Rheinmetall? The company that built those Leopard tanks that were all blown up in like a month? 😂
A billion dollars just doesn't buy as many guns and bombs as it used to!
i don't know if this can be trusted:

but the west Chronically overproduces weapons and has to look for ways to dump them somewhere.
remember how we "forgot" $40 billion worth of weapons in Afghanistan while pulling out ?
i remember reading US Military pleading with government to stop making weapons all the time but the government is like no you need more weapons !
because Blackrock and Vanguard own all of the defense contractors as well as all of the mainstream media and the military does what they are told

Tanks aren't very relevant in modern warfare ( Drones are ) but this is just an example of how serious ( if the article is to be believed ) NATO are about re-arming.
