International Desk: The war between Russia and Ukraine for the last 10 months has reached a risky and unexpected phase. The most dangerous is that Russia is now considering the option of nuclear weapons. Other Western countries including the United States have increased military cooperation in response to the Russian attack. Now the question is arising that who is benefiting in such a long war that is being benefited.
On October 28, the United States approved $ 27,5 million weapons, war materials and equipment for Ukraine. After this, the total assistance of the US to Ukraine reached $ 18.5 billion. In the coming days, Ukraine expects a large amount of sophisticated air defense system and several weapons including high-tech drones. During this war, with so much money for new orders, Global Defense is like a wish for the industries. This is also because Jens’s march report states that Russia’s invasion on Ukraine has increased the defense spending of all countries. Globally, the total defense spending, including the entire Europe, will be of record $ 2.08 trillion. Europe’s defense budget has increased by $ 30.7 billion. Out of this, 80% stake in Germany alone.
Analysis of military assistance given to Ukraine has revealed that military expenses and arms volume have increased. According to Ukraine Support Tracker, an initiative by Germany’s Kail Institute for the World Economy, between January 4 and October 3 this year, the US committed to Ukraine in military aid of 27. 6 billion euros. Of this, 15. 2 billion euro is for special weapons and equality. After this, Poland has decided to give 1. 8 billion euros in Special Military Hardware, UK 1. 5 billion euros and 0. 7 billion euros of Germany.
Now the question arises as to who is benefiting from war. In fact, the list of military equipment given to Ukraine gives information about what kind of weapons are needed at present. Also, which arms manufacturers are benefiting from the new order. According to the tracker, some important military equipment provided by the US stinger anti-airfall system (Retheon manufactured), Javelin Anti-Tank Weapon System (Retheon and Lockheed Martin), Switchblade Tactical Unmanded Aerial System (Aerovironement), M7777 Hotzer ( BAE Systems).
Himars Multiple Rocket Launcher (Lockheed Martin), and a variety of ammunition and armored strategic vehicles are included. Meanwhile, the UK’s important delivery includes armored vehicles such as StarStrical Anti-AirCraft System (Thels), NLAW Anti-Twentyness (Saab Bofors Dynamics-Thhels) and Mastiff 6×6 (Force Protection Inc.). Germany has provided gapard rapid-fire armored vehicles and Pengerfost 3 Anti-Arm weapons (Dynamit Nobel AG), while France has supplied the Kaiser Howitzer (Nexter Systems).
New arms orders are being placed since the war started. The production series is being increased. As a result, shares of arms manufacturing companies have been touching new heights since the onset of war. Actually, this year defense shares have performed better than the global market. Since the onset of the war in February, the shares of BAE Systems increased by 37% in September. In the same period, Lockheed Martin has seen 8% growth.
