Early Access: Ukraine Defense Industry feat. Steven Zaloga (Patreon)

Why the Ukrainian Defense Industry failed

In this video Steven Zaloga and I talk about the Ukrainian Defense Industry how it developed from the Fall of the Soviet Union up to about 2021, as well as the locations of important facilities and their products. We discuss the challenges, the problems, how it was integrated into the Soviet Defense Industry and what problems this brought for both Ukraine and Russia. We also look at what Ukraine and Russia did differently to keep their defense industries afloat.
