Here’s the latest at the end of Friday. Major contractors like Lockheed Martin are looking to bring on new suppliers for missile programs.Rachel Woolf for The New York Times 1. U.S. arms production can’t keep up as the war in Ukraine drains supplies, leaving the military watching as its stocks of some key weapons dwindle. In the year since Russia invaded its neighbor, the U.S. has sent $33 billion in military aide to Ukraine. President Biden and other U.S. officials have committed to continue the support for Ukraine for as long as it takes. But without an anticipated end-date, the outflows of American weapons are [becoming a significant concern for Pentagon officials](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmAKLHP0TraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8yNC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9taWxpdGFyeS13ZWFwb25zLXVrcmFpbmUtd2FyLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzAzMjQmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODg1OTQmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTI4Njk1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkHccdHmRPqMAsUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). By dispatching so much of its weapons stock to Ukraine, the U.S. discovered that it lacks the capacity to produce the level of arms needed at a time of heightened superpower tensions. For example, the U.S. sent Ukraine so many Stinger missiles that it would take 13 years’ worth of production at recent capacity levels to replace them. To address the issue, the Pentagon is growing its procurement budgets and abandoning some of the cost-cutting changes embraced after the end of the Cold War.
