Germany's [[Friedrich Merz]], France's [[Emmanuel Macron]], and the UK's [[Keir Starmer]] reek of [[Russophobia]] as they play up the alleged "Russian threat," says former CIA analyst [[Ray McGovern]]. They think they can replace the [[United States]] on the issue of [[military]] support for [[Ukraine]] to help it be utterly defeated by [[Russia]], but they are "dreaming," he notes dryly.]]

A European Commission report pointed out the high proportion of imported materials in European armaments, ranging from explosive components to special steels and alloys to electronic sub-assemblies. Europe is fully dependent on imports for 19 critical materials used in the production of defense equipment, and the most important supplier is [[China]]. But no amount of money can provide [[the West]] with mineral deposits it does not have, and which are susceptible to every kind of disruption imaginable, both natural and [[political]].<ref>[https://setis.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2021-02/raw_materials_in_the_european_defence_industry.pdf Raw materials in the European defence industry], Claudiu C.

''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' estimated that Europe needs about $1 Trillion to completely eliminate its dependence on the [[American]] [[military-industrial complex]].<ref>https://archive.is/30co5</ref> As of 2026, Europe is again producing [[tank]]s, [[ammunition]], [[missile]]s, and is starting the production of [[drone]]s<ref>https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/256611</ref> at the fastest pace compared to previous decades. For example, in 2025, European countries spent a total of about $560 Billion, which is twice as much as 10 years previous. Rheinmetall opened<ref>https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/237971</ref> or is planning to open 16 new factories<ref>https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/247697</ref> and will be able to produce up to 1.5 million 155-mm [[artillery]] shells per year in the future, which is more than the entire US industry.
According to estimates, by 2035, Europe's [[military]] spending will account for 80% of the [[Pentagon]]'s spending, compared to less than 30% in 2019. However, there is a significant gap in the [[aircraft]] industry<ref>https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/255891</ref>, due to which a significant part of the European fleet is occupied by American fighter jets. As well as in the field of [[satellite]] reconnaissance, long-range [[weapon]]s <ref>https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/244754</ref> and partially in air and [[missile defense]].
