Both Ukraine and other countries of the world, including those that previously relied on the Russian military-industrial complex, will buy new weapons from the United States.
The United States decided to invest in the production of ammunition in order to meet the needs of Ukraine, as well as support its military-industrial complex and economy.
This was told by military expert Ivan Stupak on the air of the Freedom TV channel .
According to him, the world has understood that traditional wars are possible in the future, so we need to be ready for them and invest in the modernization of existing and the production of modern types of weapons.
“Why is this being done? The entire civilized world has realized that such a traditional barbaric war is possible in the 21st century. And it is possible even in the 22nd century, so we need to prepare for it now. They are investing in factories, they will continue to invest in technology, these questions are pacifist – “world peace, against whom to fight, there is no evil empire …” There can always be a war like this barbaric. Not the way they planned for themselves when drones fly, hackers work here, drinking grape smoothies and attacking enemy heating plants via the Internet. Here such a war is really possible, and in order to protect yourself and your allies, you need to create a huge number of enterprises that will be engaged in the production of modern types of weapons,” Stupak said.
He also noted that both Ukraine and other countries of the world, including those that previously focused on the Russian military-industrial complex, will buy new weapons from the United States.
“After the war, Ukraine will massively buy these shells from America. Other countries that see the effectiveness of American weapons will also express a desire to buy them. This applies, for example, to the countries of Southeast Asia, which until recently bought Russian-made weapons. Because they was much cheaper than the American one, the United States often blocked sales due to non-observance of, for example, human rights, while Russia turned a blind eye to these rights, sold them for cash, bank transfer, barter … But these Russian weapons are ineffective. One “Javelin” is much more effective than the most modern Russian tank.Hymars generally made an advertisement for themselves, Lockheed MartinYou don’t even have to invest in marketing,” says Stupak.
He also noted that all these investments are, first of all, investments in their economy and production.
“Money is pouring into the American military-industrial complex, new jobs are being created, new specialists are being attracted, they will now be bought from all over the world. All conditions are being created for the American military-industrial complex to work and develop. In principle, it was the same after World War II,” he said. Stupak.
Lend-Lease for Ukraine
As UNIAN reported earlier, on October 1, 2022, the law on lend-lease for Ukraine , adopted by the United States, came into force. The first Lend-Lease weapons will arrive in Ukraine in mid-October.
The Lend-Lease Act expands the powers of the US President in agreements on the supply of military assistance to Ukraine. In fact, it allows lending or leasing military equipment under simplified export control procedures. It allows the White House to provide Ukraine with weapons, equipment, ammunition and dual-use products under an accelerated procedure, that is, without waiting for a special allocation of funds for this by the US Congress.
Experts are sure that the Lend-Lease weapons that Ukraine will receive will radically change the balance of power. Therefore, now Moscow is trying to use the opportunity and seize even more territories in the Donbass.
UNIAN has already told what kind of support Ukraine can count on from this Lend-Lease.
The last time the Lend-Lease program operated was during World War II, when American military aid was supplied to the opponents of Nazi Germany, primarily Great Britain and the USSR.
