Good news, but too slow!
"French defense and technology giant Thales is manufacturing the Starstreak for the first time in 11 years as Ukraine uses it to help repel Russian attacks. It is the latest example of how Ukraine’s demand for weapons, combined with Western governments’ increased military spending, is reviving once inactive production lines. The relaunch could take more than a year, Thales said, underlining how the complexity of manufacturing weapons and industrywide supply-chain issues slow down Western rearmament in the face of rising geopolitical tensions. The British-commissioned Starstreak was designed in the 1980s during the Cold War before entering service the following decade."
