News that, as surprising as this sounds, warm my Polish heart these days xd
Ah shit, here we go again…
„European countries are rushing to refill military stockpiles after U.S. President Donald Trump last year warned NATO members that they needed to spend more on defense and rely less on the U.S.“
Yeah Newsweek, that’s not the real reason for Europe’s arms race. Betrayal is the real reason.
Munitions supply actually has been the Achilles heel of the US in the Gulf. The greatestestestestestest military in the history of histories ran out of rockets and other crucial munitions quickly.
The very fact that the European military industrial complex is not as concentrated as the American one is an advantage, this has always been my saying. European munitions production has scaled up quicker, the companies move faster and enter joint ventures whenever it makes sense. Speed is crucial, because the threat is real – not just the threat in the East.
Logistics and supply is what eventually wins wars (or loses them). Nobody knows that better than Germany.
That’s not hard, considering how much the US ways in military spending is probably for over-inflated material to fill some bank accounts.
What could go wrong lol
Great to see, good work Germany.
Well done now teach Canada too, as well.
Ok they are talking about capacity not actual production.
And only certain ammunition from what I understand.
talent is talent.
The Germans are incredibly efficient and they have just been kicked into gear.
Well, let’s not rejoice too much.
Brilliant, now we just need to find someone else than the German tax payer to pay for it.
Bibi seems to like explosives maybe he will bite.
lol
How tall is that boss?
Would be kinda cool to see an all European team, i have a feeling we could take on literally anyone. Britain and Germany on the same side is kinda OP
Yeah, since America does not ship the stuff we bought although they already got the money, we do it alone.
*cracks knuckles* Alright, so I worked in U.S. munitions manufacturing for several years in Louisiana. The U.S. has very good “surge” capacity in small, to “medium” munitions production. When it comes to more advanced shit, you hit a wall with supply demand curves that make certain stuff either not viable, or very expensive to maintain. For example, the U.S. only makes somewhere in the ball park of around 1000 cruise missiles per year. Why only 1000? Because the damn things are expensive, and complex to produce. As a result, the manufacturer for it maintains only one facility. It has the know how, and ability to build out more facilities, and up production, but it would take time, and be very expensive. The manufacturer doesn’t have “surge” capacity in this area as a result. If the Trump administration depleted the U.S. stockpile of cruise missiles like a dumbass, there is no rapidly restocking. The military wasn’t really planning for a “let’s launch all our missiles in a month” war, because who is dumb enough for that. Turns out Trump is.
Jaja jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt. Wir steigern das Bruttosozialprodukt.
US isn’t a arty heavy, you need to make more
Do it.
It sounds good, i hope the Prussians are coming back to form, it’s been too long!
„Giant Boss“
Not surprising in the slightest.
