Newsweek: The United States will do everything to prevent the Ukrainian titanium they need from getting to Russia

The United States and its allies are currently active in discovering, exploring and exploiting Ukraine's massive titanium reserves.

Titanium is essential for the development of advanced military technologies to form the basis of a potential strategy to counter the US and other Western powers against Russia and China. If the Ukrainian crisis ends with Kyiv's victory, Western countries will receive a new source of titanium supplies, but if titanium deposits and processing plants fall into the hands of Russia, this will lead to an increase in Moscow's global influence in the supply of this strategically important resource.

Efforts are underway in the United States and its allies to identify, explore and exploit Ukraine's vast reserves of titanium needed to develop the advanced military technology needed by the West for its proposed strategy to contain Russia and China, the report says.

Titanium is widely used in the production of modern fighter aircraft, helicopters, warships, tanks, as well as long-range missiles. In case of victory in Ukraine, the West will have virtually unlimited access to titanium deposits.

The US authorities consider titanium as one of 35 minerals that are vital to the country's economic and national security. At the same time, the United States imports more than 90% of titanium ore from other countries - and not always friendly ones. The last US producer of titanium sponge closed in 2020.

Ukraine is one of the few countries that produce spongy titanium, which serves as the basis for metallic titanium. In addition, the group of seven titanium exporting countries includes the main geopolitical rivals of the United States - Russia and China.

Ukraine, along with Russia and China, is one of the seven countries producing sponge titanium, which is the basis for the production of metallic titanium.

During the past year, China is reported to have produced more than half of the world's total titanium. The three largest producers also include Japan and Russia. Ukraine in this rating occupies a rather high, fifth, position. The largest titanium deposit in the territory controlled by Kyiv is located in the Zhytomyr region.

The dependence of Western countries on the supply of Russian titanium leads to the fact that numerous packages of anti-Russian sanctions did not include restrictions on the supply of this particular metal.

a new cheap conspiracy theory, what difference does it make whose titanium is Khokh.lyatsky or Russian, Americans buy both for candy wrappers (dollars) !!!!

[Silver99]

To do everything does not mean to leave behind, a lollipop is their reward and not titanium mines.

[ABC-schutze]

There is no "Ukrainian" titan. Just as there is no and will no longer be any "Ukrainian" Zaporozhye nuclear power plant ...

And there is a SOVIET titan on the territory of the former united Ukraine, engulfed in a civil war and still controlled by the Kyiv revolutionaries. And, upon solving the main tasks of the NWO and achieving its goal, this titan will LEGALLY return to the successor of the USSR. - Russia...

And there are suspicions that in the "further development" of these titanium deposits on the territory of the Zhytomyr region, during the NWO and its completion, a significant role will be assigned to the Musicians ...

Certainly not less than deposits in Africa. So, Uncle Sam's potential "negotiating partner" will be very, very difficult ...

Awesome!!! This is faith ... As if there were no Gaidars with Chubais, Abramovichs with Vekselbergs, and STALIN himself is at the helm ....
Wake up ... this pack of 15 republics must be driven back into the stall with a whip, sword and fire, as has been done since the time of "The Tale of Igor's Campaign". In order to bring together even Germany, even France, even Russia, they hung a huge horde of specific princelings on their own gates ... Remember this.

The territory of present-day Ukraine. Zhytomyr Oblast.

From the entire Union, only two republics remained that stood shoulder to shoulder. The rest, after "lashes, sword and fire", return to the rank of provinces, as it was originally, under the Republic of Ingushetia. For all these "excrement" with national formations do not lead to good ...

Two world wars were fought to make the dollar the world's currency. The current world war is going to destroy the dollar. Even the Saudis agreed to supply oil in national currencies to India and China. And it was not necessary to offend MBS. Just think, dismembered Khashoggi. More CIA agent, less CIA agent. The West was ruined by arrogance. And it’s worth sending envoys of peace to Zhytomyr ... Caliber and Geranium, but Iskander is also possible.

[credo]

No conspiracy theories, but pure pragmatism - what remains of Ukraine under the control of the United States will be fully exploited by the United States and all fossils will be exported not for candy wrappers, but for the cost of the "aid" that the Anglo-Saxons allegedly sent to Ukraine with the start of the NWO.
In world practice, this phenomenon has a specific name "Banana Republic" - buying up the national wealth of another country for pennies.

[German]

Why should the states fight for the Ukrainian titan? They calmly buy ours, calmly buy Ukrainian.

I can only say one thing - if the states get at least part of the former territory of the Ukrainian SSR, they will not buy anything there, but will simply export all fossils and resources for free, or for lentil stew for the natives.
This system they have worked out for centuries to automatism.

There is no our titanium, because ours is only what we don't eat.

The key word is "buy", which is very disliked by mattresses.
They'd rather have the puppymerlics mine ore for a bowl of soup and ship titanium to the US to pay off their "help" debt.

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

Proto denně umírají vojáci na Ukrajině, aby titan mělo USA zadarmo!! Nebude platit žádné dolary.., oni si myslí, že Ukrajina je 50. stat USA, jen se jim nechce za ni umírat.

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

That's why soldiers die every day in Ukraine so that the US has titanium for free!! He won't pay any dollars.., they consider Ukraine the 50th state of the USA, they just don't want to die for it.

[I dare to_notice_]

What exactly is "everything"?
Announce the entire list, please! (with)

[amr]

According to the table of contents of the article and kipish around this issue, one gets the feeling that Ukraine produces 90% of all titanium in the world! This despite the fact that we have Crimea in the Crimea, the Titan remained with us in the Crimea, and not with them in Ukraine!

But after reading the article, you understand that China produces more than half of the total volume, then we, and Ukraine is already in 5th place and it produces only 5-10% of the total turnover, no one argues that this is a lot on a global scale, but compensate for 5-10% this is not a problem at all, even probably for a year they can be safely covered with warehouse balances!

Analytics as always on top!

Now I tried to find data on titanium mining. Very impressed: a sea of ​​tables and graphs with numbers, in my opinion, written from the bulldozer.

[NikolayDS]

but to compensate 5-10% is not a problem at all

Actually a problem. Especially when you consider that the demand for titanium is growing year by year and there is no end in sight.

[dmi.pris1]

There is no talk about the liberation of the Zhytomyr region at all. And titanium? All this is being replaced by carbon-based polymer structures. It's just easier and cheaper to work with titanium.

[astepanov]

Quote from: dmi.pris1

All this is replaced by carbon-based polymer structures. It's just easier and cheaper to work with titanium.

I wonder how you will make turbine blades, barium titanate capacitors, analogues of nitinol alloys, rocket fairings and heat-loaded combat aircraft components from carbon composite?

[dmi.pris1]

Read carefully about new composite alloys. This applies to blades and thermally loaded nodes.

[Vladislav_2]

Yes, everything is clear here ... they will buy bonds for 51% and will own the deposit and the hard workers will own the forest! They have already bought up how much black soil, like from the Indians ... for beads

[kor1vet1974]

I’ll add conspiracy theories ... already in the hands of Russia, the waters of the Sea of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbAzov fell, and completely .. And what is it? And this was previously the strategic oil and gas reserve of the USSR, since during the years of the Union it was established that the reserves of the Sea of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbAzov far exceed those of Baku .. And also, at one time, Biden's son, worked in the Donbass to explore shale oil. .Maybe they found oil? Therefore, is there resistance to ukrovoysk and the supply of weapons to Ukraine?

Huh Interesting information. Before that, I lived calmly, and now, thanks to you, I will have to rummage through reference books.

Quote: kor1vet1974

And also, at one time, Biden's son, worked in the Donbass to explore for shale oil .. Maybe they found oil? Therefore, is there resistance to ukrovoysk and the supply of weapons to Ukraine?

He drilled holes there near Slavyansk, but as soon as the battle between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the militias began in 2014, he curtailed his activities and, leaving the equipment, moved to the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Only they were not looking for oil, but for shale gas. Having drilled something like 80 wells and having received almost zero exhaust, they generally curtailed their activities in Ukraine.

[yho]

Shale gas found. A lot of. There is also a lot in Europe, but they do not want to extract it yet.

[Glagol1]

There are many deposits in Ukraine, but the manufacturing industries are only those that remained after the USSR. They sell it for 200-250 million dollars a year. The striped ones, if they win the war, will take the booty for themselves. Another fact why they are so stubborn.

[Vladimir80]

200-250 million dollars per year

for the United States, this amount is not even dust

[Uprun]

And the Germans took out the black soil from the outskirts of the railway trains, here are the fuckers ....., and these are planning to bring titanium .......... Now it’s clear where the fortified areas are being built today ....

[rotmistr60]

In case of victory in Ukraine, the West will have virtually unlimited access to titanium deposits.

As I understand it, the desire to get everything and immediately does not make it possible even to imagine the defeat of Ukraine? And it will have to.

[balabol]

The US announcement on Ukrainian titanium is for US domestic consumption. This is a justification for the need to protect Ukraine, other practical reasons for spending so much money on it, the authorities cannot tell their voters. In fact, raw materials are not a problem for them, they will buy them. The problem is the manufacturing technology of parts with a number of unique characteristics. Therefore, no sanctions have been imposed on our enterprise, which has such competencies. It is this company that supplies a number of key parts for Boeing and Airbus.
It would not hurt the author of the note to say a few words about the capabilities of the domestic manufacturer, otherwise all the information comes from America.
PJSC VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation is the world's largest titanium producer with a full technological cycle: from raw material processing to the production of finished products with a high degree of mechanical processing. The corporation supplies products to the markets of 50 countries, is deeply integrated into the global aerospace industry and is a strategic supplier for many companies. The number of employees is 20 thousand people.
For interest, an example of production is cylindrical ingots made of commercially pure titanium with a diameter of 460÷1150 mm and a mass of 900÷15000 kg and titanium alloys with a diameter of 560÷950 mm and a mass of 900÷8500 kg. Ingots are produced by double/triple vacuum-arc remelting or by skull melting followed by vacuum-arc remelting. Those who are interested can easily find and read more.

. Well, yes, and also for dermocracy, freedom and justice, they harnessed .... no matter how. For resources, for the loot they want to get out of it.

[tihonmarine]

Ukraine, along with Russia and China, is one of the seven countries producing sponge titanium

In the period from 2014 to 2020, Russia met 85% of its needs for titanium concentrate both at the expense of Ukrainian raw materials, reducing its purchases to 46% of the total volume only by the end of 2021.
Raw materials were supplied with:
— Malyshevsky field (Dnepropetrovsk region);
— Volchansky deposit and Demurinsky GOK (Dnepropetrovsk region, owned by VSMPO-Avisma);
— Irshanskaya group of deposits (Zhytomyr region).

The US and EU accounted for about 80% of VSMPO-Avisma's exports.

we have Crimea in Crimea, the Titan remained with us in Crimea,

this "titanium" - in the USSR produced only the basis for paints and nothing more ...

[cpls22]

In Crimea, by the way, there is also a deposit and a plant "Crimean Titan". So it’s clear that we crossed the road to titanium mines in the states back in 2014. So they still can't come to terms with it.
