…this is just the first step in a series of steps toward deterring conflict.
Having the ABILITY to DO something and the resolve to DO IT only when deterrence fails is PEACE through STRENGTH!
I was hoping to see more FReeper comments on this. But this should be a day of celebration for our Allies and a day of great FEAR for those who seek to do the United States and NATO members harm.
Obsolete before it flies.
But it will end up costing 2+ billion per plane, so it will be great for the MIC. They will get way richer.
No one is deterring any conflict. Have you head of Ukraine? Our political leaders are actively stirring conflict and selling out our sovereignty to feed their own pockets. Yes this is great tech, but my gut tells me the Chi-coms been given the blueprints. And this ain’t 1952 anymore. Autonomous stand off weapons can do this job. To drain the treasury to scare enemies with appearances is nuts.
I’m sure you’ve seen this, Raytheon Reveals US Plan To Remove Anti-Air Systems From Gulf For Ukraine: Also lands $1.2 billion contract for Ukraine rockets... More brilliant strategic planning from our betters. I’m sure our allies are thrilled about this as well as our new whiz bang toy.
They’re not in service yet, I believe..
