As far as I know. When there was a scare a few years back, the major distributors emailed us and said there could be supply chain issues. I was wondering with this current war ongoing if that would stop them, but it seems they are still making them.

I think you are thinking of the big scare from 2022?

First it was no more tube:

Then it was we will get around this:

Eh, the cost is higher but I see all of them in stock at EH for example.

YMMV in the future...
