LONDON — Britain’s Ministry of Defence must rapidly grow local industrial capacity in order speed rebuilding weapon stockpiles, the parliamentary Defence Committee says in a report to be published Mar 7.
The committee said at the current rate of progress it will take 10 years to replace weapon stocks gifted to Ukraine and rebuild British weapon numbers to an acceptable level.

30 countries, outspend Russia by magnitudes in "defence" spending...
The entirety of NATO and their proxy(Ukraine) are running out of ammo, can't produce quickly enough to keep up with Russia, and this despite the combined budget of 30 NATO countries which is magnitudes higher than the "weak militarily, economically corrupt" Russia, and yet...
How corrupt must the arms industry be in NATO countries? A combined defence budget of $1.2 Trillion. 20 times larger than the Russian defence spending.

And now, NATO are running out of ammo! All of this against, what we are informed is, a militarily weak and financially corrupt Russia.
