"Begging journalists (@vmsalama) to do actual research. Europe manufactures indigenous long-range surface-to-air missile systems i.e. SAMP/T. These DoD officials are also omitting substantial context about our munitions requirements and acquisition objectives"

"@CalibreObscura This is not necessarily an indicator of anything imo. Successfully intercepting high subsonic threats with APKWS will still be limited by engagement geometry. Better cueing would help but that only goes so far given APKWS kinematics"

"@infantrydort @DaelonSuzuka You are an insufferable dimwit and an asshole. Your ideas are as hateful as they are stupid. You use your platform to harass and demean others. You bring discredit to our services and undermine the work of those who are truly committed to serving their country"

"@AlexHollings52 GMD cannot achieve raid annihilation against XX ICBMs with 3-4 MIRVs. 36-48 reentry vehicles is sufficient to saturate GMD. Each GBI has a single EKV and at least two need to be tasked to each threat. To say nothing of any discrimination issues given penetration aids etc"

"@Arthur_Foxache @AlexHollings52 Its sufficient for North Korea and Iran. DPRK only gained the ability to hold North America at risk with a single digit number of ICBMs in the last decade. NGI will align GMD for future threats from DPRK and others"

"@marauder2048 The language of the executive order implies the transfer of funds to DoD accounts from other departments. How they choose to interpret consistent with applicable law is the wild card"
