Ukraine war orders starting to boost revenues for big US defense contractors

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 is starting to boost defense contractors’ revenues, as customers such as the U.S. government restock supplies shipped to Ukraine and countries around Europe arm themselves with an eye on Moscow’s aggressions.

U.S. defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin (LMT.N), General Dynamics (GD.N) and others expect that existing orders for hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds, hundreds of Patriot missile interceptors and a surge in orders for armored vehicles expected in the months ahead will underpin their results in coming quarters.

New contracts to supply Ukraine directly – or backfill U.S. weapons sent to Ukraine – were signed late last year, and now revenue is flowing to the big defense contractors. Lockheed, General Dynamics and RTX (RTX.N) all reported better than expected results over the past several days, and executives expect both the conflict in Ukraine and Israel’s war with Palestinian militant group Hamas to drive up near-term demand.

If I could go back to December of 2019, I would buy stock in Pfizer, Moderna, Raytheon, Boeing, and Northrup Grumman.

The effects of WWII made America unimaginably rich and powerful.
The ongoing war in Europe is set to Make America Rich Again.

I dont find that bad.
If America’s industrial war machine manages to expel the Neo Soviet invaders from Europe, while strengthening its economy in the process. Why not.

Ukraine will also pay back the American lend-lease weaponry program. Ukraine being the most resourceful county in Europe.
It has Europes largest or second largest Uranium production for example, which America badly needs.

I see a future political issue when Americans start to find out that stuff that cost them $100 billion gets destroyed by drones and missiles that cost the Russians or Chinese $50K

We’ll be really pissed at the bloated, corrupt, self-reinforcing DC system that created the scam.

That is total New World Order/MIC psyops propaganda BS. Looks like you are perfectly fine with financially enslaving your own Grandchildren. How caring of you.

These companies are not just in business to rob our own Grandchildren, most of them are also doing business with the enemy at the same time. Qutar is a proxy purchasing agent for Iran and Syria. Do you actually think these companies are loyal to just our Nation and our unwilling Grandchildren as customers?

You really are happy to have the establishment impoverish America by blood for money overseas. Disgusting.

That's fine with me. But we need to have an actual plan. Back in WWII, we did everything possible to beat the Nazis and the Japanese.

Today, we're just doing enough to keep our defense contractors in business to appease our masters of the MIC.

If we want Ukraine to win, we need to go all in. Let's give Ukraine 100 F-15s right now. And all the Abrams and Bradleys we have in our inventory. No half-@$$ed measures.
