Why be content with a few AK's...
It's a matter of hardening your logistical lines. As I said, why build a factory, a fixed asset that can be targeted, when you can bring in anything and everything you need, wholesale, from an outside supplier, that your adversary cannot (and dare not) attack?
The minute you invest in building your own production facility, you might as well just put a giant flashing neon sign over it, saying, "Bomb Here".
If they could detect a CNC machine then they could probably detect a meth lab?
notice that nobody has bombed their submarine construction factories either

Detect? Don't get wrapped around the purely American idea that everything requires technical means (satellites, etc.) to find something. You are aware that most intel comes from informants, right? All it takes is one guy. Have you ever seen a mobile home? How about a shack out in the woods? That's what your average meth lab looks like.

Have you ever seen a clearing in the forest next to a river? Because that's exactly what a "submarine construction" facility looks like. Nothing there on Monday. Tuesday a bunch of trucks show up. Wednesday they build a wood and fiberglass "sub". And by Thursday it's just a clearing again.
Thank you for making my argument for me.

it's not a competition bro, I'm just hypothesising about why they don't just make their own weapons given that they have the capital to do so. Iran and NK make their own missiles for no other reason than leverage
FWIW, they are made in warehouses and boatyards, I've found a picture of an early one under a tarp so that could be anywhere, now they are huge $1M uboats.
