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.
Defense industrial capacity in Britain has atrophied over the decades since the end of the Cold War and the British, along with their NATO allies, have been caught out ...
The report itself pointed up the growing problem. “It is clear that the U.K. and its NATO allies have allowed ammunition stockpiles to dwindle to dangerously low levels,” said the lawmakers. “It is clear that the manner in which Western governments procure armaments is not fit for purpose.”
Russia running out of missiles, ammo, tanks...
Russia weak militarily, old useless weapons...
Russia corrupt...weak economically, GDP smaller than...
NATO can easily defeat Russia, better weapons...
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. Russia have already been using around 8 times more artillery than the Ukrainians. Human losses, despite western media lies to the contrary, have a similar rate of attrition. And now, NATO are running out of ammo! All of this against, what we are informed is, a militarily weak and financially corrupt Russia.
