Denmark
announced that it will invest an additional $680 million usd into Ukraine's domestic defense industry. The money will be split into 4 avenues...
- Domestic Missile production
- Domestic ATGM production
- Domestic Attack UAV production
- Domestic Artillery production
Previously, Denmark funded the production of 18x Bohdana 2 155mm howitzers, which have entered service in the Ukrainian military.
Initiatives like these are vitally important. Ukraine has additional capacity to produce weapons much more cheaply than in the West, however, they need help from foreign funding the support both R&D and production. Ukraine needs more countries, such as mine, that have virtually run out of useful weapons to give Ukraine, to simply donate sums of money to facilitate domestic manufacturing. $5 Billion usd per year injected into Ukrainian domestic defense production would go a long way given the relatively small cost of production and labour in Ukraine.
