I always suspected that, with all the high-tech equipment, after the initial stockpile is gone (and a few hundred planes is not a lot if you look at WW2), it's much harder to scale up production (if one country alone even produces all the necessary parts like semiconductors, rocket engines, etc.).

Actually, is there some analysis on that?

It's probably not going to be a free for all but a 2-3 sided conflict with alliances of several countries on either.
US+EU+allies can probably manufacture all the war machines they need, as does China+allies.
