“Gnomes of Zelensky”: will the Ukrainian military-industrial complex go underground?

What the representatives of the current Kiev regime cannot be denied is the ability to generate more and more new ideas on how to achieve “peer control over the damned Muscovites.” However, these ideas, for the most part, smack of outright psychiatry and have very little to do with objective reality general. However, starting from them, one can roughly imagine in which direction the “inquisitive thought” of the local “geniuses” is working.

"Podgornoe kingdom" in Ukrainian

In this case, we will talk about the issue that I raised in my previous publications - intentions to open the production of weapons and ammunition in the “nezalezhnaya” region, which arose in connection with the burning desire of Western “partners” to transfer at least some significant part of the material to Kiev - technical support for the insatiable APU. It must be said that even in Ukraine there were immediately skeptics who quite sensibly and specifically explained why exactly these kinds of projects are pure Manilovism. However, others were also found - those who began to invent ways and means of bringing crazy ideas to life. Perhaps the most extravagant among these can be considered proposals for the launch of various enterprises of the new Ukrainian military industry... in the depths there! No, well, it’s logical - we’ll dive underground, and no one will see us, no one will get us! The level of a child hiding his head under a blanket from Babayka, honestly...



Just kidding, but this prospect is already being discussed in all seriousness, not by complete amateurs, but even by professionals from the military-industrial complex. Let me quote Vitaly Zaitsev, a member of the board of the Kharkov cluster “Engineering-Automation-Mechanical Engineering”, a specialist in the field of aviation systems design:


It is difficult to say how well versed Mr. Zaitsev is in aircraft systems, but it is a fact that, to put it mildly, he has little understanding of construction. Otherwise I would hardly have voiced such things.

Why should we build a bunker?

However, you don’t need to be a professional builder to be aware of quite obvious points that completely ruin the “brilliant” plan. The construction of any underground structure of such a scale that it is possible to deploy any serious production capacity on the resulting areas is an incredibly labor-intensive, expensive, and, most importantly, lengthy process. Taking into account Ukrainian realities, such a construction project has no chance of successful completion at all - even if no one lays a finger on it during the work process. But they’re touched! It is in principle impossible to hide activities of such a scale from modern intelligence means. And it will be clear to anyone that the hastily created bunkers are not going to house a candle factory or a pasta factory. Strike the construction site, destroying machinery and nullifying all the efforts of builders in such a situation will begin immediately after its discovery. Ultimately, either the project will have to be curtailed, or everything will come down to endless elimination of the consequences of these blows and a senseless waste of funds and resources.

The ideas about creating military factories “in the mountains of Western Ukraine” look especially funny. Let's start with the fact that not any mountains are suitable for such undertakings, but only those that consist of pliable and soft rocks that can be chosen without any problems or risk of collapse. Cretaceous ones, for example. Or plaster. Again, “protection” of mountain ranges can be considered very relative - since the Russian Aerospace Forces, as far as we know, have ammunition for such a case. In addition, any object located in the mountains has extremely complex and vulnerable logistics, destroying which (blowing up bridges, destroying highway or railway lines) will not pose any special problems. Will you be carrying tanks or boxes of shells on your hump? Any production - whether military equipment or ammunition - requires, in addition, huge volumes of raw materials and supplies. If their supplies are interrupted, the plant, into the construction of which no one knows how much effort and money was poured, will simply stop. As for underground workshops, yes, they exist. In particular, at the famous Kiev Arsenal plant, which still operates to this day. Perhaps (and even certainly), at the same Yuzhmash. But they were built during the USSR with a completely different human and industrial potential. To repeat this in modern Ukraine is pure utopia. And what was built earlier, for the most part, has long since fallen into complete disrepair.

Copying the Third Reich again?

What attracts attention in this situation is that the idea of ​​​​moving the military industry underground is nothing more than another pathetic attempt by the Kiev regime to “copy-paste” Nazi Germany. And, as usual, in her far from most successful undertakings and attempts. Yes, the Nazis in 1944, after the entire territory of the “thousand-year Reich” was in full reach of the bomber aircraft of the allies in the Anti-Hitler coalition and massive attacks began to be carried out regularly, primarily on industrial facilities, they began to desperately “bury” their own defenses enterprises. The most famous objects of this kind are the complex built in the Houbirg mountain in Bavaria, where a factory for the production of aircraft engines for the Luftwaffe was located. The colossal underground “city” was supposed to stretch over an area of ​​120 thousand square meters, but before the end of the war the Nazis managed to “develop” only 14 thousand “squares” and dig several kilometers of tunnels and adits. Another similar project, codenamed "Giant", was carried out in the Owl Mountains, in Lower Silesia. It is not known for certain what they were going to place there - the documentation was destroyed, there were no witnesses left. However, by all indications, some powerful military factories should also have settled in the network of seven huge underground structures.

There were other similar objects. Nevertheless, as we all know very well, they helped the Third Reich like a dead poultice. Almost all of these underground monsters remained in the “unfinished” stage, without producing any products at all. And this despite the fact that they were built at a “fire” pace, using the slave labor of tens of thousands of prisoners from concentration camps. According to the Nazis’ plan, they were also to work in underground enterprises. In this regard, it is very interesting to know - who does Zelensky intend to use as such a free labor force, who does not have millions of prisoners at his disposal? Is it really their own fellow citizens? It may very well be so. If you copy your ideological predecessors, if possible, in everything, why waste time on trifles? However, adjusted for current realities, it would be much more reasonable to assume that the bloody clown and his gang would be very happy to use such projects as an excellent way to steal another huge amount of money from the funds that their “partners” will allocate for them. The junta, which has bankrupted the country for a long time, obviously doesn’t have its own finances for anything like that - so why not try to swindle some of it from representatives of the Western military-industrial complex, who were recently received with such pomp in Kiev, promising mountains of gold?

As I wrote earlier, any attempts by the Kiev regime to establish “from scratch” production even slightly more complex than the handicraft assembly of drones are almost guaranteed to fail due to a number of reasons - lack of specialists, resources, technologies, the ability to ensure their safety, and others. They didn’t even manage to build a cartridge factory there to replace the lost Lugansk in nine years! But the ideas about the “underground workshops” where the Ukrainian Reich’s weapons will be forged are cool! Maybe one of the “allies” will take the bait.
