Lockheed Martin CEO Jim Taiclet said on Sunday that his company would nearly double production of their javelin missiles as the U.S. has sent hundreds of the weapons to aid Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s invasion.“Right now, our capacity is 2,100 Javelin missiles per year. We’re endeavoring to take that up to 4,000 per year, and that will take a number of months, maybe even a couple of years to get there because we have to get our supply chain to also crank up,” Taiclet said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“We’re starting now to ramp it up because we have an active production line right now that the president saw,” he added, referencing President Biden’s recent trip to a Lockheed Martin facility in Troy, Ala.
“So we can start turning up the heat now and- and ramping the production immediately because of those circumstances,” he also said.

He’s not a crack pot.
He’s a four star general with the combat experience and heroism to prove it, unlike your beloved Orc generals who purchased their commissions .
That includes the great General of the Orc Army, Sergei Shoigu, who never served a day in the army; the uniform and medals worn by Shoigu aren’t for military service. The medals are mostly commemorative coins for anniversaries and services to the census.
we need to replace those munitions for our own military. That’s not a conspiracy it’s reality.

Now now, don’t go all technical on the Puntinestas.
see: Benedict Arnold.
It also has to refute the notion that the Ukes are doing a great job with these. After all, one missile, one tank, how many of tanks can the Russkies possibly have left?
Love how you excoriate a guy who served his country and call him a thief. Besides being an Orc FSB troll, what else do you do for fun?

No, because having a powerful boogieman gives them, the politicians and the military industrial complex, more power and wealth.
Well, that gives them the cause, but the actual conflict is the real economic windfall and power, for both groups, MIC and politicians. 🙂
I still don't trust him.
Oops, wrong post, ignore. 🙂
Ignore you? NEVER!
No, just ignore my comment as it was meant for a completely different thread. 😋
I see you’ve made the Orkrainian contingent mad today by criticizing their thief at Faux...
Hot stuff, right? Here’s our own Keyboard Cowards defending the Perfumed generals, the same generals who sat on their asses as the Deep State ran a domestic coup against Trump. Milley, another one of his heroes, went as far as to say he was in touch with the communist Chinese assuring them that Trump’s orders would be ignored. And we should respect these guys? No thanks.
Black keyboards upon their desk
These are men, the neocons' best
One hundred men will agitprop today
But only three win the Green Keyboard.
