The advantage of [[dollar hegemony]] has thus slipped away and turned instead to [[liability]] -- the [[inflation|inflated cost]] of US munitions and their high-end engineering has resulted in [[sclerotic]] supply-lines, long production cycles and minimal [[weapon]] inventories.

The supposed tech superiority of US [[weapon]]s is being surpassed too, by ‘garage’ and ‘workshop’ gigs using cheap tech components. They generate innovation which is then picked-up and scaled after informal testing by ‘military authorities’.
