Several G7 countries have decided to produce long-range missiles directly in Ukraine under licensing agreements. This initiative aims to strengthen Kyiv's defense and offensive capabilities in the face of the Russian offensive. Local manufacturing will accelerate deliveries and reduce lead times for strategic weaponry.

An unprecedented technology transfer

This local production of sophisticated munitions marks a turning point in Western support for Ukraine. The missiles in question include long-range air attack and defense systems, essential for countering Russian strikes and targeting enemy positions deep within their borders. The transfer of licensed manufacturing technologies represents an unprecedented commitment from the G7 powers.

Towards Ukrainian military autonomy

The increase in Ukraine's ammunition stockpile should allow Kyiv to maintain sustained military pressure on Moscow. This industrial strategy also aims to guarantee the country's self-sufficiency in arms production in the face of the vagaries of international deliveries. The ramp-up of local production is part of a protracted war strategy that Western powers are now openly anticipating.
