Without the help of the event. As an increase in weapons production in Ukraine will change the schedules on the front
According to the Head of State, Ukraine is able to produce guns, shells, drones, missiles and armored vehicles. "Ukraine can. Financing is. Our" defense "will give more results," Zelensky said. In early July this year, the Minister of Strategic Industry of Ukraine Oleksandr Kamyshyn in an interview with Bloomberg spoke about plans to increase weapons production. "My goal is to make Ukraine arsenal [weapons] of the free world. We must be ambitious, because we have no choice," he said.
According to Kamyshyn, defense plants began with an increase in the production of artillery and mortar shells, as they are needed by soldiers on the battlefield. "Ukrainian anti-tank complexes" Stugna-P "began to go out of the conveyors faster. The increase in the production of tanks and armored vehicles will be the next priority, it takes from three to six months," the minister explained.
Bloomberg writes that the largest weapons manufacturers in Europe are the German concern Rheinmetall AG and the British Bae Systems Plc are negotiating to create production facilities in Ukraine. RheinMetall bought 51% of shares of a joint venture for tanks repair. Restoration of ammunition and arms reserves into the hot phase of war is unable to pull out one country, says a military expert, Colonel of the Armed Forces in the stock Roman Svitan.
"For fighting ammunition, they accumulate 10-15 years. If we take Russia, they produce 5-7 thousand shells a day and used up to 60 thousand a day. As if production would not be launched, Ukraine one will not be able to restore the losses of shells. War with Russia, we will be tied to our partners, "he explained the focus. The smallest opportunity to produce shells should be used immediately to replenish the losses faster.
The country's resource opportunity to produce ammunition is fundamental in offensive, Svitan added. According to the expert, the Ukrainian MIC is capable of producing mines, missiles, UAVs and military equipment of any level: APC, BMP, tanks, self-propelled arts. Plants can also adjust the outlets of the Neptune mobile missile system with anti-ship missiles and a multifunctional operative-tactical missile complex "Sapsan".
Aviation and ships under the strokes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not be able to produce, said the Colonel of the Armed Forces. According to the director of the Army Research Center, Valentine Badrak's Army Research, Ukraine can significantly increase weapons production and even get closer to the top ten world players. "This requires a systematic approach, as in the case of Turkey or Israel.
In the same South Korea, the order portfolio of orders per year is already $ 17 billion, it is still an unbearable amount for us," the expert said in an interview with UNIAN. Kyiv needs to use cooperation with world arms players: Bae Systems, Rheinmetall, American Giant Lockheed Martin and others. You can also count on the joint creation of air defense. "There are prospects for joint work in the projects of creating and production of KF51 Panther and BMP Lynx KF41 from Rheinmetall.
