10,000 out of 18,000 air-launched munitions used in the operation were precision-guided

Given the current level of production of 7,200 kits per year, this relatively small, 3-4-month engagement consumed excatly 18 months worth of production. This if Boeing is the sole manufacturer. I guess Saddam needs not to worry for the next couple of years, unless we're getting at him with dumb bombs.

Nice to hear some positives in our defense R&D and production.
Most of what we read is "doom-and-gloom" stuff,
which sells more magazines and brings higher TV ratings, but sucks for morale.
Thanks for posting this.
