let's talk about our national defense industry and state and private in the conditions of war, how and how our defense industry helps the armed forces. and why do we more and more often mention foreign models of weapons and very little about our own ? my name is serhiy zgurets and i am the director of the information consulting company defense express, which jointly with the espresso channel, he is trying to highlight the current trends in the life of our armed forces and the defense industry. my interlocutor today is the general director of the league of defense enterprises of ukraine, yuriy brovchenko the league unites private companies of ukraine, which are key manufacturers of weapons, this armored vehicle , drones and radar units of guided weapons, including the well-known neptune complex that sank in moscow, as well as various defense systems, mr.

yuriy. i welcome you to the espresso channel. good day. i am very pleased, and first of all swam to ukraine and glory to our defenders and i think that our conversation will be quite interesting, we will strive for it and i will start with the fact that today there is a lot of talk about what the united states and the west should increase and accelerate the supply of weapons for the ukrainian army, meetings in the rammstein format were dedicated to this , the lend-lease program was dedicated to this, it was stated that we should get at least a thousand guns and as much ammunition as possible for these weapons systems, how are you, as a former military man and how i understand that i am an artilleryman with my first professional education. you assess our aspirations to have much more foreign weapons. we must understand that at this

moment we have lost certain production capabilities and today we really need that the help that is given to us and it should be much more, first of all, i would like, understanding that the accompanying process is to thank our strategic partners, our friends who provide colossal material assistance for the provision of the armed forces and the military formation of our military formations really everything necessary, but at the same time we must understand that our industry is able to produce samples that meet nato standards and we are ready to issue them, including to a private company. yes, please, can you outline the general

situation before the start of the active phase of the war precisely in the 22nd year in february, what we were ready for and what we were not ready for in view of the preparation of the economy and industry for such an intensive nature of hostilities, well, we can say that we were limitedly prepared first of all for such a large-scale war against ukraine, at the same time , in my opinion, some inaccuracies were admitted, not even inaccuracies, but we must understand that the program documents that were introduced in 2017 year, they give a clear, clear idea of ​​how we were to develop our defense and develop our defense industrial complex, what was the support for buses of private sex today,

we understand that the private sector really needs more detailed responsibility, attention, we must also understand that the defense industry by 2019-2022 it was a little bit in such an insignificant introduction, this is primarily related to the formation of the ministry of strategic industries, which was quite problematic and it was moving it is quite difficult and at the same time we have introduced a law, put into effect the law on defense procurement which , in my opinion, is sufficiently opposed and analyzing the norms of the law on defense procurement, it is, in my opinion, much more

bureaucratic than the law about state security order therefore, this led to a certain slowdown in the development of the defense-industrial complex, the inability of the ministry of strategic industries to make operational decisions in 2020-21 the slowdown in the development of other defense-industrial complex, including the purchase of weapons and military equipment of domestic production, that is, we can actually say that we lost the 19th, 20th, and 21st years to organizational measures and structural changes in the defense industry, which in fact they did not speed up the production of certain samples, on the contrary, they made the procedures more difficult, you can say yes, it is true, it is true, we practically lost 19-21 years of

procurement of domestic weapons, the advantage was renewed including by the foreign brother of the border procurement of samples of armed military equipment. this gave such a negative signal of the domestic pc that over the past three years, well, on our on us, according to our analysis, part of the enterprise with portals its production because they did not see their prospects in providing arming the troops, well , arming the armed forces and other military formations, this applies directly to private companies or also to state ones, that is, whether or not a year ago, the military-industrial complex in ukraine, the state-owned enterprises had a similar situation, well, this is my personal opinion, i see it

on the pressure of provisions and communicating with the enterprises, producers, and specialists of the armed forces of ukraine, but the defense budget of the 20-21st year, eh, the 22nd, it increased this means that despite the increase in the share for the purchase of weapons to our and state enterprises to private ones, a significant share of funds was found that allowed them to ensure the planned production of military equipment, so it turns out, and we must realize this and provide the appropriate eh, the analysis, conduct the appropriate analysis and eh, review these priorities that the government should carry out in relation to both state and private companies that manufacture weapons and military

technical equipment. we could produce serially and in sufficient quantities both in state-owned companies and in private ones, we could outline in our audience that line that we could really make in sufficient quantity, well, in sufficient quantity, we could to provide uavs, in my opinion, with both light and heavy armored vehicles, well, with heavy armored vehicles , maybe not 100%, but 80%, we could provide heavy armored vehicles with light armored vehicles, in my deep conviction, we could provide 100% , uh, our armed forces, other military formations, with the means of radio electronic warfare, we could very much shift uh, in our

favor and on the provision of the armed forces. including the production of ammunition, ammunition caliber 100-150-2 mm, and we were able to provide ourselves at an early stage with 30 to 50% of the need, despite the stocks that were stored in the warehouses of the armed forces of ukraine. well, then, let's start with ammunition in more detail, because in a nutshell, now the american side says that we are running out of ammunition of soviet calibers, now the americans are financing the project directly in bulgaria so that they resume the production of art ammunition in these calibers which are supposed to be supplied to our armed forces, and in our country directly, these state programs in the

ammunition industry did not have such a rational conclusion, neither in large caliber nor in small caliber, and even in small-caliber ammunition, please find out why this happened or whether are there any options for getting out of this situation, well, in particular, with the same ammunition for the system for small arms, if we take classic artillery, we currently have several enterprises in ukraine that, in principle, are there is little here that has small-scale production of artillery shells in particular, it is a great pity that charges are a very problematic issue today regarding the production of charges in particular. if we talk about shells, then in principle one of the state enterprises and in my

opinion there are two private enterprises that today, we are able to manufacture projectiles with a caliber from 100 to 152 mm and meet the needs of up to 30 to 30, i would say 30 to 30%, what is used today, but we are not 100% capable today what influenced these factors why were we not able to organize until the end of the production of munitions, it is my deep conviction that this is an internal matter, when certain , including state institutions, the power structures blocked the execution of certain contracts at a certain stage, which made it possible today, even at

a minimum, it is 200 to 300 000 projectiles per year with a caliber from 100 to 152 mm to be produced in ukraine, is there such a possibility that we, i will add this and in addition to the fact that under the program for the development of the ammunition industry under the program for the development of the defense-industrial complex, we practically completed production preparation for cartridges for small arms caliber from e-e 5:45 to 9 mm and large-caliber e-e cartridges were not considered at that stage today, this should also be one of the priorities and develop this production . reasons and er, well, we are fine. we are very well

aware of the results when there is a reference to a specific enterprise. unfortunately, i think that we will be able to give answers to all those questions after the end of this war. why so? this happened, but ammunition is needed already today, even if we do not name enterprises or put them at risk, we know that key enterprises in the capital in other cities that were connected with the ammunition industry were subjected to a missile attack by enemy forces, this means that in these under these conditions, it will be difficult to renew these cooperation ties, is there still an opportunity even in the conditions of war to manufacture art ammunition and small -arms and small-arms ammunition? today in ukraine there is and has been a certain transfer of

e-e production capacities of both state and private enterprises to various locations in ukraine, where e-e production has been resumed today, including preparations for the production of ammunition, is the information correct that we are in close contact with foreign partners to speed up the process of manufacturing ammunition and there are options when it can be placed not necessarily on the territory of ukraine but outside our country or is it just placement outside the country, placement outside of ukraine is quite complicated. today, it is uncomplicated. many countries are ready to place production in their own country, understanding that this is the first
