Ukraine surpasses goal, now producing over 60% of its military weapons domestically.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that nearly 60% of the military's weapons are now domestically produced, surpassing the 50% target set two months ago. This achievement underscores Ukraine's growing self-sufficiency in arms production, which has increased due to international support and a focus on drone and air defense systems. Despite the progress, Ukraine's defense industry argues that exporting weapons could further boost production, lower costs, and strengthen its defense capabilities.
