About this report
The return of large-scale, high-intensity war to Europe has exposed the strategic importance of defence industrial capacity as a foundation of credible deterrence. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 demonstrated that advanced weapons alone are not sufficient – sustained conflict hinges on having deep reserves of ammunition, explosives and spare components to maintain operations over time .
Early in the war, Russian industry surged output to levels far beyond Europe’s peacetime production, creating a dangerous gap. By early 2024, Russia’s war economy was reportedly manufacturing as many artillery shells in three months as NATO Europe produced in an entire year .
Key questions this report answers
- Why has defence industrial capacity, including deep reserves of ammunition, explosives and spare components, become foundational to credible European deterrence?
- How does the gap between Russian wartime output and NATO Europe's peacetime artillery-shell production expose structural bottlenecks in the value chain?
- Which industrial actors, capability families and force-posture requirements shape joint procurement and industrial integration?
- What roadmap, financing and industrial-base measures are needed to sustain high-intensity operations over time?
