And the thing is, when Western arms blow up, there’s no huge warehouse from which to replace them - that’s all spent, as we operate on a Just-in-Time format. So we’ll replace them, in about 3 years, and only if a trans-friendly company can be found to do the manufacturing.

The US military does NOT operate on a just in time format.
It manages inventories. Current production may not be sufficient to meet immediate needs, but that is true about peacetime production at the beginning of all wars. And take that as you will.

And for that matter no Nato military that I know of does just in time.
