Unfortunately, China is supplying silk worms and other very potent arms.
Russia continues to supply katusha rockets and most of the small arms (ak-47's and modifications).
I hope it was that easy for defense contractors to switch to other sources of market share.
That would indeed make sense, but I think the "pork" demanded by state representatives will continue. The transition simply will cost too much, especially if a growing market exists.
