Ukraine's Secretive Arms Production and Drone Warfare Threaten Russian Forces

Ukrainian arms manufacturer Ukrainian Armor has stated that Russia perceives the growth of Ukraine's domestic military-industrial sector as a threat, leading to increased targeting of Ukrainian arms production sites. Ukrainian Armor has spread its production base across multiple sites to minimize potential impact from Russian attacks. The company produces mortar launchers, shells, and armored infantry fighting vehicles, with a focus on increasing domestic arms production amid delays in securing additional American military aid. Ukraine has also signed contracts with Western arms companies and joint ventures to bolster its defense industry, aiming to achieve sustainability and a qualitative edge with Western technology and expertise.
