Bit of a segway here, but reading all these updates of permissions required, run down equipment and how long this stuff takes to produce (even bullets), I hope we never invaded by aliens.

Looking on google, F-22 Raptor as an example, only 195 were produced in 15 years before they stopped making them. That is 13 a year. Crazy how slow.

F-35s apparently they are built at about 2-3 a week, You would think with the enhancements in manufacturing we have today they could scale up during a war (like the one we have now) to do 10 a week, but yet they plot along at their 2-3 a week rate.
