Raw manpower is hardly the only aspect of war.

Especially in modern war.

Running out of fancy equipment, for example, causes quite a few problems if your opponent hasn't. Like interceptor missiles.

Currently conflict is a really good sales pitch for buying more interceptors.

You could expect order books to get so thick that production increases.

I mean looking from the side lines, I could see why many countries might want to have a few interceptors on hand. Just in case, it's certainly a nice way to buy some time.
