They already threw everything at it at the beginning and for the counteroffensive. Russia just outproduced them all
A big reason for this is because the west are not asking difficult questions like "should people be making a profit on all these weapons we are making or should we consider streamlining the weapon production process by nationalizing"
The west certainly could compete, but it won't. Because for the US this is not a war of survival, this is just another day of laundering public money with another war.
The west can't compete, it moved all manufacturing to the global south and China.
The number one thing we can learn from Russia and China is this: Don't rely on other countries for your food and weapons. Self sufficiency in those areas are a matter of national security and national cohesion.
Neglecting those 2 are ultimately what is finally going to end western hegemony.
Can't enforce a dollar hegemony if you don't have the weapons to back it up.
