- kragen 1y agoIf the interceptor-drone agreement followed the investment, the investment can't have been conditional on the agreement, so maybe the plant was intended to produce other drones, perhaps for sale to, for example, the Allance of Sahel States (ASS). £200M is the same order of magnitude as Ukraine's total yearly spending on drones, I think.
- tim333 1y agoI think Ukraine is investing large sums into its arms industry and it will probably continue as a large part of its economy, exporting arms after the war is over. They would after all be in a strong position as one of the only countries to have successfully fought a major power in recent times.
- kragen 1y agoProbably a better position than the Taliban, actually, who actually won the war and recouped all their lost territory. That seems unlikely to be in the cards for Ukraine.
