01.02.2024

The support of the USA and the other European countries is crucial for Ukraine, both in terms of military aid and financial support, so that Ukraine is able to continue investing in its own military-industrial complex.
It was reported in the interview of ABC News by Vladyslav Belbas, CEO of LLC “Ukrainian armor”
He emphasized the importance of developing Ukraine’s own military complex and production of weapons and other military equipment.

“Additional advantage of producing military equipment in Ukraine is that its service and technical maintenance can be performed near the front line, which is not the case with some military equipment supplied from the West”, – says Belbas.

Also Belbas noted that recently russia has been attacking Ukrainian enterprises of the military-industrial complex more frequently. “It means that they consider Ukrainian military industry as a big threat for them”, – states the CEO of Ukrainian Armor.

Ukrainian armor currently produces nearly 20 000 mortar shells and nearly 100 mortars of various calibers per month, as well as several modifications of APC “Novator”.
