Ukraine tries to build its own munitions industry

We have a huge deficit of ammunition not just in Ukraine but all over the world,” Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal told the Financial Times. “We understand we should produce this here in Ukraine because all around the world it’s finished, it’s depleted. All the warehouses are empty.”

The government was drawing on the lessons of its dramatic increase in domestic drone manufacturing, he said, which is up from “a few dozen last year” to “dozens of thousands” this year.

building up a procurement industry for shells, artillery and air defence is a far more complex and ambitious undertaking than for drones, at a time of worldwide shortages of key components and raw materials

the global “shortage of gunpowder”

A priority now is signing joint ventures with European and American defence companies

Let’s hope the Global South can keep the resources away from the Global North long enough that they can’t ramp up production. And also that the US doesn’t unveil a new modality that doesn’t require gunpowder.

Some western governments are wary of signing off on such deals, fearing that their citizens might be killed in a Russian strike on a facility.

Of course that’s going to happen before you even finish pouring the foundation.
