Inflation might be running at levels not seen for a generation, but Western militaries are seemingly keen to spend or ignore their way through these difficulties, with the past month seeing multiple multi-billion-dollar deal across the land, sea, and air domains.

The US unveiled its first B-21 Raider amid an enormous ongoing effort to recapitalise elements of its nuclear triad, while also signing on the dotted line in the FLRAA programme to deliver a new long-range assault aircraft to the US Army, providing the service with a tactical independence not seen since the inception of the US Air Force.

The US, naturally has provided the most in terms of resources, appears to be embarking on its own replenishment campaign to build up munitions and reserve stocks once again.
