Of course it was all the amazing and innovative entrepreneurs who got rich very quickly in the 90s, for no reason in particular.
We're just watching the end of an RTS match where the player losing is hiding buildings around the map and building towers in hopes the winning player values their time enough to just quit

UKRAINE IS ABOUT TO FLOAT THEIR CC
One of my earliest realizations about the logistics and economics of war was from playing Age of Empires II when I was younger, where the late Imperial Age is often decided by the player who has the better map control (control of resources on the map) and production buildings to maintain a constant military production that eventually overwhelms your opponent’s and tilts the course of the battle to your side.
It is ultimately a game about managing your economy.

However, asked if production at the factory would have been expanded sooner had the Ministry of Defence put in orders earlier, the managing director said: "The earlier an order comes, the sooner we can ramp up production."
I’m no logistician, but surely sitting around and making artillery on demand is wholly inefficient when you know that your customer is desperate and needs as much as possible
But that would mean… maintaining an inventory!
Line could be less up!
And what if the war ends and there's nobody to buy the inventory! Gotta make sure that the cheque clears before you lift a finger.

Sir, have you ever considered that Russia’s artillery technology is based on cheap old Soviet trash with a hit ratio of 17:1 whereas our state-of-the-art NATO precision guided rounds supplied to Ukraine are made for one shot one kill?
Unless Russia produces their munitions seventeen times as fast I’m not worried.
are made for one shot
Counterbattery fire is something NATO isn't particularly skilled too since they use to fight opponents who don't have artillery.
🤣
the power of uh...
