Sure, you think US Army is Soviet too...

I specifically asked about NATO, not our mess. German standard is 44. US standard is 36. Russian standard is 27. UK has 56 and calls it a regiment, with a third being reserve. Whole UK has 3 regiments. Italian standard is 41 also in regiments. Poland has a very highballed number, so it's...

What is the point of even trying to explain it to you when you either don't know how many tanks are in a NATO battalion or have no idea how many tanks we have by a huge margin? We have 5 battalions with spares of Leopard 2's alone. We have more than that in other tanks.

Let's not forget one thing you produce in amount sufficient for a whole country. Bullshit. As demonstrated here. You could supply whole NATO with it by yourself.

Mostly German's not ours, and unlike us, the Germans actually vote for this shit, they even got greens in their government. They stopped Germans from doing that with Ukraine. But not just any shells, they were picky about who and how produces them, with what components and other red tape...

No, we don't have the money for fit for 55, the EU has money for that and makes it the law for there to be money for it. If i was the dictator of EU i would shift 100% of bullshit green funds to defense for as long as Russia doesn't demilitarize and tell everyone who complains to go pester...

Do we have the money and technology for that? The politics of keeping the money and not electing a government one time who will sell off the useless factory would be a menace here. And here you eat up the propaganda of anti western side that the West has no production capacity...

Japan has stupid laws about that so it's hard to arrange. If we go bankrupt before war that is a problem. IV Reich will laugh at us if we have factories for making chemicals that don't make chemicals because no one wants the chemicals now and we don't know if anyone will want them ever.

Do we have any data if they are worth it other than their advertising brochures? Sweden was not in NATO and was making its own fighters since WW2, and they had money for it as they didn't get ruined in WW2, so they had an experience and industrial base. Still, it's not the cheap fighter some...

We did not have modern fighters, but we had a lot of domestic fighters, they just weren't modern, kinda ruining your point. but as i always complain, if we had domestic fighters now, they would not be modern either. We are talking basic chemistry there, not some exotic electronics, we probably...

https://nitroerg.pl/ They probably do, and if not, any nitrochemical plants can fairly easily start doing so with wartime order if need be. The question is, if no one does, how much would it cost, and would our ammo plants pay 2x as much for it being domestic?

Not much better, and we do produce it, even superpowers need imported components sometimes with this stuff, only North Korea doesn't and theirs are scrap value. What will they use them for instead? Russia is not an economic superpower like Germany in 1939, and is in the east, not the middle. In...

Depends if you are trying to make WW1 shells with WW1 range and reliability, or modern ones. In modern ones, the tolerances, additives, grain specifications and so on are indeed a very big deal. Otherwise you get North Korea grade ammo where half the shells can't even hit an island. Against...

How does he know? He's a former general and he doesn't have access to the business deals of all our defense companies. There certainly are some imported components, but that goes for all advanced NATO stuff, including American. For one electronic components for sure are mostly imported. So i...

Again, you have no clue, even about own country. https://www.polskieradio.pl/395/7786/artykul/3225674,poland-among-europe%E2%80%99s-leading-ammunition-producers-ceo

Perhaps in the 70's. But now the cool new thing is using drones to force enemy ships to deplete their VLS cells. 200 attack drones is pennies compared to a ship. Even some cheaper AShMs would be worth less than that kind of ship. The problem is that after some attacks these ships need a...

Is it greater mobility? Most of our country is not within ~100km of sea. Being in one place as i said is not a good thing. If for a strange reason you need to concentrate truck based SAMs, no problem to deploy them in one place. But again, why would you want to. You can have it spread over few...

Tech wise you have a very... relative point. There's nothing special making ship based SAMs better or cheaper than land based. Hell, some repurpose one the other way in general, both west and east. Ships also aren't equal in AAW capability, so don't think Mieczniks will be DDG(X) or something...

Was a common thing in Cold War UK chiefly, not so much anymore. That sounds more reasonable, but still, is a hyper-specialized vehicle like that worth it? The armor and mobility of such vehicle would be heavily limited by such specs. At that point, if you want a way to relatively cheaply hit...
