Artillery, for example, was as recently as last year a bellwether of Ukraine’s battlefield success. Ukraine has said it should be able to produce enough artillery for itself by later this year, and other European nations should be able to help maintain the balance. Ukraine is also building its own armored vehicles and anti-tank weapons, having burned through more than 4,000 tanks, personnel carriers and other combat trucks since 2022. And the vast majority of drones, which have surpassed other weapons in lethality on the front lines, are made in Ukraine. That is partly because Ukraine uses missiles needed to intercept airstrikes almost as quickly as they are delivered, especially those that can stop Russian ballistic missiles and glide bombs that are difficult and costly to block.
