About this report
In the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, NATO and EU leaders confronted the stark reality that Western defence supply chains were not prepared for a high-intensity war of attrition .
The war’s enormous consumption of munitions – with Ukrainian forces firing thousands of shells daily – quickly outstripped the West’s production capacity, exposing deep vulnerabilities in stockpiles and industrial readiness .
Key questions this report answers
- What vulnerabilities in Western defence supply chains and munitions stockpiles did Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine expose?
- How do force posture, readiness models and industrial surge capacity interact to sustain a high-intensity war of attrition?
- Which capability families, industrial-base actors and value-chain bottlenecks constrain critical supply-chain resilience?
- What technology clusters and structural measures are needed to close the gap between economic strength and industrial readiness?
