Ihor Fedirko, executive director of the Ukrainian Council of Weapons Manufacturers, says only up to 25% of Ukraine’s available defense production capacity is contracted as of mid-August. He warns that a pause in contracting now could create a real weapons supply gap within six months, as complex defense products require months for components, production and testing. Fedirko urged the Defense Ministry to ensure continuous contracting during the transition to competitive tenders.
