As a small millitary subcontractor the contractor above us is already hidding to replace the artillery shells we have sent over. Projections say it will take until 2026 to replenish the stock.

I'd like to note that yes there is a lot of useless to us equipment being sent over that we won't miss, but what I don't see reported is we are also legitimately depleting rockets and artillery ammo that is our bread and butter pretty rapidly.

It's not to the extent that we couldn't still invade a country, but it has dipped well below projections to fight a 2 front war which is why theres actually a pretty serious eagerness to replenish certain subsets of the stock.

I just wanted to point out that it isn't all mothballed equipment being sent, I know that is pretty much what's being reported, but ilI review contracts daily that say the reality is we are sending stuff we have identified as vital to our core defense strategy as well and furthermore the stocks are depleted enough to put us behind the required amount set by the upper brass of the millitary in case of a global war.
