“U.S. smart-munitions stockpiles have become seriously depleted, and they mostly rely on More-than-Moore solutions,” TechInsights analyst Dan Hutcheson told EE Times.

Ukrainan sota on tyhjentänyt amerikan asevarastoja niin paljon, että monia ammustyyppejä ei ole enää varastossa, kuin ihan vähän. Jos Ukrainaan ei enää riitä ammuksia niin Ukrainan taistelukyky romahtaa. Ilmeisesti tämä edessä jo aivan lähiaikoina. Yhdysvallat tuskin pystyy enää kauaa toimittamaan huipputeknologisia aseita.
The DoD needs years to build a secure chip supply chain that doesn’t rely on Asian nations like China, according to Mike Rogers, former chairman of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
“We do have some unique capability in the U.S. to produce high end [chips], but the volume is not where it would need to be,” Rogers told EE Times. ”We supplement that with purchases all over the world, and China has a big part of that. If there are microprocessors that have been altered beyond what the specs are, that weapon system doesn’t even turn on when it’s supposed to, and we have a whole bunch of dead sailors, soldiers or Marines. Do I think it has made us vulnerable? I do.”
The CHIPS Act was designed to solve some of those vulnerabilities, Rogers noted.
“It certainly was a flawed bill, but it was still a step in the right direction to recognize that we have to have our own capabilities. We’re going to have to find out what is that right equilibrium of capacity in the U.S. in case something happens where we actually need those chips,” he said. “We are subject to people slowing down production or turning off production or having production delays. We should never have put ourselves in that position. We’re going to have to unwind it. That’s why you see serious amounts of money for investment in the capability of producing chips, either with strong allies or in the U.S. itself.”
The U.S. government should dedicate a portion of the $52 billion in CHIPS subsidies to military chip fabs because too much money may be handed to Micron, Texas Instruments and TSMC, Burns asserted.
“Then you haven’t changed anything for Raytheon, SkyWater and TSI Semiconductor,” he added.
“They’re tough business models. Their investors are not pushing capital in. One big problem is just how quickly that [production] ramps up.”

Putin tietänee, että amerikalta loppuvat kohta ammukset ja silloin Venäjää ei enää Länsi kykene pitämään aisoissa.
