"Balm from Declary": The media found out how ammunition for the Armed Forces rescued the US economy

Production of shells for Ukraine is a real gift of the US military-industrial complex. More than 200 jobs have been opened at Skrenton in the city of Skrenton, the newspaper The Washington Post said. The production of artillery shells for the Army of Ukraine has become a real gift for the US Armed Industry. General Dynamics contractor has opened more than 200 jobs at a factory in Skrenton in North-Eastern Pennsylvania, where 155 mm shells are produced, writes The Washington Post.

In total, after the start of a full -scale invasion of the US Army, the United States allocated $ 175 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. At the same time, most of the money is left in the states: military plants receive stable orders. The Gentex military contractor has increased the staff by 10% in the neighboring Carbundale.

The German glass company SCHOTT, which produces high -tech optical products for civilian and military needs in the city of Duria, has opened dozens of new work positions over the past five years. The ammunition produced in the screenton is sent to Iowa, where they are equipped with explosives and detonators before delivery to Ukraine or NATO allies. Such a prosperous business helps to overcome the economic downturn.

Decades after the closure of coal mines and textile factories, the unemployment rate in the screenton was at least 2% higher than the average average, Satyagit Gosh, an economist at the University of Screenton, said. After the start of the war in Ukraine, unemployment rate became often higher than national. "For US President, Joe Baiden, who lived in screen for up to 10 years, defense production is a good for Ukraine and a balm from economic decline," the journalists emphasize.
