Two Ukrainian companies plan to set up their own production plants in Western countries to make thermal sensors. This is the chip that lets thermal cameras see body heat in the dark. The new venture aims to give Western armies their own supply of these sensors.

Demand is behind the plan. According to Euromaidan Press, Ukraine uses up Europe's yearly supply of thermal sensors in about five months, so the current supply falls short.

The available excerpt of the source does not name the companies, say which countries the plants would be in, or give the investment size or construction timeline. That information therefore cannot be reported here.
