The Russians seem to have destroyed remarkably little of that. And the critical part is the personnel, not the buildings. You can ship in machine tools into some ex farm building and restore production of something. Or, indeed, just speculating, you can send your guys to Romania and have them make Stugna ATGMs there. Strategic depth is useful.

I doubt Russian boys bleeding out and dying in the cold dirt of Ukraine tonight are “laughing”. Despite 9 months of genocidal attacks Ukraine is still Ukraine. Hilariously, that drives the fruits and nuts of the internet crazy.

Good point. The Soviets undertook a titanic effort to dismantle their factories and transport them to safer sectors in Siberia and the Caucasus….more than 30,000 tanks by the end of 1942….like then, Russia today has no shortages of commodities, metals, materials, unlike the West.
