Pentagon requests increase in weapons production in the U.S.

The Pentagon is demanding that the U.S. defense industry rapidly increase the production and delivery of weapons, including ammunition. This pressure coincides with reports of Russian attacks on residential buildings in Odessa.

Steve Feinberg, Deputy Secretary of Defense, sent a letter to major companies in the sector requesting that they present "more ambitious delivery schedules and/or an increase in production capacity," according to publicly available information.
