So far, there's been very little actual expansion of military production. There's been a bit in the US and practically none in the EU. The reality is that even if companies committed to this, it can't be done overnight. You need trained workers skilled in trades, you need to build factories, you need secure supply chains, and so on. All of that takes years to implement. Real life isn't like video games.
