Ukraine is living off the investments made by USSR in defence factories on its territory. What is the need for a state like Ukraine for a bloated defence industry, if not to sell its ware to countries of questionable characteristics. They have failed to come up with any competitive product in the armament market. How long can they survive by reverse by beating the T-80 knockoffs?
