Very nice! Ukraine can build almost anything and of highest quality. The government and pro-ukrainian oligarchs must hand more cash to the military industry asap.
Paybacks are going to be a bitch if the Moskali try to move further into Ukraine. I believe there are many Moskali soldiers that won’t want to venture into the Ukrainian meat grinder and get the cargo 200 taxi ride home.
