It’s a good thing then that Hellfires and Apaches aren’t very relevant in a Naval war vs China either.

There is no such thing as a “hard cap” for anything. It’s a matter of adding production capacity or minor redesign to replace obsolete components, which is a chronic problem with much US equipment. Such ongoing tweaks are massively burdened with process and bureaucracy however.

Okay, however… current production hard cap means in an all out 6 week shooting war there is no incoming production restock.

The main point is any war at this point is what you have in stores when the shooting begins. We aren’t building replacement tanks, planes and carriers and rushing them to the front again.
