Representatives of NATO and the EU will hold a meeting on maintaining the supply of weapons to Ukraine in the changed conditions

On September 28, the heads of the structures responsible for armaments of the United States and the countries of NATO and the EU will meet in Brussels to discuss an important issue for the West - how to maintain supplies in the current situation weapons to Ukraine. The meeting will be chaired by US Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Supply Bill LaPlante and will be attended by more than 40 members of the Ukrainian Defense Contact Group.

During the meeting, it is planned to discuss another very important issue - how to maintain the production of weapons in the face of existing economic restrictions. After all, the energy crisis has an impact not only on the civil goods industry, but also on the military industry. It is also planned to discuss the replacement of obsolete parts and microchips.

The meeting will also discuss issues of a long-term strategy for maintaining Ukrainian weapons and equipment in good condition. We are talking about air defense systems, long-range artillery, for the maintenance of which a certain technical base is required.

Now European governments are concerned about the situation in the military industry in the context of both the energy crisis and the ongoing supply of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine. For example, Norwegian Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gram said that Oslo is considering the possibility of reducing its own stockpiles of weapons in order to support Ukraine.

According to the head of the Norwegian military department, such a strategy in the short term is the key to increasing the supply of new weapons for the Norwegian army in the future. It can be assumed that the military leaders of other European countries also argue in a similar way. But will their expectations come true, given the upcoming winter and the intensification of Russia's military efforts after the referendums?

The owl put her ear to Pinocchio's chest.
“The patient is more dead than alive,” she whispered, and turned her head back one hundred and eighty degrees.
The toad kneaded Pinocchio with a wet paw for a long time. Thinking, she looked around with bulging eyes. Splashed with a big mouth:
The patient is more alive than dead...
People’s healer Praying Mantis with dry, like grass, hands began to touch Pinocchio.
“One of two things,” he whispered, “either the patient is alive or he is dead. If he is alive, he will remain alive or he will not remain alive. If he is dead, he can be revived or not revived.
("The Golden Key" by A.N. Tolstoy)

After the Russian Federation announced the mobilization, the fate of Ukraine became known. The patient is definitely dead. Why would a dead man need a weapon on credit? To get shot?

. The question is ... will they supply the saloreich, raking out all the stocks from their warehouses, and then they will make up for the lost by expanding the production of weapons of their military-industrial complex ???

Perhaps yes, but only those who have better energy. The rest will get hooked on deliveries even more than they are sitting now.

[rocket757]

So yes, the problem of a rise in the price of energy and other resources will certainly affect the prices of manufactured products!
How it will be solved, in these difficult, in all respects, times, it will be interesting to look at it!

[bk316]

I can say about the Germans.
They are already stopping the steel foundry, we have blast furnaces or open-hearth furnaces in the EU for a long time on electricity. At such prices for electricity, the armor will be like gold.
But for the military-industrial complex they will still launch factories, it’s just that their tanks will be not 5, but 25 times more expensive than ours.

[rocket757]

The question is ... and who will have enough "gold reserves" to buy "gold" tanks ???

[bk316]

They will simply print money. Prices for everything will go up. Those who are dissatisfied will be imprisoned, the media will be silenced. This process is already underway. A wonderful new world.

[rocket757]

The obvious scenario...
And sho, dermocracy should be able to defend itself!!!
How are they worse/better than others?
Although, those others who defend themselves, they will stigmatize, stigmatize and further down the list ... they are still those entertainers!

[Gaschey]

Everything depends on money, the West has accumulated a certain surplus. Now they are pouring money into the production of weapons. At the end, they hope to pour money into the restoration of the surviving territories, at the same time raking them up for themselves. Marshall's new plan.

[rocket757]

There is no "extra" money at all ... it should not be, theoretically.
A balance must be maintained ... but who knows how their system works, because there is an imbalance and not a small one.
Let's not guess, everything will be visible ... obvious and what they will be forced to show ...
Now, even, there is no way to refer to expert opinions, they are painfully different.
Time will put everything in its place.

Quote from Gaschey

New Marshall Plan.

This "Marshall Plan" was financed from the gold reserves of Nazi Germany.
By the way, after the division into sectors, the Americans drove into the USSR sector and raked out funds "for the plan" from there too.

Quote from Gaschey

At the end, they hope to pour into the restoration of the surviving territories, simultaneously raking them under themselves. Marshall's new plan.

I read from Nezygar that already 16 large German companies are moving to the USA, due to the fact that energy is 8 times cheaper there. That's where the brains go. And from Germany and the EU in general they will make the second, third, fourth .... Ukraine

"It is also planned to discuss the replacement of obsolete parts and microchips...."
******************************************************* ************************** And this is especially touching ...

Those. the issue of replacing "obsolete" parts and components of IEP, in principle, relating to a SPECIFIC sample (s) of weapons and military equipment (products) (s), will be "decided" by non-designers (with an appropriate assessment of the potential impact of such "replacements" on performance characteristics and operational characteristics of the ENTIRE sample of weapons and military equipment IN GENERAL), and "managers" ...

Like, - "here is a new chip", they will "replace the outdated one" ...

Maybe it is more logical to raise the question of the development of NEW products, on new components? ..

It seems like, in the same Soviet S-300s, the "replacement" of "transistor" blocks with "microcircuit" ones, at one time, happened just like that. WITH SUBSEQUENT VERY SOLID AND LONG TESTS...

[Rustic]

Like, - "here is a new chip", they will "replace the outdated one" ...

If so, and at least managers. And that will be even worse. Politician - we will replace some kind of chip with another one that is racially correct, American, and therefore exceptional and the best in the world. Well, like blah blah. And about TTX? No, have not heard.

[yuriy55]

But will their expectations come true, given the upcoming winter and the intensification of Russia's military efforts after the referendums?

Zelensky should not run the country and walk around with European sponsors without warning. Any of his appearance anywhere in Ukraine must be subjected to missile strikes...

[Ivan Ivanov]

The people have already erased their fingers to write - why is the infrastructure intact? Why did they stop hitting energy? Who else needs to be fired to get it right up there? Who / where is a violation of the patency of sound thought?

Come on, take off your last panties and give it to the Khokhliki.

Someone asked me to substantiate the position that the EU is an aggressive bloc. Here's your rationale. Von der Leyen said five times in one speech that the EU is at war with Russia. About Borrell of our Josep, I generally keep quiet. The EU is a committee for the colonization of Russia and Eastern Europe.

So, what conditions have changed then?

[TIR]

Military equipment is metal. And the metal is expensive and complex. Complex technology with several cycles of heating-hardening-adding everything. And this is a huge waste of energy. And with this, right now, Europe is tight, so in the EU, metallurgy is sausage very hard. They are not up to increasing production, they would like to keep the enterprises. It's also good that we supply them with gas. So the poor fellows would be completely bent and their military-industrial complex would stand up

[TIR]

Let them not worry about energy resources for the military-industrial complex. Our Gazprom and the Poles will even supply gas
