A huge military-industry system was established in the Soviet era. Ukraine was an important part of the Soviet industrial division of labor system. Ukraine in the Soviet era had many military-industry enterprises , which had the production capacity of aircraft carrier , tank and large military transport aircraft. It also had a supporting supply chain layout, including aircraft engines and marine engines, so that Ukraine could eat some of its old capital for a long time. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was independent, and its aviation engine and marine engine industries were continued to be retained, thus creating a lot of foreign exchange for Ukraine. At the same time, Ukraine has the ability to develop and build main battle tanks and has also been exported.
not only laid out a huge military industry in Ukraine, but also has many military industry enterprises in Russia. Now Russian military industry enterprises are working at full capacity. This is because the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has given Russian military industry sufficient orders, especially the heavy equipment and precision guided weapons industries, including cruise missile , ballistic missile and long-range rocket launchers. Russia began a "special military operation" in Ukraine on February 24. In the early stages of the Russian army launching a strike, it adopted the "small fight" tactic. Since the Ukrainian army did not expect Russia to launch an attack, it was stunned by Russia at the beginning, so the Russian army quickly controlled many areas in eastern Ukraine.
In fact, it is not just Ukraine and Russia to confront each other. Behind Ukraine is the support of NATO . After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, NATO provided Ukraine with a large amount of equipment, including the M142 Himas high-motorized rocket launcher and M270 multi-barrel rocket launcher system with assault capabilities. 202210133/Global Defense Observation/Ali, now the M142 Himas has become the "artifact" of the Ukrainian army and often appears in the battlefields in eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian army frequently uses the M142 Himas high-motor rocket launcher to conduct precise strikes on Zaporo thermonuclear power plant , which eventually led to the closure of all the nuclear power plants.
After long-term preparation, Ukraine began a "big counterattack" in September, and after 5 days, it completely controlled the Kharkiv region. The Ukrainian army's "big counterattack" awakened the Russian military industry. Now the Russian military industry has worked overtime to build weapons and equipment, including the construction of a large number of ammunition for consumption. Russia invested hundreds of cruise missiles at one time on October 10, intensively attacking important targets in many regions of Ukraine. The critical strike of Russian cruise missiles released a clear signal. In addition to retaliating against Ukrainian "terrorist attacks" Crimea Bridge , it also issued a warning to NATO that Russia has sufficient assault capabilities and NATO provocations need to be weighed.
Under the long-term war of attrition, the Ukrainian army has consumed many NATO's weapons and equipment. The most obvious is that the supply of javelin anti-tank missile is insufficient, which has led to the production of US manufacturers at full capacity. At the same time, the speed of the US military-aided M142 Himas high-motorized rocket launcher is significantly reduced. This is because Ukraine's loss speed exceeds the construction speed of US manufacturers. In contrast, Russian military-industrial enterprises can provide a large number of multi-barrel rocket launcher systems, so that the Russian army can advance multiple fronts. Russia has organized 300,000 troops to launch large-scale military operations in eastern Ukraine, thus bringing many orders to Russian military industry. Therefore, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has revitalized Russia's huge military industry.
