11 hours ago11 hr An article written by a guy who has zero clue. That said, I do share his disdain for our acquisitions process and understand his comments regarding cost creep, etc. But he showcases his zero credibility with multiple comments. Restarting the F-22 - GTFO, that’s a dumb idea and non-starter. 6G is necessary and it’s going to hurt the bank account, pretty much no way around that. The hope is they can produce what they claimed they will relatively close to the timeline they said they would. That would be a massive improvement over LM’s bullshit with the F-35.I’m not holding my breath, but I am rooting for Boeing to succeed where LM has failed miserably. Our national defense depends on it. Edited 11 hours ago11 hr by brabus
1 hour ago1 hr It was his point on the affordability of the -47 and by implication the F/A-XX that gives me pause and consideration.It’s like Op Spider Web, cost of that operation vs what effects they had, the cost of a 47 or XX vs 690 cheaper weapons thrown against it Does the platform matter as much when the weapons / enablers (CCAs) are so much cheaper and therefore can be more plentiful?
