Ship building and shell production are on the polar opposite ends of time requirements for industrial capacity building....the fact that you used ship building as an example here makes me wonder if you're being intentionally disingenuous....

Also, you don't seem to understand how these funding programs actually work if you think this is being allocated to build out Ukrainian domestic production capacity.

Chip production might have different requirements from shell production, but it's a good example of how difficult it is to bootstrap an industry. Also, nobody is talking about allocating anything to Ukrainian domestic production capacity here. Maybe actually try and read that RUSI article till you understand what it's saying.
