Ukraine should produce everything from shells to missiles
Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov supports the development of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex and is confident that the weapons tested during the war unleashed by Russia will be highly valued in the markets in the future.
About this, he is interviewed in the framework of the telethon “Edyni Novyni”, reports Ukrinform.
“This (war – ed.) today is definitely a challenge for the Ukrainian military industry, both for the state and private sector, and an opportunity. And most importantly, everything tested in this war in Ukraine will always have the number one mark of quality in any markets. That’s why, as the children say, I fiercely support the Ukrainian Military Industry and I’m ready to do everything that depends on me for it,” said Reznikov.
The Minister is convinced that it is necessary to develop the national military industry as quickly as possible, because it is, among other things, a guarantee of Ukraine’s independence; although for now international partners are supplying weapons, and then they may stop.
“That’s why we have to do everything – from guns, shells, tanks, planes, missiles, etc.,” the leader emphasized. Ministry of Defense.
He also said that there were many examples when partners did not provide Ukraine with certain types of weapons because they were “afraid of escalation”, and after the Ukrainians used their weapons, foreign weapons of this type began to arrive. Thus, according to Reznikov, anti-ship “Harpoons” were received after the Ukrainian “Neptunes” sank the flagship of the Russian Federation “Moscow”.
“There are many such examples. That is, they start giving us something when they see that we are doing it anyway,” he added.
The minister emphasized that Ukrainian “Neptun”, “Stugna”, “Corsair”, “Alder” and other types of weapons are no worse, and often even better, than similar foreign types of weapons.
