U.S. aerospace manufacturer Bell Textron has established a subsidiary in Ukraine for industrial and defence cooperation involving helicopter assembly, maintenance, and repair.

Ukraine and Bell Textron have a recent history of cooperation, with this current move likely being related to a future sale of AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters and UH-1Y Venom utility helicopters.

I also expect we will see an increase in attacks on motorcycles again, as those proved successful for them in the past.

Unfortunately my reach there is still throttled, and has remained so since November 2025. But this change is better than nothing I guess. It also conveniently occurred right after I stopped focusing on the Middle East 😁
