Isn't most titanium sourced from Russia? (Ironically, that may include the titanium used in modern Western howitzers to make them lighter and helo-transportable.) If so, we may see some shortages in the future?

Similar story for the SR-71, it was mostly made of titanium sourced (indirectly of course) from the Soviet Union.
