"Ukroboronprom": total sale
Something that many people knew a long time ago happened, but they spoke only in a narrow circle. Ukraine is actively seeking sponsors for the revival of its defense industry. Moreover, Kiev is ready to completely “give up” production to sponsors in exchange for investments.
In principle, the Ukrainian defense industry is capable of producing almost the entire range of weapons. More precisely, she was capable. This is what pushes Ukraine today into the hands of sponsors. If there are enough qualified personnel, enterprises that previously produced weapons and military equipment, Ukraine today cannot do this.
The past quarter century for the defense industry of Ukraine were the years of "solemn burial" of everything achieved during the Soviet period. Plants "kept" to a greater extent on Russian orders. But this situation was largely not beneficial to Ukraine.
At the end of Boris Yeltsin’s rule, Russia faced about the same situation. The United States suddenly became concerned with the defense industry of our country. Moreover, negotiations were conducted at various levels. And the money offered was huge. But Russian politicians have the sense to reject a tempting offer. Why?
The fact is that the main condition of the transaction was the production of components. In another language, Russia lost the right to produce the final product. Imagine that everything necessary for production was produced at Russian factories tankbut the tank itself is going to another country. And the right to this tank, respectively, also gets this country.
Thus, the United States received the arms market in almost sole ownership. Russia was simply removed from the market. And cleaned with our own hands.
What are components? Parts and assemblies, nothing more. Like a grenade without a fuse. It seems and terrible weaponbut almost useless in real combat.
Exactly the same negotiations have been going on since the beginning of the 21 century with Ukraine. Conducted with varying degrees of intensity. Why was the media silent about this? Yes, everything is simple. While the Ukrainian factories were busy fulfilling our orders, Kiev did not have a special need to meet the Americans. Why cut the goose that laid the golden eggs?
But after the last Maidan, the situation has changed. For the sake of political goals, Kiev chose to break military-technical cooperation with Russia. The result is pitiable. It turned out that what the Ukrainians, once deservedly, proud of, today is simply outdated factories and production. Moreover, they are so outdated that, instead of modernization, they require almost complete replacement of machines and equipment. Otherwise, it’s a shame to speak about the quality that is needed today.
Poroshenko and the company understood perfectly what had happened. But to return everything to its original position was no longer possible. Russia took up import substitution. Especially in the field of defense. Do you remember the victorious reports of the Ukrainian media about stopping the construction of ships due to the lack of Ukrainian engines, about delays in the release of training aircraft and other things?
However, already in 2016, Russian analogues of Ukrainian products appeared. And where such an analogue has to wait for some time, aggregates from other countries have appeared. But not Ukraine.
The Americans continued to negotiate, not too rushing things. What for? The situation created in Ukraine plays into their hands. The state is falling apart. The economy is in deep crisis. So, after a while Kiev will not only go for all the proposed conditions. Moreover, he himself will offer this option.
We have often heard about the adequacy of Western politicians. The West and the United States do not give Ukraine lethal weapons because they understand that they will be used to kill the Ukrainians themselves. Well, the rest of the performances are about the same style.
And almost no one had a simple question: "And with what kind of reload did the West attend to the lives of Ukrainians?" Why the murder of the old Soviet weapons did not trouble Europe and America, but did modern weapons trouble? Universal answer: modern weapons are more efficient, which means more people will die.
I agree. But, modern weapons offer tremendous advantages to one of the parties. Syria is a great show. The war in the style of the Second World War is no longer relevant for developed countries. Today, it is not at all necessary to throw soldiers into a bayonet attack. It is enough to use modern weapons. Without direct contact of armies.
Forgot the main principle of any Western policy? Nothing personal, just business! And Western business no longer wanted a market. Western business wanted the remaining Ukrainian potential and technology. It is in the defense industry. The politicians simply fulfilled the order.
Now, when the Kiev authorities realized that the country was on the verge, the time had come when the Ukrainian defense complex could be “taken with bare hands”. Now Kiev is ready to give everything for the sake of power. Give with gratitude. This is what the Ambassador of Ukraine to the USA Valery Chaly announced.
In the broadcast channel "112 Ukraine", he stated that it is extremely desirable for Ukraine to organize the joint production of lethal weapons on Ukrainian territory. Moreover, Chaly hopes for the consent of Washington.
“I know that the issue of providing lethal weapons is a sensitive issue. And in truth, it’s not the supplies themselves that are important, but the signal ... This is my idea, which has a chance to be implemented, to produce weapons in cooperation with the Americans on Ukrainian territory, - this is how Mr. Chaly explained his position on the TV channel. "
With a certain degree of confidence, the head of the Ukrainian diplomatic mission noted that in America after his statement, they would “give a signal” to provide Ukraine with a “lethal weapon”.
