Good grief, now we’re analyzing their requirements and contracting to make new weapons for them?

Makes you wonder who this Gov’t actually works for. Can Ukes vote? Are they passing out ballots over there? Probably are.

You can want it Cheap, Quick, and Good.

You can only have 2 of 3.

They are trying Cheap and Quick - Maybe AI can help HaHa

Greece admitted today that Turkey will attack it because
too many munitions were given to Ukraine.

Then there is the loss to America’s enemies of previous
hidden/silent technologies.

This is hysterical.

Ukraine is going to be saved by new weapons system that the Air Force sent out an RFP for in January?

This is beyond delusional.

“ The U.S. military has had its own interest in precision-guided munitions that can still function effectively in the face of heavy electronic warfare jamming”

We may need to know this the way things are heading

Russo-Ukraine War is a weapons/tactics training ground similar to the Spanish Civil War?

> The RFI also called for a design that a manufacturer could build 1,000 within two years, or an average of nearly 42 per month.

42 per month is going to stock everything the US needs and turn around the situation in Ukraine.

We’re using the Russo-Ukraine war as a test bed for all these weapon systems for going against China down the road.

We already have the Pershing missile. If the new one is cheap and fast, it should be named the “Kamala Harris” missile.

Yes, the US and NATO are gearing up for a MUCH larger war in the near future. But don’t worry - they’ll tell us it’s cheaper than properly demilling the weapons.
