At least Trump will stem the bleeding, but he or his surrogates also need to root out the corruption and inefficiency of a MIC that produces astonishingly little for astonishing amounts of money.

Double edge sword. Replacing obsolete systems, good. Spending extra cash now, bad.
I dunno what's right and good. Glad we have the best folks in place to make these choices. Republic.

To be fair, there is still a chip shortage. Raytheon has said repeatedly that they are being limited by the supply of secure chips.
Our US chip industry was basically destroyed some years ago and now it is biting us in the arse.

On the flip side, we have no domestic TNT production. We shut down the last plant in 1986. McConnell has gotten the 485 million dollar pork prize to build a new TNT production facility in Kentucky. It’s going to be built and run by a Turkish company, way to go Mitch /s.

The US is now producing over 50,000 155mm artillery shells per month, and will produce over 100,000 shells per month by next year.
The US has already tripled prewar shell production and is on track to increase it by over 600%.
