Ukrainian Arms Industry

Zubr for Greece: four ships. Three vessels were commissioned in 2001: the Kefalonia (L180) was purchased used from the Russian Navy and upgraded, the Ithaki (L181) which was completed in Ukraine, and the Zakynthos (L183) which was built in Russia. A fourth vessel, the Kerkyra (L182), was launched in June 2004 at St. Petersburg yard and was commissioned in January 2005. I.e. ALSO BUILT IN UKRAINE.

Can't build anymore Zubr. Too much corruption and brain drain.

Now they can't. They can't make electronics like optics and computers and laser devices and high power diesel engines. Those were imported from Russia.

Pakistani tanks use Ukrainian made diesel engines.

No armor piercing bullets like Russian 7N22 that can counter Russian Ratnik

And no DSI either :sarcastic::patsak: :crazy_pilot:
 
Ukrainian weapons do not sukcs. Because the Ukrainian defense industry has inherited a huge share of the military industry of the USSR. Exact figures I do not know, but about 25-30% of the USSR military factories were built in Ukraine. No one even in a nightmare could not have dreamed that Ukraine and Russia will be different states.
However, after the Maidan, after breaking cooperative relations with Russia, Ukrainian military industry is doomed to destruction.

Dodge and weave. But still ignoring the fact that at least 1 was built in Ukraine for Greece. Four for China. Also ignoring the GTu factor. Hint: what powers the 3 ship Kolkata class of India? What powers the 6 Talwars delivered by Russia to India? What powers the Gepards deliverd by Russia to Vietnam? As for building the biggest ships : why on earth would Ukraine build a Kuznetsov sized ship today? Having said that, it doesn't mean they couldn't.

Where? Ukraine has no arms left to fight uprising.

That is irrelevant to their production capability. Unless factories are in the Donbas area and no longer accessible (which also doesn't reflect on capability).

Those were all made in Soviet days. Ukraine can't make tank diesel engines.

Because junta broke the contracts with Russia, and almost all of the Ukrainian defense products worked in cooperation with Russia. Export can not compensate the gap of these chains. Many defense and related enterprises of Ukraine supplied from 70 to 100 percent of production to Russia.
