Ukraine made a big deal, and the arms business was booming, but it turned out to overtake Russia!Regret not handing over the strategy at the beginning**!
Ukraine is making big news this time!Their arms business has gone crazy, and the defense industry has risen from its silence in an instant, with artillery, missiles, everything, showing off their achievements. ** Zelensky was also enthusiastic, presented awards to defense enterprises, cheered and encouraged, and felt that his country's military strength was booming.
But wait, it's not a smooth story. On December 27, Zelensky broke the news in his speech that Ukraine's defense industry has a labor force of 300,000, calling it one of the country's greatest achievements in years. There are private enterprises, there are state-owned enterprises, and there is a prosperous scene. Zelensky said with enthusiasm that Ukraine's defense industry is recovering, becoming more modern and technologically driven. Doesn't that sound exciting?
He also revealed that Ukraine and the West have cooperated, especially signed a cooperation agreement with the United States, and it is expected that the production volume will be higher next year, which is great news for Ukraine. After all, in the context of the slowdown in Western military aid, this cooperation is very critical for them.
However, herein lies the problem, although the Ukrainian arms are huge, there is a problem with the artillery **. Lieutenant Colonel Yuriy Ignat, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, broke the news that they once trusted Russia and handed over 400 missiles, strategic bombers and nuclear warheads to each other. The result?They took these things and bombarded Ukraine fiercely. Now Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Ignat is shouting, who would dare to invade Ukraine if there are still those ** in their hands?This shows how deeply regrettable past decisions were.
Ukraine now has more than 250 military-industrial enterprises, which is quite strong, but this potential has not yet been fully unleashed. According to the news, the "Ukrainian front" broke out that the Pentagon has just announced the latest batch of military aid packages to Ukraine, worth up to 2$500 million, mainly for all types of ammunition and spare parts. However, in the absence of a $61 billion aid package by the US Congress, this military aid is clearly insufficient.
British expert Jack Watling also chimed in, saying that Russia produces more artillery shells than the whole of NATO. He singled out the problem, if Ukraine lacks ammunition, then sooner or later Russia will regain the initiative on the battlefield. Watling is right, now Ukraine can only fire 2,000 shells a day, while Russia can easily fire 10,000 shells. This is not a small amount, but it is simply worse.
What's even more dramatic is that in the summer**, Ukraine fired 7,000 shells per day, and through various means, it successfully reduced the Russian army's shell consumption to about 5,000 shells per day. But now, Ukraine is in a predicament of artillery shells**, which can only fire 2,000 rounds per day, while the Russian army can fire 10,000 rounds. The contrast is almost a rollercoaster ride that is ironic.
Some netizens commented on social ** and expressed their concern. Someone joked: "Is this the legendary 'preemptive voice'?"Just having dazzling military production capacity, but not a decent shell, is simply a paper tiger. "There are also people who express concern about Ukraine, believing that they need more support, otherwise if this continues, Russia may really regain the initiative in the future.
In fact, the Ukrainian problem is not just plagued by shells, and the deeper cause may be their poor relationship with Russian history. In the past, the decision to cooperate and provide the best to Russia has now become a big problem for itself. This can't help but make people reflect that it is a complex game, which not only depends on the amount of ammunition, but also requires wise strategic decisions.
This Pentagon's military aid is good news, but looking at the amount, it's only 2$500 million, compared to the $61 billion aid package, is really unsatisfactory. What's more, this is only a temporary solution, and what Ukraine needs is lasting support, especially on the urgent issue of ammunition.
In general, this predicament in Ukraine is not just an individual incident, but also a big test of *** and strategic decision-making. On a battlefield full of artillery fire, the quality and quantity of munitions are of course important, but what is more important is the country's overall strength and foreign cooperation. We hope that Ukraine can learn from this predicament and embrace a more substantial national defense and a stable national defense, and we also hope that China can maintain a firm position in international affairs and contribute more to maintaining regional peace and stability.
