One of the solutions of the russia problem
Only 12 countries are capable of manufacturing ballistic missiles—and Ukraine is now among them (WSJ).
The first combat deployment of the Ukrainian FP-7 ballistic missile highlights the development of Ukraine’s defense industry. Other nations with such capabilities include the US, Russia, Iran, China, and France.
Ballistic missile production is costly due to complex guidance systems and engineering requirements—such as the need to withstand extreme temperatures.
Ukraine’s defense industry also manufactures drones for air, land, and maritime operations, as well as electronic warfare systems, howitzers, and two types of cruise missiles.
