Citing low munitions stockpiles, the Pentagon is urging weapons contractors to accelerate missile production, doubling or even quadrupling production rates, to prepare for possible war with China.

As has been pointed out, it's far more profitable to be doing "on the job" design of weapon systems than actually building them. Possibly we are donating weapons to Israel, but in the case of Ukraine, the offer is cash on the barrelhead. Apparently, the incentive to sell more weapons is not enough to pump up actual production. Maybe the possibility of imminent peace is a deterrent as that would cause plant expansion at the same time as demand reduction?
