MOSCOW, 23 Oct. The United States will not supply Ukraine with a large number of HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems due to limited industrial capacity, writes The New Yorker, citing a Pentagon source. «We immediately said: «You will not get many of these systems.» < …> Because they simply do not exist in unlimited quantities on planet Earth, «the US defense department said. As noted in the article, each launcher costs about seven million dollars. According to experts, Ukraine spends more than five thousand missiles a month, while their manufacturer Lockheed Martin produces only nine thousand units a year. According to a Pentagon source, exactly the same problem exists with air defense systems requested by Ukraine. The problem is more technical than political: Washington does not have many spare air defense installations to give them to Kyiv, the official summed up. Moscow has repeatedly noted that the West is seeking to prolong the conflict in Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense stressed that warehouses with foreign ammunition will become legitimate targets for the Russian Aerospace Forces in the neighboring republic. paralyze the APU with lightning speed
