We are seeing a very clever move away from batch delivery of weapons, toward a sustained Ukrainian production model that will be less vulnerable to allied political shifts. I notice that while the ATACMS is not headed to Ukraine yet, another large money infusion is. I wouldn't be surprised if the US is pushing hard to assist in spinning up Ukrainian production of their own Hrimm 2 missile, which has similar capabilities. While it is in service it doesn't seem to have a good production pipeline yet. If the Neptune land attack cruise missile variant is an indicator though, it may only be a matter of time before a larger and larger share of the weapons being used to encourage the occupiers to leave will be built in Ukraine. Either under license, or their own designs.
