In Kyiv‚ officials dont wait for bad news about foreign help - they make plans to build their own weapons (which shows how quick they adapt to new situations). The military-industrial complex is working non-stop to create new strike-capabilities.
The countryʼs defense sector puts a lot of work into making long-range drones - these high-tech machines can fly hundreds of miles past the front-line. Oleksandr Kamyshin‚ who leads the strategic industries ministry says: “Weʼre getting better at making our own stuff; its not just about buying anymore“
The drone program became super-important for Ukraineʼs defense plans: these flying machines hit targets deep in enemy areas which helps slow down their opponents war-machine. Local engineers work day-and-night to design new models that can do more damage and fly further (something that makes their enemies really nervous)
The push for home-made weapons shows how Ukraine tries to be more independent - they know that having their own production lines means they dont need to depend on others so much. The focus is on making stuff that works well and costs less: thats what makes sense when you need lots of weapons fast
