Some artificial spending number <> actual military capability.

It may be necessary, but not sufficient.

Look at Poland.

They are spending big, but on high tech gold plated toys like F35 and Abrams.

The lesson form the Counteroffensive is they should be buying artillery guns, artillery shells, landmines, entrenching equipment and drones.

But the MIC isn’t interested in high volume, low margin weapons, those get made in gov’t owned factories.

The MIC wants complex high cost low volume gold plated weapon, which have much more scope for bribes, payoffs and ripoffs for the elite.
