Industry and logistics are an integral part of an army. It doesn't stop at soldiers.

That's exactly what's happening in Ukraine: EU lacks (military and other) industry to support very capable soldiers.

The fact that France still has an industry is because they understand the above and value defense. If others did too, Ukraine would be in a better military position.
