Ukraine used to be a major manufacturer of armored vehicles, first for the Soviet Union, then for itself after the non-official Cold War ended.  The most famous tank series produced in Ukraine was the T-64/T-80 family, and as far as I know was still being produced up until the 2014 NATO-instigated coup.  Ukraine’s tank manufacturer is known as MorozovKMDB.  However, in 2019 there were problems between the NATO backed government/military of Ukraine and MorozovKMDB.  Reportedly, the Ukrainian military refused to accept MorozovKMDB’s BTR-4s because they were built with steel made in Finland!  MorozovKMDB was fined 82-million Hryvnia (Ukrainian money), and was forced to reduce operations to just two days per week!  Ever since then, the NATO installed government of Ukraine has been demanding that NATO countries send it armored vehicles, at the expense of NATO taxpayers!

This is a Russian gunsight photo of a Ukrainian T-72MP, published October 2022. The T-72MP was meant to be upgraded to NATO standards and then sold to other countries, instead Ukraine is now using them.

Maybe, despite what the Western/NATO news media says, Ukraine is losing its ass.
