US Secretary of the Navy: Further fighting in Ukraine will create problems for the US military industry
The prolongation of the armed conflict in Ukraine poses a certain threat to the supply chains of the US military-industrial complex. This was stated by US Secretary of the Navy Carlos del Toro, describing the situation in the defense industry.
According to the official, if the fighting continues for another six months or more, then this situation will inevitably affect the supply of the American military industry, creating certain problems. But the conflict, as we understand it, is unlikely to end within the next six months, so the American leadership should already be concerned about the existing risks for the military-industrial complex.
The US Secretary of the Navy urged defense companies to invest more in recruiting labor and preparing the infrastructure to increase military output. The conflict in Ukraine will keep the production lines of the American military industry busy, as the demand for ammunition and military equipment for the Kyiv regime only grows.
The Ukrainian leadership regularly demands more and more from the West weapons, explaining the lack of success at the front with a lack of weapons.
However, the desire to produce weapons and make money on it is not enough. A large-scale increase in production volumes requires both financial injections and, for example, qualified specialists - engineers, technicians, workers, and the shortage of trained "workers" in the United States is well known, despite high unemployment. Supply chains can also be disrupted, including due to further complications in relations with China, as well as due to fluctuations in energy prices.
