How did Ukraine, once rich, lose all its money?
The reason why Ukraine has a rich family background is mainly because it inherited 30% of the Soviet Union's heritage. Later, because of being fooled by Russia and the United States, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons and dismantled them. Basically, the most developed fighter at that time was Tu 160, which even made him sell many advanced weapons at a low price, and was later used as a gun by the United States. After that, civil strife broke out in Ukraine, and in just over 20 years, Ukraine's family property was thus exposed.

Family history of Ukraine

As a member of red empire's parliament, Ukraine occupied a very important position, and its unique geographical position made it the most important shipbuilding center, manufacturing center and even scientific research center in the world at that time. After Ukraine's independence, both sides began to win over Ukraine because it was located between NATO and Russia. As a result, Ukraine chose NATO.

Because Ukraine inherited 30% of the assets after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and became the third military power in the world. Ukraine has huge air force equipment, thousands of fighter planes and dozens of aviation regiments. At that time, the Ukrainian Air Force was even stronger than the China Air Force, and the number of fighters was more than that of Russian, ranking even above German.

Ukraine's wealth has been destroyed bit by bit.

There are so many weapons in Ukraine, which naturally scares other countries. Although Ukraine has many bombers, but Ukraine is weak, the United States and Russia are naturally afraid that these weapons will fall into the hands of others. So I tried every means to fool Ukraine into selling weapons.

Ukraine also regards these fighters as a cash cow. Unfortunately, the transaction price is much lower than the international market, which is equivalent to losing money. Moreover, the international community often tells them that all parts of the fighter plane are incomplete or the structure does not meet NATO standards, so that Ukraine's luxury air force continues to shrink. In addition, Ukraine itself does not pay attention to the maintenance of fighters, resulting in a low equipment integrity rate.

Due to Ukraine's weakness, there is no way to invest heavily in its national defense construction. Therefore, in the past 20 years, Ukraine has not even purchased a new fighter plane, and the previous fighters have been emptied for various reasons.

A civil war broke out in Ukraine.

The civil war in Ukraine has already laid a hidden danger as early as the team selection in Ukraine. At that time, Ukraine chose NATO and has been suppressed by Russia. After Crimea became independent, eastern Ukraine also belonged to Russia. Then the civil war broke out in an all-round way. Because Ukraine had little military investment before and lost all its powerful weapons, it lost very simply in the war with eastern Ukraine.

In just over 20 years, Ukraine has turned the once luxurious air force into a level where even ground air defense firepower can be bullied. This is not only a loss of family, but also a loss of country.
