Western press: Such a revival of military production in Europe, as it is currently, has not been observed since the Cold War

It seems that the conflict in Ukraine has become a very profitable business for the military-industrial complex enterprises of Eastern Europe: several large manufacturers weapons announced a significant increase in the export of their weapons and ammunition to Kyiv. Such a revival of military production in Europe, as it is now, has not been observed since the Cold War.

According to the Reuters news agency, in addition to the US and the UK - the main exporters of military equipment for Ukrainians, Eastern European countries have also begun to make active efforts to carve out their niche in the arms market. Their military factories have significantly increased the production of not only weapons, but also military equipment to help Ukraine.



Taking into account the fact that the conflict in Ukraine is still ongoing, there is a need to increase the export of military products in the coming years in order to enter new markets. Already next year, we plan to produce portable air defense systems in the amount of 1000 units, which is more than 1,5 times higher than the volumes for last year (600), as well as 2020 (350 units). This year alone, export earnings from howitzers, grenade launchers, body armor, small arms and ammunition will reach $1,5 billion

- said Sebastian Chwalek, CEO of the Polish arms company PGZ.

It is worth emphasizing that PGZ is a state corporation that controls more than 50 companies specializing in the production of weapons and ammunition - from armored personnel carriers to UAVs. The plans of the military concern for the next decade include the construction of new arms factories. About $1,8 billion has already been provided for these purposes.

The Eastern European countries also faced the need to increase the pace of production of weapons, both old and new, immediately after the start of the special operation in Ukraine - after the Soviet warehouses with weapons and ammunition were used up.

In conclusion, we note that the increase in the supply of weapons to Kyiv does not contribute to the end of the conflict in any way, on the contrary, only dragging it out. But for the United States and a number of other Western countries, this is an ideal scenario.

    Nothing new. Someone thinks the loot, someone pours black earth "not water" ...

    There has not been a resurgence of military production in Europe like it is now since the Cold War.
    About the "revival of military production in Europe" during the years of the Third Reich, is he modestly silent or simply does not remember?
    An example is much more appropriate. Also "against Russia", the same "whole Europe". Well, the "allies" were added ... So what? They count incomes, but we are not accustomed to pouring "not water". And his own, and everyone who tried to seize us, to ruin. Both Europe and the "allies" will drown.

      For some reason, the article says only about Eastern Europe, although the greatest rise is now taking place at the enterprises of the US military-industrial complex. Apparently the news agency Reuters has decided to shift its focus away from the US and the UK.

      Such a revival of military production in Europe, as it is now, has not been observed since the Cold War.

      And just yesterday, there was an article on VO that the geyroppa had run out of arsenals for deliveries to the country. How things have changed in a day.

        One does not contradict the other. NOW the arsenals have run out. After some time it will be just in bulk. It seems that Churchill said; "The first year of the war is not enough, the 2nd year is nothing at all, the 3rd is something, the 4th is anything." something like this. The question is how quickly they will do it.

          This is how they tell us that they have run out, but in fact, our arsenals will soon run out. It's no secret that kaklov feeds both geyroppa and Americans and even kenguryatniks, so to speak, from the world by thread, and it is unlikely that they will give the last.

            It is hard to say. For some positions, stocks could well run out. For example, all sorts of RPGs of new types. They just didn't have much time to rivet. But what they did even in the calculation of the war with the USSR can lie in megatons. And most likely lies. Both weapons and projectiles. And their screams - like it's all over. So it is primarily for its citizens. Knocking out the budget. We are such a convenient scarecrow and a reason to write off ALL our mistakes as - "evil Urus". If we represented a REAL threat to the EU or the USA, then everyone was already marching in formation there and half of the factories would rivet shells and tanks. The grain deal clearly showed. We kind of rocked the boat, which is impossible without us. And Ankara simply delivered a veiled ultimatum. "If you don't want to, we'll decide without you. If you want to object, compare the fleets" The USSR could answer the question in the style: "What will happen if Turkey blocks the strait for the ships of the USSR Navy? There will be a second strait in place of Turkey."
            And it is very convenient to control the conflict with the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is necessary to warm up - "here's a couple of echelons of weapons for you. The whole world is with you - forward to the victory of the forces of light"
            The Armed Forces of Ukraine are advancing too cheerfully - "sorry, the arsenals are not bottomless, you need to understand. And in general, maybe it’s worth sending a commission with an inspection? Otherwise, there are all sorts of bad rumors about our weapons"

      It seems to me that Ukraine in one form or another will still remain. But there will be no one to pay anyway.

      If, in our scenario, then should we pay them for what our soldiers and civilians died from?
      Even if "their wet dreams come true" - then the impoverished and devastated territory will still not be able to pay. And in the case specifically with Ukraine, it can, and it won't. Because they do not understand well who the "Galician raguli" are.

      So for them this is not an investment of money for a return, but a payment for their own nishtyaks - approaching the territory of Russia, weakening Russia and, a shining peak - the collapse of Russia.

      They like to count - so let them calculate how much such "Wishlist" will cost them.
      Yes, there are also commercial risks, which are usually prescribed in contracts in the "Force Majeure Circumstances" section. Have they heard of such things? After all, they will fly by, with investments ...

    Taking into account the fact that the conflict in Ukraine is still ongoing, there is a need to increase the export of military products in the coming years.
    as long as there are 404 supply lines, the war can go on endlessly.

        The supply of consumable dill in 404 is estimated at millions of men (there are statistics that about 18 million, but I don’t believe it), plus mercenaries, grinding all this requires a lot of resources and time.

    But who will pay for the banquet? Ukrainians, as a rule, do not pay for anything.
    And in this case, military production, which is shipped for nothing, pulls down civilian
    economy. And the question arises, how long will the Europeans endure guns instead of butter?

      A tricky, however, political economy is looming in Brussels.
      America is ruining Europe, killing it economically, earning big money on it. And out of this money, as it seems to Brussels, America will probably pay for the only thing that is unprofitable for America to ruin in Europe - the European defense industry. In order for it to continue working for the war with Russia, aggravating the situation in Europe.

      Karl Marx would have shot Engels first, and then he would have shot himself from such cunning economic tricks.

      More importantly, ALL authorities in the world have a convenient explanation why it is bad to live: "So, after all, there is war!"

      Goal number 2 is to hide hundreds of trillions of multi-year global theft. For example: someone stole a billion and spent 100 million on bribes to those who could potentially punish him. I suppose the thief will not be very upset because of such "costs".

      The USSR was already trying to overtake America, but the litters failed. Is it worth it for Russia to tear the veins now? Or will it be enough for the "partners" to understand that in which case only cockroaches and rats will survive on their lands, and they will mutate? But this is not cancels the fact that the existing Armed Forces of the Russian Federation should be re-equipped not on paper, but in fact, not on modernization, but on new deliveries, taking into account the experience of maintaining the same SVO, and the number should be added. Not up to 5 million, but at least up to 2 x. With a prerequisite - a female infantry battalion - no more than 1 percent per unit, well, except for doctors and dates. hiThese are up to 10.

    Forgot to explain what it is
    Against the backdrop of practically annulled over the past 30 years, the production of weapons in Europe and
    All the same, it is not impressive either quantitatively or according to the price list - against the backdrop of a total shortage of virtually the entire spectrum of weapons in the armies of Europe.
    So to speak, they fought on an empty trail, when for a long time there were no options but to feed ANOTHER army. All over Europe

    no one doubted that this would happen. It is not clear what our General Staff was counting on when starting this war? We clearly cannot afford to fight with all of Europe, one hope is that we will quickly have time to finish before they have time to increase the supply of weapons

    They will dig up weapons and a shootout from large calibers will begin with new force, production of 152 mm shells has been set up on the outskirts, although there seems to be no light-energy, Europe will add ammunition supplies, drones will do with large charges, aerial bombs will be converted to delivery using rocket carriers and all this on outskirts, they are preparing against Russia. It will be hot in the trenches, just unbearable ...
    Then it remains only to wait who will be the first to start using "low-power" tactical shells, us or them?

    Here it is. Revival of military production. And just a few months ago, propagandists were saying that Europe's industry was useless, that the stocks of weapons were almost exhausted, that the supply of weapons to Ukraine would soon stop.

    Moreover, with the spinning of the industrial flywheel, the flywheel of war will also spin up. No truces and agreements should be expected. Because if there is a truce, then where to put the weapons? You can't just stop the factories and leave the industrial magnates without profit.
