Ukrainians Repurpose Junkyards And Garages To Repair Battle-Damaged Tanks

by David Axe

Russian forces are targeting Ukraine’s weapons factories, hoping to chip away at Kyiv’s ability to repair damaged vehicles and equip its army.

But when it comes to armored vehicles, at least, attacking factories might not make much of a difference for very long. The Ukrainians already are finding ways of fixing battle-damaged vehicles without sending them to big, easy-to-target factories.

The Kremlin on March 14 announced its intention to “disable enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine that manufacture, repair and restore weapons that nationalists use to commit war crimes.”

To be clear, what the Russian government calls “war crimes” in fact are a defensive campaign of national survival on the part of millions of Ukrainians.

In any event, the Russians have been bombarding Ukrainian arms plants since the start of the wider war on Feb. 23. Russian artillery on Feb. 25 and again on or around March 2 struck in or around the Myshalev tank factory complex in the eastern city of Kharkiv.

And on March 18, Russian cruise missiles damaged the State Aircraft Repair Plant in Lviv, in western Ukraine. That facility overhauls the Ukrainian air force’s dozens of MiG-29s.
