materiel

Peter Thiel-backed Quantum Systems, which makes mainly surveillance drones, was among the first Western companies to donate materiel to Ukraine back in 2022.

Some EU countries wanted to use the programme to finance the purchase of materiel from outside the bloc, notably from the United States.

Mr. Putin purportedly thought that his troops would parade through Kyiv only a few days after attacking Ukraine in February of 2022, which is why many Russian units were outfitted with only a few days’ of materiel and supplies.

The women took jobs as welders, pipe fitters, and other posts that had only ever been held by men, and produced war materiel at a record clip.

At the same time, the Israeli military launched an all-out air campaign to destroy Assad-era materiel it feared could be used against it in a future conflict.
