This is from memory so don’t take it as fully accurate, but I believe Ukraine was something like the world’s 6th largest arms manufacturer prior to the 2014 invasion of Crimea. They know how to make things go boom.

A bunch of that manufacturing and design capacity is gone from the war or from lands captured since 2014 though. I agree though, as a nation, it is no stranger to the defense industry.
