On the other hand, supplying sufficient firepower to the Ukies severely limits the few remaining weapons we could deploy against the CCP invasion of Taiwan.
So it’s tricky, isn’t it?
All due to insufficient deterrence in advance.
The west could pull its collective finger out now and go into full scale armaments production. And considering they managed to integrate storm shadow to deploy from obsolete soviet aircraft within a few weeks when it usually takes years to integrate any weapons system I think we are more than capable of stepping up and making sure Russia loses AND we fulfill our own stockpile needs and need to accelerate the introduction of new weapons.
