NATO member states must be prepared to expand their industrial capacity in the defense industry if they are to keep pace with Russia. This message comes from US President Joe Biden in connection with the NATO meeting in Washington.

We cannot allow the alliance to fall behind, critical defense equipment must be produced faster, said Biden in a speech.

Several defense companies have significantly increased their production in recent years, but also face a number of challenges, something that Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson sees as a problem at present.

Right now, it's a major challenge because all countries are "stepping up" at the same time, just like all companies, Kristersson told TT at today's press conference.

There is a shortage of very many things, the defense industry is complex and is not built out very quickly.
