Not many, but we

  • don't need them if Ukraine uses them to fuck russia up

To be fair, not too many could predict that Ukraine would still be there 2 weeks in. And Afghanistan was fresh in mind, or South Vietnam.

Production at the rates that Ukraine uses, needs and will need when they go back on offence isn't something that can be kept up during peacetime, nor maintaining the unused capacity to do it when there is not such war or buyers.

2 weeks in? They could have done it 6 fucking months into this thing and this wouldn’t be a problem.
