Well they're moving a lot of Ukraine weapons making to Europe. Denmark for example. The metropoly may be struggling, but it's still an empire

if you look at the tangible numbers, there's barely anything actually being produced in Europe

Do you by chance have data on this?

There's no single report summing this up, but here are a few article discussing European dependence on US arms exports

The problem that Europe has is lack of access to cheap energy. They're now pretty entirely reliant on expensive LNG from the US, and industries things steel production, essential to the military, are incredibly expensive as a result.
