Zelenskyy: Russian military targets are becoming more reachable

Security from terror is impossible without bold decisions – this is clear for every country. Without justice, there is no lasting peace, and it is quite realistic for Ukraine to achieve it."

Quote from Zelenskyy

This is particularly true in the case of Denmark, where investment in production is encouraged. We have also agreed with France on a slightly different model that also involves technology for building the relevant production lines. There are also preliminary agreements with other partners regarding the localisation of weapons manufacture here in Ukraine. This is something that will consistently make us stronger,

he said

Ensuring these weapon systems remain mission capable is critical for Ukraine’s defence against Russian aggression,

the Pentagon said in a statement

We have seen the munitions demands of a major war, which are not a surprise — everybody knows that protracted great-power wars use a lot of munitions,

Mark Cancian, a defense expert and retired US Marine Corps colonel, told BI

We never really thought we would be in such a position, and these events have shown us what the demands could be, combined with a strategy that now recognizes we could end up in a great-power conflict that might go on for a long time,

said Cancian, now a senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies

What we are seeing from the real-world examples is that munitions expenditure will be very high,

said Martin, now a senior policy researcher at RAND

The volume of weaponry — the number of missiles and other systems that are going to be required to deal with a high-end conflict — are just much more than we had planned,

Bradley Martin, a retired Navy surface warfare captain, told Business Insider

We also lack the industrial base to rapidly expand,

he added
