President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes for a monthly purchase of weapons for $ 1 billion, paying special attention to Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems. Kyiv is betting on a rapidly developing national defense industry. The drones are already put on the stream, now more powerful weapons are being developed. In August, Ukraine announced the start of production of the first winged rocket for a long range. It is about FP-5 Flamingo from the British company Fire Point.
Experts say that the farm weapons will be a powerful restraining factor for the Kremlin. "Mass shock weapons, such as Flamingo, will be the most reliable guarantee of Ukraine's security in post -war European order," said Fabian Hoffmann, an arms expert at Oslo University. European countries can be difficult to maintain the required level of financing of Ukraine's needs. The Armed Forces for its part is not easy to solve the problem of lack of personnel.
Obviously, even if the Ukrainian army increases in quantity, it will never compare this indicator with Russian. Because of this, Kyiv considers the production of modern weapons a necessary condition for long -term survival. "When we have hundreds of ballistic missiles that can impress goals in Moscow, it will be a completely different game," - said Maxim Skripchenko, President of the Transatlantic Dialogue Center, Research Group in Kiev.
