Now that all of NATO's weapons and ammunition stockpiles have been shipped off to Ukraine, there is almost nothing left in its stockpiles.
NATO's Military Committee is pushing the alliance to increase arms production immediately as the "bottom of the barrel" is now in sight.
Dutch Adm. Rob Bauer made these claims on the first day of the Warsaw Security Forum, explaining that while NATO's military budgets were increased before the Russian invasion, the Western arms industry failed to increase production capacity.
"And that has led to higher prices already before the war. And that actually has (been) exacerbated by the fact that we now give away weapon systems to Ukraine, which is great, and ammunition, but not from full warehouses," Bauer is quoted as saying to TVP World.
"We started to give away from half-full or lower warehouses in Europe and therefore the bottom of the barrel is now visible. And we need the industry to ramp up production at a much higher tempo and we need large volumes."
