Russia is currently sourcing armaments from North Korea. While we should increase our output and improve our defense industrial base, that does not mean we should look at Russia as an example.

They are stuck sourcing ancient armaments from the DPRK all while spending a super charged amount of GDP on the war effort which will have its own knock on effects.
