    If they increase output and Ukraine wins, yay Ukraine wins.

    If they increase output and Ukraine falls and Putin tempts fate by attacking the Baltics / Nato they’re already at increased output.

    Really it’s a win win at this point in terms of success or readiness.

      Hence the investments. They make sense. NATO has known for at least 2 decades their ammo stocks where insufficient for any prolonged conflict.

      Narrator:

      Politicians believed this type of conflict was of the past.

      They where wrong.
