The European defense industry is facing challenges in keeping up with Ukraine's demands, according to multiple sources. Launching defense programs in the EU can take between 5 to 10 years, making it difficult to meet the immediate needs of the Ukrainian military. The slow pace of production is attributed to the complexity and sophistication of EU systems, as well as bureaucratic hurdles. Efforts are being made to speed up production through joint ventures and licensing agreements with Ukrainian companies.
