00:24and the Storm Shadow, is that Kiev is worried that the West is just going to run out.
00:33It's not going to provide enough and that's why they're making such efforts domestically
00:38that their arms industry is now believed to, you know, within a few months that Ukraine
00:43will be producing and capable of producing more drones than the whole of the European
00:48and NATO alliance put together and it is well way ahead there.
