Even if the guns fall silent in Ukraine, Russia’s economy may never step off the battlefield.
Years of massive defense outlays have locked the country in a state of militarization that’s transformed factories and sucked in hundreds of thousands of workers. The surge has helped prevent the economy from shrinking — making retreat perilous.
The Kremlin has no intention of pulling back. President Vladimir Putin sees a lasting need for a well equipped Russian fighting force — something Western leaders fear he could unleash on NATO within five years — and wants to embed the thriving defense industry into his long-term vision.
While he draws up his plans and Europe splashes billions on retooling its armies in response, the question will be what happens to the glut of tanks and missiles Russian factories are churning out.
The glut will be sold to the world and there is a war coming to other places in the world.

Yeah, that what happens when a country is at war for years.
It turns into a war economy.
The war wouldn’t last that long otherwise.
It should go without saying.
