That is great news. I wish the west could/would provide more but it is smart that Ukraine is trying to get ahead in military equipment production!

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stressed that Ukraine had deployed domestically produced – rather than Western-supplied – weapons to strike military depots in Russia.
Source: President Zelenskyy’s video address on 21 September
Quote from Zelenskyy: “Another arms depot has been hit in Russia, it was an important depot for the occupation army […] The Security Service of Ukraine has also done a good job striking another arms depot of the Russian forces, the facility where Russian tactical missiles and glide bombs – everything that Russia uses to terrorise our cities and our positions – were stored.
And I want to stress: we are able to do this thanks to our own capabilities and our weapons, without the weapons that our partners can give us and that can bring the end of the war significantly closer by [helping Ukraine] destroy Russia’s offensive capabilities.
If we were able to use all of our capabilities to defend our country, if we had enough missiles and permissions that our partners can grant us, the situation would have been much better for our security, the security of Ukraine and everyone the world over who does not want to exist amid the aggression like this Russian aggression.”

> Details: Zelenskyy said that next week Ukraine will continue trying to convince its partners that "Ukraine needs true long-range capability: not just domestically manufactured drones and missiles, which so far do not have a sufficiently long range, but everything that can protect the world from Russian terror".
Instead of providing Ukraine with US weapons (which a lot of people complain about) we should just give them $ to build their own weapons manufacturing/reseach infrastructure. I wonder how quick the billions would make that happen.

It isn’t like the US hasn’t been sliding missile tech to the Ukrainians this whole time.
Tech plans and fabrication techniques that are two decades old for the US would be a huge leap forward for Ukrainian drones and missiles.
It meets both Ukraine’s and the West’s needs to have Ukraine hitting deep targets in Russia.

Question:
What’s the standard issue rifle the Ukrainians use? I assume it’s an AK variant since they have USSR roots.
Or have they abandoned that platform entirely and shifted to ARs since they’re leaning into a NATO relationship?
