Well, M3 Lees were sharing hull design with M4 Sherman, only difference between them in the earliest version was the giant gaping hole in the front right that fit with the 75mm gun. This was because that M3 Lees were design to be a stop gap solution when the turret of M4 didn't met standard in time, so they need a big tank with a big gun to fight in north africa and M3 is born.

*And you forget that all these systems have their own unique control interfaces.* Which makes it extremely hard to attack every system at once. Not too mention if you can hack the powergrid in some town, it doesnt give you the power to turn off the powergrid in the entire nation. In short its highly unlikely to carry out a significant attack this way. *And its pretty UNscary...* Even if you can control the traffic lights of some small town or city, how long would it take for people to start ignoring the lights and how long before they regain control.

A world war now would look like the cold war (which never ended) with indirect, economic, political, phycological, and proxy warfare all together. It would gradually but exponentially escalate into a very short, very fast, very destructive hot war. Basically most people would not realize the world was at war until it is basically over because the direct hot war would be the wrap up phase.
@Concerned Citizen yea, probably the smartest way to win a war is by getting the enemy to fight themselves until they almost collapse and the you rush in and nudge them the rest of the way off the cliff.
@H yeah, although right before it erupts into all out chaos and civil war I suspect you would have actual Russian GRU, Chinese MSS, and Iranian guard corp operatives launch nation wide attacks on government, utilities, and economic centers. I mean if the US is occupied then Russia can steamroll europe, China can swarm east asia and the pacific, and Iran and their allies can take most of the middle east. Their are also a few socialist/communist states in africa and central and south america that would also attack their neighbors. Then after russia and china consolidate and genocide their new subjects into submission they can focus on the US which would have been destroying itself for a year or two.
Technicaly the cold war was already the third world war. It was just made with new technologies of the time You still got violent engagement between the two blocs, the two side. World war 3 already happened, killed thousands of people around the world, and ended when the reds collapsed

Bizarre analogy. The world was equally visible during WWII. When Nazi Germany began attacking Britain in 1940 they knew exactly where the important industries, shipping yards, ports and logistic centers were. When they planned a sneak attack on the USA (which never happened due to the long distance) they had already earmarked the most important industrial centers - most of them building aircraft in fact - to strike in an attack. Intelligence gathering from local spies, aerial recon and peacetime reports was the norm. Even Imperial Japan which had very little experience with the USA, was well aware of the industrial output of the American industry, which is why it planned on a short and decisive all-out war over a year - otherwise they were well aware they could never win once the civilian industry had made a full transfer to making military equipment. The real issue is the destructive power of modern weapons. Just conventional ones turn cities into rubble. With nuclear weapons we're ALL wiped out and the few survivors are back in the Middle Ages.

In all likelihood, we'd end up going down the route which think tanks are expecting. A shock, I'm sure. MBTs would be replaced by smaller, faster, off road vehicles which can get away from artillery fire and use APS for protection against heavy weapons. Fighter jets would get simplified. The main benefit of 5th gen fighters is sensor fusion. So along as sensors half as capable and connected as the F35s can be produced in wartime, then a half-decent fighter can be built to pad-out the air force. Carriers will still be built, probably the ski-jump variety. Clusters of Hyper velocity projectiles, with minimal guidance systems will replace smart bombs. They'd only need to know how close they are to each other, and only a few would need to understand how far they've drifted off course, and even then, it wouldn't need to be super precise.
I think it is less likely fighter jets will be simplified, and more large drones will be used to supplement fighter jet roles. These could be new models, or drones built from modified older jet designs & parts. They have all ready tested turning a F16 into a drone. Imagine a drone swarm of 1000 F16 drones. Hundreds would be shot down, but no air defense in the world could stop that swarm from it's mission. Fighting it, would only deplete your AA of limited advanced missiles.
@@TheNinjaDC If they would have the means to produce drone F-16s during a high intensity war, then how would they have trouble building more F35s? Those drone F-16s were also not being used to replace or supplement the 4th gen fighter fleet in combat. They were used as targets for weapons tests and wargames. A target drone needs to be unmanned because you are shooting at it, or when not using it in a live weapons test, are still flying the plane in ways which are unsafe, and not worth risking a pilot who isn't in combat or combat training. I don't see large remote operated planes being used in a WWIII beyond the initial stages. They need satellites for command and control, if not to be directly operated by a remote pilot. If that connection is compromised, the UAV is a liability. And sophisticated guidance systems are required not just in the drone, but its weapons for it to actually be useful in combat. Even in the GWOT, MQ-1 and MQ-9s which lost connection would just crash. Newer drones might not be as vulnerable, but a manned aircraft still has the benefit of being manned. A drone is only advantageous when the pilot in the cockpit is a limiting factor. In all out war, the pilot is an asset, and a remote connection is a security and survivablity risk. Drones are not magic, they are not more capable than manned vehicles (aside from when the drones need to be smaller than manned vehicles), and they do not bring quite as much to the table as some people think. It's a shame that we don't see the real benefit of the drone, and keep trying to push the technology into roles which aren't its strongest, and where it isn't even the strongest. Butterfly bombs with parachutes instead of metal drogues and drone pods like the next gen windmills are expected to use represent the correct way to utilize drone tech. Small kamikaze drones that are the size of a javelin missile and can be used to hit an insurgent position in a fraction of the time or cost of calling in an airstrike represent the correct way to use drone tech. Small parasite fighters that can be attached to a manned fighter and act as weapons racks for the manned fighter, and only get released when the electronic warfare environment permits represent the correct way to use the technology. Small UGVs with heavy machine guns, autocannos, mortars, recoiless rifles, or even just the squads rucks represent the correct way to use the tech. A huntIR round fired from a 40mm is a good way to use the tech. An MQ-1 or MQ-9 operating where it would be politically untenable for manned aircraft is a correct way to use the tech. Using an MQ-9 over US ground troops when a modernized OV-10 would be viable, is an incorrect way to use the tech.
Whether high tech, or low tech it is the country with the greatest manufacturing capacity will win in developed world wars. Guess who is the world's largest manufacturer? Who has the most factories to convert?
@@MichaelSHartman well yeah, but China isn't necessarily "high tech" manufacturing, as is Germany or America. And I imagine a war would cut off Chinese access to Western intellect property... But hopefully that happens *before* any war, as most nations are catching onto Chinese theft.
Nah. He got tactics completely wrong. No one looks at a charge of "the best enemy tanks" and results in you sending your best tanks to meet them. You pick your battles.
So, after maybe at most a month we'd exhaust most of our modern weaponry? What about re arming and modernizing old tech? isn't this the exact reason why we have the aircraft "graveyards" and tank stockpiles across the country? I don't know if this is true but I did hear that the Air Force revived the F-15/F-16 programs in order to upgrade and modernize the fighters.
The F15X/2040c are new F15s meant to replace aged out units, but with upgraded electronics comparable to 5th gen jets. Lockheed Martin is also offering newer F16s, with "F35 DNA" (electronics & radar), but that is for foreign sales (nations who want modern but cheap jets). The USAF isn't currently interested in these though. Another interesting idea I seen explored is turning old F16 into drones. They even had flying prototypes.
It's questionable how much of the planes in the US boneyard and tanks in the Russian junkyard can be restored. You also need to train the pilot/crew to man it.
@@mickeyg7219 well not when we keep chopping up all the parts to save money... everything that's not broken, should be stored, especially aviation related.
I wonder if a spitfire-type WW2 aircraft could be armed with something like Sparrow missiles, which could be guided by AWACS...? With just some cheap electronics on board, solely for getting that missile to target.
I imagine world war three is probably going to be more like a giant game of Don't starve than combat considering pretty quickly every country's supply lines and lines of communication would be cut or blocked
Really interesting point, you've brought up, about the inability to restock. Even in WW2 there was a 10 year armed race before the actual start, and stockpiles ran dry fast.
The only country that did roughly 10 years of war prep in ww2 was Germany everybody else was court with there pants down to varied degrees UK had just about enought fighter aircraft and radar. They were about the best prepared France had a good sized army with plenty of tanks but much of there other equipment and thinking were decades behind. Poland had only been back together since the end of the 1st world war and had a large but out dated army that had already fought off the Russians in 1920. I could go on but I think you get the picture.
@Deadpoppin Would have to look more dates up but from what I can remember 1931 when Brtain won seaplane race with supermarine s6 powered by Rolls-Royce pv12 engine would good starting point as that engine was the basis for the Merlin used in Hurricane and Spitfire. Many other things were starting to happen to prep us for war as a lot of ordinary people could see with there own eyes that another set too with the Germans was coming. An example would be when Hawker aircraft had the Hurricane complete and approved, the government was dithering around over how many to buy and the head of the company gambled and put a 100 aircraft on the go straight off. Thats why at the start of the war we had a decent number the production lines had got going and sorted out. Many other examples of this sort of thing crop up when you read about the aircraft and people of this time be it Alex Henshaw, Sidney Cotton, R V Jones and W Watt amoung many others. When it all kicked off we were still a long way from ready but better prepared than our immediate allies.
It is so cool to see the dilemmas faced in hand to hand combat and large scale wars. Energy management and strategy. The drawbacks and advantages that come from a chosen strategy etc. In the end, if fight goes to the distance, flashy technique is out if the window and you resort the the most basic punches and hope that the opponent gets caught or tired 😄

The population would be devastated. If a country strikes another country, the other country will be devastated, but perhaps not the military, then the other country would retaliate the same way, and now both of them are in deep waters.
Robotics is overhyped. It does not hit effectiveness per price standards yet. Cybersecurity is solved by total internet shutdown. It happens right now in Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict.
If you look at how the U.S has fought wars in the the Middle East against large and well supplied armed forces. They destroy the opponents airforce and air fields first and then control the ground second. If there was a large scale war against 2 super powers, id assume carrier groups would be the first to be destroyed as priority, limiting that Nations ability to impose force away from home.

Best ASF in the world, but there's only about 180 of them. They've been out of production for nine years, and restarting production would be very difficult at best.
@@bryancornejo6117 F22 is just too complicated and expensive, especially for an aircraft that couldn't be exported to allies. The only reason they were built at all is because the USAF has a LOT of budget, and even then cost was a major factor in cancelling production. An F22 cost about 150m USD per unit in 2011. A second production run could see that go over 200m. For comparison, the unit cost of an F16 is about 20m. F22 is essentially a wonder weapon decades ahead of its time. It's just too advanced to be deployed as a practical combat aircraft, but we did it anyway because we could afford it. It's like having the Mirage F1 or MiG 21 in 1942.
Just my personal thoughts about production: Now you may be right that the US will never be able to reach its output level back in World War II, I still think the US and any other modern country will be able to mass produce weaponry and munitions. I say in the events preceding the war, a country will begin to start shifting its factory to war time production as the government drastically increase spending on the military, trying to stockpile as many weapons as they can and buff their armed forces in preparation for war.

Well, M3 Lees were sharing hull design with M4 Sherman, only difference between them in the earliest version was the giant gaping hole in the front right that fit with the 75mm gun. This was because that M3 Lees were design to be a stop gap solution when the turret of M4 didn't met standard in time, so they need a big tank with a big gun to fight in north africa and M3 is born.

People forget that sewage treatment, power grid and even traffic lights are networked. A very scary thought indeed
*And you forget that all these systems have their own unique control interfaces.* Which makes it extremely hard to attack every system at once. Not too mention if you can hack the powergrid in some town, it doesnt give you the power to turn off the powergrid in the entire nation. In short its highly unlikely to carry out a significant attack this way. *And its pretty UNscary...*
Even if you can control the traffic lights of some small town or city, how long would it take for people to start ignoring the lights and how long before they regain control. In short it maybe a lil fun but unless they have a actual target and goal its hardly a usefull attack, but more of a annoyance at best.

I mean if the US is occupied then Russia can steamroll europe, China can swarm east asia and the pacific, and Iran and their allies can take most of the middle east. Their are also a few socialist/communist states in africa and central and south america that would also attack their neighbors.

Bizarre analogy. The world was equally visible during WWII. When Nazi Germany began attacking Britain in 1940 they knew exactly where the important industries, shipping yards, ports and logistic centers were. When they planned a sneak attack on the USA (which never happened due to the long distance) they had already earmarked the most important industrial centers - most of them building aircraft in fact - to strike in an attack. Intelligence gathering from local spies, aerial recon and peacetime reports was the norm.
Even Imperial Japan which had very little experience with the USA, was well aware of the industrial output of the American industry, which is why it planned on a short and decisive all-out war over a year - otherwise they were well aware they could never win once the civilian industry had made a full transfer to making military equipment.

In all likelihood, we'd end up going down the route which think tanks are expecting.
A shock, I'm sure.
MBTs would be replaced by smaller, faster, off road vehicles which can get away from artillery fire and use APS for protection against heavy weapons.
Fighter jets would get simplified. The main benefit of 5th gen fighters is sensor fusion. So along as sensors half as capable and connected as the F35s can be produced in wartime, then a half-decent fighter can be built to pad-out the air force.
Carriers will still be built, probably the ski-jump variety.
Clusters of Hyper velocity projectiles, with minimal guidance systems will replace smart bombs. They'd only need to know how close they are to each other, and only a few would need to understand how far they've drifted off course, and even then, it wouldn't need to be super precise.
I think it is less likely fighter jets will be simplified, and more large drones will be used to supplement fighter jet roles.
These could be new models, or drones built from modified older jet designs & parts.
They have all ready tested turning a F16 into a drone. Imagine a drone swarm of 1000 F16 drones. Hundreds would be shot down, but no air defense in the world could stop that swarm from it's mission. Fighting it, would only deplete your AA of limited advanced missiles.
@@TheNinjaDC If they would have the means to produce drone F-16s during a high intensity war, then how would they have trouble building more F35s? Those drone F-16s were also not being used to replace or supplement the 4th gen fighter fleet in combat. They were used as targets for weapons tests and wargames. A target drone needs to be unmanned because you are shooting at it, or when not using it in a live weapons test, are still flying the plane in ways which are unsafe, and not worth risking a pilot who isn't in combat or combat training.
I don't see large remote operated planes being used in a WWIII beyond the initial stages. They need satellites for command and control, if not to be directly operated by a remote pilot. If that connection is compromised, the UAV is a liability. And sophisticated guidance systems are required not just in the drone, but its weapons for it to actually be useful in combat.
Even in the GWOT, MQ-1 and MQ-9s which lost connection would just crash. Newer drones might not be as vulnerable, but a manned aircraft still has the benefit of being manned. A drone is only advantageous when the pilot in the cockpit is a limiting factor. In all out war, the pilot is an asset, and a remote connection is a security and survivablity risk.
Drones are not magic, they are not more capable than manned vehicles (aside from when the drones need to be smaller than manned vehicles), and they do not bring quite as much to the table as some people think.
It's a shame that we don't see the real benefit of the drone, and keep trying to push the technology into roles which aren't its strongest, and where it isn't even the strongest.
Butterfly bombs with parachutes instead of metal drogues and drone pods like the next gen windmills are expected to use represent the correct way to utilize drone tech. Small kamikaze drones that are the size of a javelin missile and can be used to hit an insurgent position in a fraction of the time or cost of calling in an airstrike represent the correct way to use drone tech. Small parasite fighters that can be attached to a manned fighter and act as weapons racks for the manned fighter, and only get released when the electronic warfare environment permits represent the correct way to use the technology. Small UGVs with heavy machine guns, autocannos, mortars, recoiless rifles, or even just the squads rucks represent the correct way to use the tech. A huntIR round fired from a 40mm is a good way to use the tech.
An MQ-1 or MQ-9 operating where it would be politically untenable for manned aircraft is a correct way to use the tech. Using an MQ-9 over US ground troops when a modernized OV-10 would be viable, is an incorrect way to use the tech.
Whether high tech, or low tech it is the country with the greatest manufacturing capacity will win in developed world wars. Guess who is the world's largest manufacturer? Who has the most factories to convert?
@@MichaelSHartman well yeah, but China isn't necessarily "high tech" manufacturing, as is Germany or America. And I imagine a war would cut off Chinese access to Western intellect property... But hopefully that happens *before* any war, as most nations are catching onto Chinese theft.
What's an example of a fast MBT you're talking about? Like a Rooikat, or something even more mobile?
This was such a great summary of why we just not only shouldn't go to any type of world war, but why we can't. Very nice video!
Nah.
He got tactics completely wrong.
No one looks at a charge of "the best enemy tanks" and results in you sending your best tanks to meet them. You pick your battles.

So, after maybe at most a month we'd exhaust most of our modern weaponry? What about re arming and modernizing old tech? isn't this the exact reason why we have the aircraft "graveyards" and tank stockpiles across the country? I don't know if this is true but I did hear that the Air Force revived the F-15/F-16 programs in order to upgrade and modernize the fighters.
The F15X/2040c are new F15s meant to replace aged out units, but with upgraded electronics comparable to 5th gen jets.
Lockheed Martin is also offering newer F16s, with "F35 DNA" (electronics & radar), but that is for foreign sales (nations who want modern but cheap jets). The USAF isn't currently interested in these though.
Another interesting idea I seen explored is turning old F16 into drones. They even had flying prototypes.
It's questionable how much of the planes in the US boneyard and tanks in the Russian junkyard can be restored. You also need to train the pilot/crew to man it.
@@mickeyg7219 well not when we keep chopping up all the parts to save money... everything that's not broken, should be stored, especially aviation related.
I wonder if a spitfire-type WW2 aircraft could be armed with something like Sparrow missiles, which could be guided by AWACS...? With just some cheap electronics on board, solely for getting that missile to target.
The new 4th gen fighters are basically missile trucks for 5th gen fighters. Stealth requires internal stowage which limits BVR.
What's the point of having all these toys I'f we don't get to play with them?

I imagine world war three is probably going to be more like a giant game of Don't starve than combat considering pretty quickly every country's supply lines and lines of communication would be cut or blocked
Really interesting point, you've brought up, about the inability to restock. Even in WW2 there was a 10 year armed race before the actual start, and stockpiles ran dry fast.
The only country that did roughly 10 years of war prep in ww2 was Germany everybody else was court with there pants down to varied degrees UK had just about enought fighter aircraft and radar. They were about the best prepared France had a good sized army with plenty of tanks but much of there other equipment and thinking were decades behind. Poland had only been back together since the end of the 1st world war and had a large but out dated army that had already fought off the Russians in 1920. I could go on but I think you get the picture.
@Deadpoppin Would have to look more dates up but from what I can remember 1931 when Brtain won seaplane race with supermarine s6 powered by Rolls-Royce pv12 engine would good starting point as that engine was the basis for the Merlin used in Hurricane and Spitfire. Many other things were starting to happen to prep us for war as a lot of ordinary people could see with there own eyes that another set too with the Germans was coming. An example would be when Hawker aircraft had the Hurricane complete and approved, the government was dithering around over how many to buy and the head of the company gambled and put a 100 aircraft on the go straight off. Thats why at the start of the war we had a decent number the production lines had got going and sorted out. Many other examples of this sort of thing crop up when you read about the aircraft and people of this time be it Alex Henshaw, Sidney Cotton, R V Jones and W Watt amoung many others. When it all kicked off we were still a long way from ready but better prepared than our immediate allies.
@Deadpoppin No prob as you might have guessed bit of a history and tech buff hope it wasn't too long an answer.
"What Would A World War Look Like Today?"
Well it'd be quick, it'd be bloody, it'd be really noisy, and there would be nothing left to fight for.
@Rob Breaux Why just there? It's a world war and everyone is a part of it.

It is so cool to see the dilemmas faced in hand to hand combat and large scale wars. Energy management and strategy. The drawbacks and advantages that come from a chosen strategy etc. In the end, if fight goes to the distance, flashy technique is out if the window and you resort the the most basic punches and hope that the opponent gets caught or tired 😄
Everyone gangsta untill Russia activates "Dead Hand".
I'm more worried about the sampson option. Those MF'ers are crazy enough to actually do it.
As long as ice machines exist, nobody will invade Russia.

@@quiahjohnson5871 The rumored, but widely believed to be true, policy that Israel will nuke all of the European capitals if it is ever existentially threatened.
Whether true or not, the simple existence of the rumor functions as blackmail to obtain foreign aid and security guarantees from the west to Israel.

Its gonna be terrifying seeing just how covered it will be by the media across all platforms.

This video has been recommended at an interesting time....
I love how that hacking scene was someone hosting a website
So this is why the Military is storing their old equipment instead of scraping it.
Yep ... shhhh
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Super interesting and spot on with your assumptions (in my opinion). Running out of heavy artillery is mind boggling in a sense but very realistic. That’s when they would bring out the nukes though. You only need a few of those 😅
"I don't know what weapons would be used in WW3, but I do know that WW4 will be fought with stones and sticks"
You don't need to quote the guy that made nukes
Cliche
Just by cutting the power, every person in a large city would just die. People are so dependent on electricity, including me, but to think, what would you do if the power was cut, no lights, no way to make food, no way to store food, and no electricity for your phones, and then the biggest one, no wifi, who would you ask, where will you go? The population would be devastated. If a country strikes another country, the other country will be devastated, but perhaps not the military, then the other country would retaliate the same way, and now both of them are in deep waters.
Love the thumbnail of that one dude just chillin while tanks are blowing eachother up lmao
AI, cybersecurity, and robotics would probably be top priority...
Robotics is overhyped. It does not hit effectiveness per price standards yet.
Cybersecurity is solved by total internet shutdown. It happens right now in Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict.

Just look at Ace Combat and Call of Duty. Bam, you have yourself a modern war

"the most advanced fighter jets fighting out in the skies" *shows footage of concorde crashing*
If you look at how the U.S has fought wars in the the Middle East against large and well supplied armed forces.
They destroy the opponents airforce and air fields first and then control the ground second.
If there was a large scale war against 2 super powers, id assume carrier groups would be the first to be destroyed as priority, limiting that Nations ability to impose force away from home.
US has a floating carrier in the form of Japan. Wouldn't be surprised if other South China Sea countries start offering airfields to US.
Bettertext Philippines recently agreed to open a base there (we used to have one until Duterte cozied up to Xi; Chinas aggressiveness in the SCS has turned this around to an extent). We also have strong allies in Taiwan, South Korea, and India, as well as co-belligerents such as Vietnam who would fight on the US’s behalf against China
@@mengelmoesNL "US has a floating carrier in the form of Japan" is some of the funniest commentary I've seen in a while. Imma borrow it
3:50 "in WW2 all the most powerful players were self-sufficient" _cries in Nazi_
Germany was self-sufficient as well.
Japan and British home islands were the ones really in trouble once trade started being interdicted.
True, the Nazis were seriously starved of resources. Big part of why they lost.
@@roberthavran2522 Operation Fall Blau happened because Germany desperately needed the oil fields in the Caucasus. The process of converting coal to oil was an expensive and lengthy process. They couldn't sustain operations on the eastern front for more than a few months without it. Not to mention they were already heavily relying on horses because they couldn't run their trucks.
That's far from self sufficient.
@@Bengals6211 Yes. Also Germany invaded the Soviet in 41 because they knew that they couldn't sustain an invasion later, with all the oil that the battle of Britain was consuming. Another thing that you pointed and that a lot of people think is true is that the German Army wasn't this huge mechanazied machine, but in reality they invaded Russia with more horses than trucks
We gonna find out soon.
Simple answer: beep boop beep - Missle Launched - Boom
Let’s see what is recommended today
“What would a world war look like today”
Looks at the calendar “Don’t you start”
The military assets you have at the start of the war is what you'll have to work with during the entire war.
i dont think so. during war productions would shift to weapons and military hardware. you might not see a new production line of f35s but simpler aircrafts would be created
I feel like one of your general themes is that countries couldn’t just switch to manufacturing tech. Wars create innovation out of the need for survival and if a country’s resources are streamlined into a particular goal I think you would be surprised.

the snorkels shown here are american
the mast left is a attack periscope while the mast right is a radio mast + gps
there is no way to tell if its from a 688 or ohio or seaworlf / virgina class as they all use identical looking masts even when they are different... this is on purpose to deter classification of submarine based on mast + rcs of mast
;)
I love how he mentions nuclear weapons and then the home security systems, like "you can use water detectors, cameras, door keypads, nukes and motion detectors"
"what would world war look like today?"
"It's very hard to imagine"
Well, thanks vid.
I had this mental checklist of things I was wondering if you'd mention. Cyber warfare and satellites were mentioned. The only thing on my list that you didn't mention is unmanned vehicles. Drones. They're cheaper and easier to make than a whole fighter jet or bomber. They would play a massive role in WWIII.
This comment aged very well
Three Cabal videos in two weeks? You're spoiling us.
10:26-10:36. Those F-22s are just beautiful.
Best ASF in the world, but there's only about 180 of them. They've been out of production for nine years, and restarting production would be very difficult at best.
Icy Knightmare sucks that the US probably won’t build them no more.
@@bryancornejo6117 F22 is just too complicated and expensive, especially for an aircraft that couldn't be exported to allies. The only reason they were built at all is because the USAF has a LOT of budget, and even then cost was a major factor in cancelling production. An F22 cost about 150m USD per unit in 2011. A second production run could see that go over 200m. For comparison, the unit cost of an F16 is about 20m.
F22 is essentially a wonder weapon decades ahead of its time. It's just too advanced to be deployed as a practical combat aircraft, but we did it anyway because we could afford it. It's like having the Mirage F1 or MiG 21 in 1942.
Just my personal thoughts about production:
Now you may be right that the US will never be able to reach its output level back in World War II, I still think the US and any other modern country will be able to mass produce weaponry and munitions. I say in the events preceding the war, a country will begin to start shifting its factory to war time production as the government drastically increase spending on the military, trying to stockpile as many weapons as they can and buff their armed forces in preparation for war.
You mean like how we are currently in a new arms race akin to the one before WW1 started??
