Russia appears on track to produce nearly three times more artillery munitions than the US and Europe, a key advantage ahead of what is expected to be another Russian offensive in Ukraine later this year.
It will have to adapt, but if I'm drowning in the ocean I also have to adapt by growing gills. Can I do that before I drown is the question. Personally I think I could because I'm smart enough. Can Ukraine adapt its complex AA systems to a very cheap counter in time to not be overwhelmed by that cheap weapon is the question that has to be asked. The cheaper thing they're fighting will only become cheaper and better with time while they have to invent the cheaper better missile as they're firing it to save the launcher. To me it seems like they're back to hunter-killer teams with MANPADs, which they already have and which we already see the full capability of.
