UK Considers Manufacturing Weapons in the Ukraine


Why ship the weapons in when you can just make them there???

Senior British defense industry officials are discussing the possibility of manufacturing weapons and armored vehicles in Ukraine under a local license, The Telegraph reported on Saturday. Some executives have already visited Kiev to explore options for setting up joint ventures, the newspaper wrote.

According to the report, British manufacturers are concerned that their French and German rivals could be the first to seal a deal with Kiev. One executive was quoted as describing the negotiations as a race to put London “at the front of the queue.” It was also said that such a licensing deal would likely require the approval of the British government.

The news comes as Ukraine’s Western supporters step up their military aid to Kiev amid its armed conflict with Russia. Britain pledged last month to deliver a squadron of Challenger 2 tanks for the first time.

It seems very dishonest.

If Russia was in total war, they would have the ability to bomb a weapons plant.

This is modern warfare with satellite targeting systems. You couldn’t hide a weapons plant, so you’d just have to trust Russia not to bomb it.
