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.

“The only way Ukraine can acquire wealth is by Piracy.”
They will just do like Corporations do to avoid debt after it is over. They will just change the name of their country and that will no longer make them liable for the debt.
We will never get paid back for any of it. How many have paid back? They are going to charge us even more to rebuild after it is over. It is foolish to even think we are getting one dime of this back.
During World War II, America sent the following military equipment to the Soviet Union as part of the Lend-Lease program:
400,000 jeeps and trucks
14,000 airplanes
8,000 tractors
13,000 tanks
It was a necessary evil to help the Soviets back then in order to prevent the free world from being conquered by socialist-nazism.
Today we are doing a tiny-micro-lend-lease to Ukraine in order to prevent the western world to become enslaved by Russian invasions.
I dont want to be enslaves by Russa. We need to think about our children’s future.
Appeasing and not condemning Russia’s war crimes, invasions illegal annexations should be inconceivable for any Westerner.
Live Free or Die.
May the Reagan-Churchill doctrine and morals prevail.
I think that Putin has made clear on pain of the use of nukes and escalating to WWIII that that is not going to happen. America got rich using seignorage in the petro dollar system to make profits making stuff and making the rest of the world pay for it. That has about run its course because we are shafting not only American workers but workers all over "our" global economic empire on which we have enriched ourselves. It's not entirely unlike the end of the Raj and collapse of the British Empire. Economic conditions among average people in Britain were not particularly great, socialsim started to get the upper hand and there was no support for military adventures to sustain and Empire from which few were benefitting.
That's what strategic over-reach and the collapse attendant to the retreat from empire looks like.
There is an immense industrial capability in Germany. Why are they not doing their share to help out in Ukraine? Maybe they'll like to be conquered by the Russians.
It’s nothing more than welfare for white people — including those who work for defense contractors, those who are the political lapdogs of those contractors (Lindsey Graham and Nimrata Haley and Joe Biden, for example), and even white foreigners in Ukraine.
Assuming the Congressional Uniform.
USA_FRANCE has been outed several times as a Ukrainian.
He cares only for Ukraine.
The UK paid back its WWII is got from America in 2006.
Every nation did, except for the Soviet Union
During World War II, America sent the following military equipment to the Soviet Union as part of the Lend-Lease program12:
400,000 jeeps and trucks
14,000 airplanes
8,000 tractors
13,000 tanks
You are already enslaved by GloboHomoNazi, and you enjoy it.
Oh, but they do give it to them. We pay for them. Biden admin has refused to use the Lend-Lease Act, because of the scrutiny on the funding/equipment and the cap on the amount being provided.
So, instead, we give it to them…10% for the Big Guy and his comrades. And then our resources must be replaced and also the conflict escalations are demanding more preparedness as we really are seeing WWIII here.
I have heard that same BS all my life. It is a total lie meant to brainwash. After all those wars following WWII we should be so rich that everyone is making a million dollars a year working at McDonalds. Do you really not see our National Debt?
You are either extremely ignorant to how cause and effect really works, you are invested in the Globalist/MIC corporations, or you are a damage control operator for these entities.
I just will not believe that anyone could STILL that blind to reality.
EU and European nations are together giving way more than what America does.

He's just Ukrainian?
And here I thought he was a GloboHomoNazi Shill Ukrainian.
“He cares only for Ukraine.”
I would go further in the bigger picture and say more like invested in the New World Order agenda and the MIC.
No one can still honestly believe in the old antiquated “We thrive from war” brainwashing propaganda.
“ Today we are doing a tiny-micro-lend-lease to Ukraine in order to prevent the western world to become enslaved by Russian invasions.”
______________
No we’re not. Not under the Lend-Lease Act. That’s capped at $100 million.
Also, it expired September 30th. They didn’t bother to renew it, because we’re giving them the funding and equipment and logistics and training all for free. It is our war escalation after all.
Don’t you think about Christian morality at times?
Dont you think it’s a normal thing to do, to continue giving billions to Israel so it can defend itself against Russia’s proxies: Iran and HAMAS? Israel is Americas ally.
Dont you think it’s a normal thing to do, to continue lending via lend-lease to Ukraine so it can defend itself AND the rest of Europe against Russia’s invasions and illegal annexations all over the place. Russia says Poland and the Baltic States are next...
Do you want Russia to invade all our allies? DO you think that will strengthen America in the long run? Really?
Do you want Hamas to run over Israel? Really?

How convenient you fail to list ALL the wars around the world we are funding simultaneously...
IT IS NOT JUST THE UKRAINE. How much additional for all the others???
Yep you, either work for, or retired from, or own stock in the MIC. Or you would not be trying to pull the wool over our eyes with this totally false perspective.
