As someone famous said, "Quantity is a quality on its own"

Don't think that the West will go for "quantity over quality" in its arms' race with China/Russia, it has stopped doing that for at least 30 years (since they scrapped most of the Cold War-related arms industry).

quality will have a diminishing return over time as your enemy adapts as has been shown with excalibur and even himars in this conflict. wunderwaffe don't win wars
