The profit margin on these weapons are in the ballpark of 300-3000%, and every middleman on materials and parts along the way does the same song and dance for more handouts.
The question is, have the bourgeoisie any capacity left for self discipline? Once a shooting war starts with a peer power, will they be able to forgo these juicy profits to ensure their own survival? Their response to the climate crisis says no, but that's still a rather abstract problem to most people. The COVID response also say no. Will the fear of dying in a Chinese prison camp finally do it?

Well the Russian boug seem to be managing.
The Russian military industrial complex is (at least mostly) state owned
Yeah but the state is mostly boug owned. I've heard it framed as Russia having a national industrial boug while the NATO blob has an international financial boug. The Russian boug have to cooperate to protect themselves from predation by the international financial boug.
Not really, it is more like one half of bourgeoisie eating the other half.
