The draft of the first-ever US National Defence Industrial Strategy states that U.S. companies are currently unable to produce weapons fast enough to meet global demand, in particular because of the wars in Ukraine and Israel. This information is reported by Ukrainska Pravda, citing Politico.
The draft states that in its current form, the US defence industrial base "does not possess the capacity, capability, responsiveness, or resilience required to satisfy the full range of military production needs at speed and scale".
"This mismatch presents a growing strategic risk as the United States confronts the imperatives of supporting active combat operations", - the project states.
