Euronews fact checked the statement and found that ammunition production may have been approximately four times more than that of the NATO Alliance in 2024. On paper, NATO’s economy is 25 times bigger than Russia’s once again illustrating that GDP measure doesn’t tell you much of anything about the real economy.
Luckily, wars are not won by supply lines but by funneling infinite cash into R&D for Lockheed wunderwaffen.
Amateurs talk about logistics, professionals talk about how badass a high-tech wunderwaffe is and it’s all you need to win a war
Nice infantry you fuckin nerd, but do you have a trillion dollar plane that requires the cost of supplying your entire front for a month every time it goes 5 feet off the ground?

It’s Anduril now and Kratos Defense
Andruil is more of a means to counter the current issues as opposed to perpetuate them. They operate on a sales based model (i.e. 1 missile is always 250k and that’s the only transaction the gov makes) as opposed to a contact-based model that the legacy contractors use. This means that there’s less classic contract grift and less profit per item. It is, of course, significantly less efficient than a traditional state-owned defense industry where no money is lost to profit, but the Pentagon knows they’re going to be in hot water soon and are trying to make things a bit more efficient.
