"While procurement of Ajax should be terminated immediately this is entirely the wrong conclusion. CVR(T) in particular has been obsolete since the mid-1980s. Both it and Warrior are wholly unfit for contemporary threats and must be replaced wholesale"

"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"

"These insipid mouth breathers are going to get thousands of American and allied service members killed. Genuinely delusional decision-making that will potentially take decades to recover from"

"@_Aymen_212 @heatloss1986 @Hammerli280 USAF and USN requirements are necessarily quite different. The USAF needs a superiority fighter to replace F-22. The USN needs a multirole fighter to replace Super Hornet and Growler"

"Group X OWA-UAS are such a wildly useless capability for us to field it truly boggles the mind. Were it not for prior knowledge that the people involved in this acquisition are stupid one would assume it is graft"

"For the record this should have provoked immediate and overt U.S. military action against Russia at the time. The Government of the Russian Federation will use every tool at their disposal to attempt to kill American citizens and destroy the United States"
