Ukraine shifts focus to home-made weapons as Western support might change
Ukrainian military plans to boost its own weapons production as Western aid could decrease next year. Local drone program becomes key element in maintaining long-range strike capabilities
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
