It allows America to control our supply of spare parts and software updates, and it doesn’t bolster the European defence industry.

Converting that to a yearly inflation figure:
1.01512 =~ 1.196
So about 19.6% yearly, assuming it will stay at 1.5% monthly for the next year.

For context, before people jump to conclusions:
Russia is not party to this landmine treaty, and Ukraine having to adhere to this treaty is essentially forcing them to fight against someone who plays dirty while having their arm tied around their back.
Other countries that have announced that they will be withdrawing from the Ottowa Treaty are: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (Coincidentally all bordering Russia or Belarus)
