On the chokepoints of the military production, I strongly recommend reading this. It gives a sufficiently good first introduction into the problem
No military industrial complex in the world can execute the mechanical design of weaponry other than based on the CNC technology*

Therefore, supply chain for the quality CNC equipment (including both mechanical and electronic components) being controlled by the US allies is of major and under appreciated strategic significance
* Exceptions exist of course, but they are less common and significant than one could presume. As a general rule, every or almost every economy has to deal with the constantly shrinking pool of the qualified manual labour -> alternatives gradually become impossible to execute
E.g. in Russia you can still find some labour capable of executing some cutting operations (turning) manually. But only if you call back old retired workers whose skills did not (and cannot) transcend to the youngsters
For other operations skilled labour is practically impossible to find. They all died
