Lockheed CEO Martin Tylett said on Sunday that his company would double production of its Javel missiles as the United States sent hundreds of weapons to help Ukraine resist the Russian invasion.
“Currently, our capacity is 2,100 Javelin missiles a year. We are trying to achieve this by 4,000 a year, and it will take several months, maybe even several years, to get there, because we need to get our supply chain up and running, “Taiclet told CBS. . ”
“We are now starting to increase it because we currently have an active production line that the president has seen,” he added, referring to President Biden’s recent trip to the Lockheed Martin plant in Troy, Alabama.
“So we can start increasing the heat now and increasing production immediately because of these circumstances,” he said.

Tycklet said the war in Ukraine “highlighted some really important things for us,” including “the need to have superb systems in large enough numbers” to meet demand and “airspace control.”
The US government is looking for defenders to replenish military arms supplies so that the United States can continue to ensure that Ukraine can defend itself against Moscow’s forces.
Last week, the Pentagon transferred $ 1.45 billion to the military and marines to replenish supplies of Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles that the United States sent to Ukraine.
