I am perfectly aware where this town is.
I have even driven through it twice.
The (failed) argument here was about soviet methods, & competency.
At the time when most of the industrial base of Eastern Ukraine was laid, it was part of the USSR.
The old capital was Kharkhiv,- a city still producing serious amounts of aerospace, defence & nuclear hardware to this day.
Contrary to the opinion expressed, not all of this is "knocked off" western technology.
(OT slightly)
It's reasonably well documented, "humanitarian convoys" into the DNR conflict zone have scarcely been noticed for more than a year, looting whole factories relocating them back inside Russia.
They were assumed to be
empty.
You can do quite a lot of moving with 2500 x 30T truckloads of stuff.
So much for "level playing fields".
I'm sure China doesn't need to steal technology.
The west will just give it to them.
