As for strike capabilities, the situation is simpler here because Ukraine developed its rocket strike sector; various types of rockets were produced there in large quantities along with their engines, and consequently, design bureaus and production facilities exist, preserving a significant portion of expertise.
Consensus
- G7 countries are planning to produce long-range ballistic missiles in Ukraine under license.
- European support is expected to play a key role in the development and production of advanced missile systems in Ukraine.
- Ukraine has existing expertise in rocketry and weapon design, particularly in strike weapons.
- There is concern that large-scale domestic production of such weapons would be vulnerable to destruction if detected.
Points of divergence
- Ukraine lacks capabilities in anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic defense due to the historical concentration of relevant industries in the RSFSR, and European support will not help in this area. — vesti
- G7 countries have agreed to provide licenses allowing Ukraine to expand its military production, including systems for deep strikes and air defense. — vm
