Racing Re -Arrangement: What are the problems with an increase in weapons production - NYT

In the West, there are still problems with procurement and investment coordination in the defense sector. According to the EU plan, 50% of defense investments should be common, but now the real figure is 18%. The full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war has led to the fact that more than 30 countries are now increasing the cost of defense. Countries are desperate to increase weapons production. About it reports The New York Times. The Allies of Ukraine have reduced defense costs for years.

Now this has led to the need to restore production capacity, restore lost supply chains, and fight delays. However, this process has a number of problems, journalists write. "Europeans have not paid attention to a deeply fragmented and disorganized way in which they form their forces. Increasing inconsistent investment will only improve dysfunctional status quo slightly," the Center for Strategic and International Studies said.

The Swedish Company's executive director Michael Johansson said the quality of applications and joint action. "Every country decides what type of opportunity it needs," says Johansson. Each country has its own strategic culture, practice of procurement, specifications, processes and priorities. NATO members can use the same aircraft with different encryption systems and tools.

Moreover, the Ukrainian military found that the 155-mm projectile is not necessarily approached by the howitzer of another manufacturer. In addition, there is a shortage of explosives on which all ammunition manufacturers depend. There is also little debate on how to increase the supply of explosive. Last year, the annual review of the European Defense Agency showed that only 18% of EU investments are jointly made, and 50% should be.
