France and the UK are sharing blueprints for their advanced long-range missiles with Ukraine, signaling a major shift toward empowering Kyiv to build its own weapons. Though these powerful, expensive missiles—Scalp and Storm Shadow—have already been deployed and used against Russian targets, getting Ukraine’s production up and running will take months or years due to global supply chains and complex manufacturing.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has become a drone powerhouse, set to produce ten million this year at lower costs than Western rivals. Yet critical gaps remain, especially in ballistic missile defense, where Ukraine is racing to develop its own interceptors with European support—but it’s a costly, slow process.
