All false.
We have capabilities not known or shown beyond any imagination. Let’s hope we don’t have to use them.

Keep up ole baw!

They're making whatever the military orders and pays for.

Whatever they used to nab Maduro was pretty bad arse. We have weapons that are classified and haven't been used....yet.

I don’t know the official name of the weapon but it is often referred to as the Discombobulator. Not much is known about it. I kind of thought if we used ground troops in Iran then this thing would be used often and turn any battle into a route. It does sick things to a person on the inside.

LOL. They are making what the military requests. That doesn't mean they aren't innovating. The shite we know about, even the cutting edge "new" shite is usually 20 years old.

Bingo.

Just like "we're about to run out of weapons"!!!! I work with 3 of the largest defense contractors in the world and several others. They've been ramping shite up for years. And really put the pedal down a month before Ukraine.

Turn it over to a bunch of twenty year olds and tell them to innovate. They will.

The Defense contractors will be eating Fillet for decades to come.

And that's the future
In Ukraine the tank kills by drone are mostly after the tank hits a mine or is shelled by artillery and crew has abandoned the tank.
Russia never established air superiority at all. The US ALWAYS has air DOMINANCE

I think it’s safe to say that drones will be able to carry a big enough punch to disable a tank without needing a mine. Probably the extremely near future. Plus the faster the technology improves for directed energy weapons the more obsolete a tank will become. One day lasers will be able to melt right through a tank and ignite its payload or render it useless by destroying its ability to move. It may take a little while but that day is coming also.

They don't have to innovate. We have this thing called DARPA.
That's where the innovators end up.
Contractors are just a way to keep reinventing the wheel and padding the bank accounts of Congress members with sweet kickbacks. The real fun happens in the black money sector.

Very obvious truths. Our military was designed for power projection in Cold War politics… it is not well prepared for a modern war.

Citations or just general water cooler chatter?

What the frick are you bitching about? Several very high profile people have all came out and said that we are 20-30 years ahead of China

Contractors, hospitals, veterans lying about disability, it's all a shite show. Needs to be torn down and completely rebuilt, Trump is FOS though and will do nothing about it but feed it more money.

You all have no idea what we have. We are not running out any of our new shite for this. Why would we?

That's now how war's work. We might have some things 10 years ahead, but we cannot sustain them for any amount of time.
