Drones? As far as artillery, old stock and old cluster shells mostly while newer and better are coming in from the new production lines.
“With Ukraine war funds”—”the Army is buying a brand-new version of the Bradley, the M-2A4E1, to replace the US Army M-2A2s now in Ukraine”
“it’s also one of the first American combat vehicles to get an overhaul based on lessons the Pentagon has learned by observing the fighting in Ukraine”
“The M-2A4E1 has all the best features of the M-2A2, including an accurate gun and robust armor protection, and also adds an improved high-definition infrared gunner’s sight and air-conditioning for the passengers. More importantly, it boasts the Iron Fist active protection system – a new kind of defense against missiles and drones.”
“New “active” protection aims to intercept enemy fire before it ever reaches the vehicle.”
Wonderful to know that we are reaping some benefits while we go broke and the merchants of death make record breaking profits.
It we go broke while the Ukrainians and the Russians kill each other, who cares as long as we learn better ways to kill a non-existent enemy.
Sure we have real enemies but we are killing our economy and making ourselves poor supplying arms to a tyrant that we put in power.
