Modern attrition warfare has exposed a structural flaw in military procurement. Cheap mass-produced drones are forcing defense systems to burn multi-million dollar Patriot and THAAD interceptors faster than factories can replace them. The bottleneck is no longer technological sophistication or prime defense contractors. It is raw manufacturing throughput. Invoking the Defense Production Act proves that real pricing power is moving down the supply chain to sub-tier suppliers producing solid rocket motors, guidance chips, and sensors. The defense supercycle is changing. Power projection matters less if you run out of munitions in week two. The future of the defense thesis belongs to industrial capacity and supply chain resilience. https://t.co/Ta9rii14Jm
