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.

“Are you against support for Israel?”
No.
One Country is Corrupt.
The other Country is Righteous.
Give Support to Israel. No more money for Corrupt Ukraine run by a Homo Dictator.
Don’t post to me again.
“The greater the war, death and destruction; the greater the riches ! “

I agree,
That’s why Russia in invading Europe once again. Ukraine has the overflows with natural resources, That why Russia is trying desperately to take it.
We must stop this warmongering.
We must force the neocon-clones in the Kremlin to stop using military brutality in invading other sovereign nations.
Russia must be stopped using its proxies (Iran and HAMAS) against Israel.
I thought we were sending pallets of cash to Kiev. How are US companies getting money? //sarcasm
“so Americans can have good paying jobs.”
I have heard that antiquated argument for years too. It is based on pure greed and immorality.
Aahhh! The sweet smell of war.
Back to the future - “I love the smell of napalm in the morning!”
The US MIC get the money to build overpriced crap for Kiev, which Kiev sells on the black market and ends up in Gaza.
“FYI - usafrance is a globalist POS who probably gets paid to infect FR!”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Islamo-Neo Soviet-Commie Globos are an alliance composed of :
Iran, Hamas, Russia, Hezbollah, North Korea, China, Cuba, Belarus, Venezuela, Nicaragua. They are tightly working together. The true GLOBO guys.
Those who are NOT denouncing their terrible anti-America and anti Western actions are morally complicit.
It’s TIME to fight those GLOBALISTS !
Stop appeasing globalism !
“More war, more death, glory be to God.”

That is RUSSIA’S motto. Indeed.
Because THEY are ones invading other’s homes and countries.
No countries are invading Russia. Right?
Do you know him well? I don’t.
The news often showed gayish Putin bare-chested riding horses all the time...
You seem to prefer that guy huh?
“Funny how you change the rules when you lose the game.”
I have never once in my life changed my stance on perpetual foreign entanglements that are costing my Grandchildren their prosperous future and enslaving them to debt just for short term profits for the MIC.
Because this is the true cause and effect do you hate your own Grandchildren?
“Europe has done more funding to support Ukraine than the USA.”
We are not just spending taxpayers dollars to the Ukraine. Why don’t you warmongers tell the >whole truth<. We are are currently in MANY conflicts around the world right now that we are also paying for heavily.
“Are you against support for Israel?”
That is a loaded question, don’t try to confuse my hate for endless wars with not supporting your chosen side of this political religious mess. I am against my Grandchildren being drug into a war that has been perpetual since the Philistines enslaved the Hebrews and Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the Temple.
Especially when the conflict was all planned and set up to be what it is now purely so that the MIC can profit from it. Same reason we are ramping up to have a direct U.S., war with Iran. I don’t give a damn who is right or wrong. I don’t like them trying to insult my intelligence.
Too bad you are allowing them to insult yours and let them manipulate you... I’m not falling for the scam.
I don’t prefer either Dictator.
President Eisenhower warned America as he left office more than 60 years ago of what he called “the military industrial complex”.
In government circles, especially in DC, the intelligence agencies are called “the community”.
On Trump’s first day in office, members of this community showed up in the Oval Office and told the new president that he would be given a “daily briefing” first thing. Trump responded that he was a smart guy and didn’t need a daily briefing.
What happened was that the community, which actually serves as shills and salesmen for defense contractors, who are ALWAYS looking for new conflicts in which to sell their latest products, weren’t asking his permission. They were telling the new president that he would have the briefing, whether he wanted it or not. When he refused, he had made an enemy of the most powerful and wealthiest, not to mention secret organizations in the world.
The community has done almost everything they could think of to get rid of Donald Trump, and so far nothing has worked. In combination with America’s enemies, they were able to prevent him from winning in 2020.
The big question is, can they do it again?
America’s intel community, with its ties to military defense contractors, is the most powerful and clandestine force in human history. Breaking them will be a monumental task, a political feat of untold proportions.
The only person anywhere in the world with the strength and force of will to get this done and return America to the American people is Donald Trump.
I’ve been voting republican since Nixon, and each election is touted as ‘the most important’, but they all pale in comparison to next year.
2024 really is the most important.
President Trump is correct. If we lose 2024, America, and liberty are gone, probably for all time.
Trump 2024, like your life depends on it, because it does.
Excellent history. Out of the fog comes the true bigger picture of reality.
did you not already have some when Pfizer came out with Viagra? to me that was a real Breakthru, and probably saved a few rhinos or tigers from being eaten for same reason.
Lindsey Graham will follow the same career path when he leaves the Senate.
How stupid do you think people are?
I’m not a big fan of him, but that Vivek guy sure had it right:
I’m against defense contractors running for President in times of war. We’re marching to World War III & we shouldn’t elect a President whose family makes money from war - period. This shouldn’t be controversial.
It is always hard to tell which retread you are but I’ll guess “Rattlesnake_Snook”?
Sorry millions of Ukrainians had to die so the MIC could prosper. It’s the neoCON way.
