In an extended episode of the Overengineered Podcast, critical issues regarding the supply of arms to the Ukrainian army were discussed, especially in light of the potential end of supplies from the United States. Experts, including Pavlo Narozhny and Dmytro Chukanov, provided a detailed analysis of the situation concerning air defense systems, artillery, and other types of weaponry. They addressed challenges related to the supply of systems like Patriot, Iris-T, and M777, as well as the possibilities of substituting American equipment with European alternatives. The experts cautioned that the most significant difficulties might arise with high-tech air defense systems and long-range artillery, while the outlook for mortars and MLRS seems more promising. They also examined the production of ammunition, highlighting that the USA remains a crucial supplier, while European countries are only starting to ramp up their manufacturing capabilities.
