While Washington has promised to send almost $30 billion in military aid to Ukraine, as well as to replenish its own reserves, so far the Pentagon has signed contracts for less than $10 billion, the Wall Street Journal estimates.
At the same time, new large contracts have not yet led to a boom among Pentagon military contractors who are facing failures in the supply chain, a tough labor market and the arms procurement process, which can stretch for years.
Lockheed Martin Corp., one the world’s largest defense companies, who produces Javelin anti-tank missiles and HIMARS rocket launchers, claimed that it expects annual sales to decline for the second year in a row. Lockheed’s partner, Raytheon Technologies Corp., does not expect a sharp increase in sales until 2024 as well.
The US defense sector is down around 6% so far this year, underperforming the broader stock market by 12 percentage points.
A big problem for American arms manufacturers is the gap between the Pentagon’s statements about the amount of military assistance to Ukraine and how much it actually spends on buying new weapons from defense companies.
The high rates of ammunition consumption also came as a surprise to the US military productions, the WSJ writes.
By December, Ukraine had spent as many Stinger missiles as the United States had produced in 13 years, as well as missiles for Javelin complexes manufactured in 5 years, the Wall Street Journal writes.
US defense enterprises are trying to cope with orders, overcoming problems with a shortage of labor and production difficulties, which resulted from the need to expand production quickly.
Earlier, US Navy Secretary Carlos del Toro warned that prolonging the conflict in Ukraine for six months or a year would pose a threat to the supply chains of the US military-industrial complex.
Already in mid-November, CNN, citing sources, reported on the depletion of stocks of some types of weapons and ammunition in the US army. Including 155-mm artillery ammunition and portable anti—aircraft systems Stinger, anti-radar missiles HARM, surface-to-surface missiles GMLRS and portable anti-tank systems Javelin.
I get 10% on all US weapons sent to Ukraine, my name is Joe aka Pedo Peter
The wars have been a business for the U.S. in 1 way or another.
While you think it’s all about the deceitful liberals, the simpleton conservatives have been doing the same, go to check how much they have made from Iraq and Afghanistan. Keywords, Cheney and his war company Halliburton, for example.
Both parties just serve the elites, corporations and the Military Industrial Complex. Beyond that, the intention of the West is trying to destroy Russia, because they have become a super power again, they have a lot resources and unique ones, too, the West always hated RU and RU is not aligned with the economic system of the west nor their style of subjugating other nations. For similar reasons they also hate China. How the West got more of their money and power? By sabotaging, dominating, destroying and stealing from other countries. Anyone not in line or which tries to create a different system, the West gives them “democracy” in a “civilized” way.
Typical comment. The rest is organized in exact same ways and in the sockmarkets as well.
By that we have a raised livingstandard and age.
Elite as word makes no sense. Its old days just as Your neon colonialisme nazis and jews.
It must be in alcohol
My heart bleeds for these fat Porkers!
Very old marrige joke from UK. Carrie You over the doorstep. My name is Simpson and not Samson.
They can’t even figure out how to provide baby formula.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/fda-proposes-revamp-in-wake-of-baby-formula-shortage-11675184759
the bureaucrats shut the biggest plant down over some minor safety violation, lol
I am with bureaucrats this time. They are basically banning baby formula. Baby formula makes children dumb by 1 standard deviation. Bitches should feed their babies with breast milk.
I’ve a better idea, douche bags like yourself should be sterilized.
You are right but many cant and its also dor practical matters making a bottle or two for when the women are working.
Here in Denmark we only has very good replacements for babymilk. Its under govermenthal restrictions and control.
Its not that difficult. We only have 6 to 10 producers and some are all over the world. By that many controlers are not needed.
Thats how we often do here too. Sometimes You only see the top.
Thats the bad side of promotion.
We see many of that kind of examples. More govermenthal control is needed. More punishments might do it as well.
The procurement process is lengthy to allow maximal kickbacks. The supply chain has gone to China. The labour force is drunk, stoned and homeless.
Can you confirm The sun’s reports That Ukraine is using some kind of death ray on Russian troops They have shown Pictures
The Sun is Rupert Murdoch’s comic that masquerades as a newspaper, treat it like a comic.
Well the objective is to bleed the Russians and not bleed ourselves while trying to exhaust the Russians, besides the Americans announcing they would send tanks was just a Publicity Stunt, so that the Germans could send their Leopard Tanks, because the Germans said they wouldn’t not send any tanks unless the U.S. did.
It’s backfiring on them like everything else has. These fucking neocon are big on war but short on functioning brain cells, all of this should have been thought out beforehand.
if this report is correct it begs the question ,”how those who oppose sending more arms to Kiev without more oversight expect to carry out the same policy of confrontation and agitation against China?”
To add insult to injury, last May the Pentagon tried to order more Stinger missiles from Raytheon. Raytheon said “No Can Do” and the Pentagon ask “Why Not?”. Raytheon told the Pentagon “Because you canceled the Stringer contract in 2008 and the production facility was shutdown.”.
Planning, Oversight and knowing what assets are at their disposal is not the pentagon’s forte.
Western industry has been moving from volume & effectiveness to margin & “bling” for a good while now. It’s bad enough for consumer goods, but when it comes to war, it’s downright disastrous.
The Russian Army is the best

Let’s see zelensky in that russian courtroom, then talk about who needs what. Been some deeply criminal stuff gone on in the ukraine for many years and some people that need to talk to a judge in formal hearing, the kind where you could go to prison for life. Russia will have their work cut out for them cleaning this up but the day will come when all cards are on the table internationally and guilty parties get identified and dealt with
It’s obvious the US and West walked into this quagmire blindly and didn’t think it through

”Până în decembrie, Ucraina a cheltuit atâtea rachete Stinger câte au produs Statele Unite în 13 ani, precum și rachete pentru complexele Javelin fabricate în 5 ani, scrie Wall Street Journal.”
Asta inseamna ca ukraina este cel mai bun vanzator de arme ale americanilor ???
Good, about time the US saw they were biting off more then they can chew.
Western Nazi elites, now lead by the U.S. are losing again. Their supremacist brains can’t cope with the fact that they’re actually not superior than anybody else, if they managed to subjugate many nations in the past, it is because many countries used to be awfully fools to believe in their rhetoric of “freedom and democracy”, other just got intimidated by the aggressiveness of the Western countries. Now they didn’t comply with those requests, the West didn’t manage to isolate and ruin the economy of Russia and RU also worked to depend mainly on themselves.
Many EU countries don’t even have many natural resources, for the supremacists out there, what do you think it will happen, if the rest of the world stops working with Europe? What the U.S. would do if they didn’t buy and steal the oil from other countries? Similar to the guy that woke up thinking he’s better than everybody else, because he born in X place, the West would be nothing without the rest of the world.
Hah, no. That would be giving too much credit to the CAUKUS. The subjugation was due to fossil fuels. The UK had surface coal in the 19th century, where other countries had none. The US has 25% of all coal where other countries have none. The reason why this is changing is because coal is losing it’s importance while natural gas, solar power and to a lesser extend wind power have been making gains.
Russia has the most natural gas in the world and China after using up their smaller coal deposits is now taking the lead in solar, while importing Russia’s gas.
German foreign minister: ‘We are fighting a war against Russia’
Baerbock has publicly declared ‘a war against Russia’
to mark the anniversary of Russia sending its armed forces into Ukraine on February 24, Germany planning big provocations in front of the Russian embessy at 24th February and in front of the other Russian embassies also in new york too
WWIII is already here, USA dont want to collapse and needed this war so badly, he will go to the last Russian redline to create WWIII…. nice to meet you everyone.
US is a war economy
“War is the harvest of the juice” and Slumville USSA and its livestock is its farm.
War hasn’t been declared since World War II they are waiting for another Pearl Harbour Event. If War Powers are involed the constitution is muted, paused or ignored. Mass internement of Japanese citizens and the BBCI anti German campaigns show how dnagerous it gets. U.S system isn’t fundamentally an enemy of CHina or RUssia but when War Powers kicks in it becomes worse or equal to hardline dictatorships. I think the courts stay in play until Martial Law. Eagle Eyed observers could see battles over city councils and local courts often controlled by masons as deciding the outcome before a decleration of War. Nuclear wepaons can be used but its never been done.
Biden is Deep State but a wise guy. He needs ot stall to keep his party while idiots by up the proopganda. Republicans the same. British, Indians and ISraelis are looking to set up a stay behind or occupation over the bulk of AMerica and trump is helping.
nce the economy goes berserk you’ll find Wal mart gone and MIC factories often left in reserve kicking in. It will be like the STrategic Hmlets campaign for Americans while DARPA and MIC get their way. A good russian or chinese man would send aid.
Look u the WHeeler and Palfrey murders during the War on terror. There iwll be a NATO purge similar to how Russia had to clear ranks before a war. People know but its actually white trump moderates who are most vulnerebel after the capitol riot. Then Urban blacks. Hispaincs might do well being like the new Italians and Irish but its not their culture. Blacks are alrady too smart for this shit. Questions about whether it goes nuclear and the elderly can survivie. Republicans would prefr a dictarotorship than lost FLorida care homes as shown by RIshi in the U.K.
Big hint……get French, German, Scandanaivians dual citiens. DOn’t have to be intelligence but they will be less prone to being killed or blackliste din sweeps or spy hunts. Totally legal info like town registers and census data will get hot…..
Grandson Stick up…..
The cesspool USA is going to fight alone the dumb wars
Why are there no videos or articles on Russian supply chain problems?
Split up like that and even announce it as a failure makes no sense.
Most sendings from USA are already made stuff. Thats going as a clockwork and very visible.
The socalled failure or delay is there too. No companies here can have production capasity for things, which hardly are used. When they suddenly are,You have to make a new factory and find emploers for it.
None says the american military should produce all that stuff. Its abiut best to the price and whoever can or not. Fx the BAE conglemorate is all over the world. we all can be owners by the stockmarket.
Its terrifying the article still is in country old days mode. Our world is not like that. We in the westyern economies produce for and with each other.
Very much is not even visible. Denmark produced several of the smallest most advanced parts of advanced military systems. We are not visible at all.
BUT we are visible in 4 gadgets a the american marslander as well as in microsatelites. Thats the civile part only.
