Second point is not true, even though Ukraine doesn’t have the same capacity for everything, it still produces some tanks and ATGMs. Also civilian planes with Antonov Plant (they weren’t too productive last couple of years though)

I think “production” here is not the most important part, even Russia uses mostly late Soviet era tech, slightly updated.

> it still produces some tanks

It mainly repurposes old Soviet tanks, unless you count ten or so of the T-84. I doubt Kharkiv Armored Plant is a viable tank production facility with all the fighting that goes around Kharkiv.

> Also civilian planes

These are called "targets".
