I agree. But it's also not a given that the US despite it's huge amount of resources, people, historical investment, and fiat currency can only produce 12 missiles a year and that is the hard limit without impossible investment.

What I'm saying is that you can't just flip a switch and scale that up overnight. It's going to be a process, and these things always take a lot longer than people anticipate. Consider how the US is still incapable of ramping up shell production for Ukraine after nearly three years of war. Producing artillery shells is much simpler than missiles, and yet despite billions having been poured in, there's little to show for the effort.
