It's more likely that the response will be too slow than fast and overwhelming. ULA likely took advantage of their monopoly to underinvest in lower-cost technologies, and the lead time to correct that could be very long.

Under-invest? You mean not invest at all? While I get that Russia had rockets that were perfectly functional, they appear to have made no efforts at all in developing a more efficient in-house replacement.
