In reality Ukraine was the competent part of Soviet Union, who both did developed Russian Nuclear Weapons and Space Program (they navy, tanks, etc.). Hell! Ukraine still have space agency capable to make space rocket. It actually was not surprise that giving the time they could recreate own missile arsenal, considering that they literally are needed to maintain Russian ICBM's. Russians are mostly imperialistic clowns, who steal credit from others and pretend to be what they aren't.

[@tango_uniform]

The Soviet Union was run by inept dweebs who survived WW2 with the worst of the spoils. No missile engineers, no ball bearing plants. The scientists, strategic and tactical planners on their side of the Iron Curtain spent considerable time shaking their heads in gulags after they spoke up and flew the BS flag. Their only saving grace is that they continued development and refinement of rocket motors after they lost the race to the moon. That's why we relied on them to ferry our astronauts to the space station for years - make many dollars doing that. Close only matters in nuclear weapons, grenades, and your own tennis court.

Partially true. Most production facilities were in Ukraine and were designed there, BUT almost all chief engineers/designers were either born in todays russian oblasts and got their education in moscow by russians. Almost all ukrainians that are involved in any new military inventions (tanks, engines, arms) got their education in moscow too, by russians. Even if you dig more into the topic you will find out that even many of the ukrainian engineers that participated in someway are actually russians, because their parents originated from Russia and they were only born in Ukraine. This was quite often the case since most production facilities were in Ukraine and their parents had to move from Russia to Ukraine. These young men went back to study in Moscow and returned as engineers back to Ukraine.

One night I noticed a vac truck hotter than I’d ever seen (instead of the engine and exhausts being the hottest spots, the whole front of the truck seemed really hot, even the glass) and asked the operator who was busy working if he’d noticed, or if it was meant to be that hot?

At least a few hundreds where available by the beginning of 2022, but of course they were used up very quickly. Most troubles gave an old 6-wheeled chassis, no longer produced in Ukraine and parts hard to come by, so there was only 10 to 20 operational launchers available by 2022.

The Russians learned early on that they simply cannot hit defended targets. The russian missiles are a joke for anything like even vaguely modern air defences. So the Ukrainians have protected their most critical things, and then Russia just started killing civilians instead. That's why the Ukrainians are basically winning the war, Russia can't kill the whole population even though they would love to genocide Ukraine, and they can't prevent the Ukrainians from hitting russian economic assets (oil stuff) and russian logistics (ammunition dumps, fuel, etc). Because the Russian offensive capacity does not have the ability to hit defended targets, all they have left is meat waves and targeting civilian homes and hospitals and other civilian stuff. So Russia is losing their military equipment, while Ukraine is sacrificing some civilian lives. Thing is, tragic as the math is, russia will run out of military capability a long long time before Ukraine will rn out of people or land to slowly retreat to.

Both cargo capacity was in TONNES, bro - and meant to achieve velocities necessary for staying on orbit.

The USSR depended heavily on Ukraine's technological and industrial base. They also have long experience with nuclear technology. Putting together a breeder reactor for plutonium production is easily within their capabilities. If I were in their situation, I already would have.

[@charlesparr1611]

If they have not, it is merely because they still hope to avid that route, but if they need one it would not take long. Months maybe. The missiles are actually harder than the nukes, if you have plutonium you can build a perfectly functional bomb up to ten times the size of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki weapons in any decent machine shop. It aint that hard, its all ww2 technology, you don't even need electronics of any kind, just shaped charge explosives and two pieces of subcritical material that add up ton one piece of critical material. slap em together hard and you get a big big boom. Hell, high school kids have successfully built working bombs, everything but the plutonium, on several occasions.

Partially true. Most production facilities were in Ukraine and were designed there, BUT almost all chief engineers/designers were either born in todays russian oblasts and got their education in moscow by russians. Almost all ukrainians that are involved in any new military inventions (tanks, engines, arms) got their education in moscow too, by russians. Even if you dig more into the topic you will find out that even many of the ukrainian engineers that participated in someway are actually russians, because their parents originated from Russia and they were only born in Ukraine. This was quite often the case since most production facilities were in Ukraine and their parents had to move from Russia to Ukraine. These young men went back to study in Moscow and returned as engineers back to Ukraine.

[@southseasflying]

Yeah I'm not sure where people get this, the US education system is really a letdown. The Soviet and later Russian space program was led primarily by design bureaus in Korolev (ethnic Belarussian from Ukrainian SPR), Kerimov (Azerbaijani), Keldysh (Russian), Yangel (Russian), Glushko (Russian), Chelomei (Russian), Makeyev (Russian), and Chertok (Polish). Early engineers included Tikhonravov (Russian), Dushkin (Russian), and Vetchinkin (Russian-Polish) in early designs. Additional development in related technologies were headed by Isaev (Russian), Voskresenky (Russian), Pilyugin (Russian), and Chelmoey (Ukrainian). There were several offices for the space program design bureaus (OKB) with the primary being based in Leningrad and Korolyov in Russia. There was a design bureau in Kiev, and of course one in Dnepropetrovsk, that focused on design of the ballistic missile rockets with dual use for satellite launches, but had little to do with the manned space missions beyond the general knowledge in rocket technology they contributed. The spaceports were and still are located in Plesetsk and Baikonur in Russia and Kazakhstan respectively.

This will make Ukraine very much an important ally and it will bring in the big bucks later down the road. Of course there are some countries that wouldn't like that for example Poland who wants to be the new top dog in Europe.
