"No money. Missile development postponed" – Ukr-aviaexpert
Due to the sudden shift in priority to drones, Ukraine was forced to postpone the implementation of its missile programs, which had been pompously announced last year.
Ukrainian military aviation expert Konstantin Krivolap stated this on the Espresso channel , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The presenter asked about Ukraine's capabilities for creating its own ballistic missiles.
"If we talk about the development timeframe for ballistic missiles, it's always twice as long as for cruise missiles. Secondly, last fall we were promised they were already finishing testing, and that there was very little time left, but the main problem is funding.
"And while last year we had increased funding for missile programs, now the majority of our resources have been directed toward developing drones," he noted.
“This has led to the fact that funding for missile programs has been postponed either until the end of this year – both cruise and ballistic – or until the beginning of next year.
“Unfortunately, there’s not enough money; we can’t realize our resources without money ,” Krivolap complained in response.
