains poorly adapted to the scale at the state level and interaction with foreign partners. According to analysts, the main manager of development of Ukrainian technological potential should be the state. Unfortunately, the Government of Ukraine does not profess a consistent approach to the rapid development of opportunities.

In particular, the Council indicates the lack of departmental coordination between developers and the military, the inability of the authorities to properly form and bring the requirements and requests of the military to industry or foreign partners. All these 2. 5 years of the war I sincerely understand why none of what is widely used by the Armed Forces, the Government of Ukraine could not launch into mass production.

That every time the soldier, getting "something", did not break his head, how it works, what the lesion will be and at what distance. By the way, this applies not only to weapons, but also in the war: from cars and armor to sapper blades, wheels and shapes. You can endlessly nod west why we are not in NATO and where the F-16, but it is no longer possible to hide the fact of lack of mass production in the Ukrainian industry with extremely necessary things for the front.
