Love, your favorite defense contractor
One of the reasons given for us to support this war was to diminish Russian military capability. Oops.
The pentagon concentrated its money on producing expensive weapon systems but forgot to include enough ammo fore real war. Now paying the price.
But Russia is losing and Ukraine is winning bigly.
And we see one of the intended results of the generational quagmire we’ve been blundered into. Raytheon comes up Aces again. Care to bet that Biden Bro Construction Co. does so as well?
Pretty sure inventory depletion was the goal.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Does something seem wrong here?
Shouldn’t there be a massive amount of burned out armament laying around somewhere?
The western world’s war stocks nearly depleted... doesn’t seem like enough damage has been done for that.
“13 years of Stinger production and 5 years of Javelin production were used up in Ukraine in only 10 months.”
A person that I went to college with tells me that it would be relatively easy to step up production of military hardware (so not nearly 13 years), but that the lead times they’re getting from China for raw materials (particularly rare earths), piece parts, tooling, and test equipment means that it will be at least several years before they can even begin to ramp up production. Obviously they looked to US sources, but most are now gone.
So produce more. Expand your plant. Build one in Poland.
Are they hiring?
I am sure this is the guy that was filmed being positively giddy at the opportunities that the war offered.
Going according to Biden, I mean Obamas long term plan.
That 400 Javelins per month is a VERY low figure. It comes out to just over 1 Javelin every two hours.
I recall the CEO of the HIMARS rocket factory saying they could crank out a (much larger) HIMARS rocket every 10 minutes without much difficulty. Which, at the time I thought was not very many for a large scale war that dragged out for long.
The CEO of the HIMARS plant was pretty clueless when it came to a not quite doubling of production, though. He said something along the lines of “we’d have to study it”.
The lack of contingency planning is astounding.
Russia’s defense industries & military appear to suffer from abject corruption. Ours appear to suffer from abject complacency - which includes our Congress-critters on the Armed Services Committees, and DOD and civilian “leadership”.
Maybe we are lucky Pooty invaded Ukraine. At least the problem is now evident without us having hundreds of thousands of troops in the field.
It’s all part of the plan to destroy our military and food and energy production to make it easy for China to take over the USA.
What the leftist elites don’t realize is that the first think China will do is slaughter THEM!

I wonder where that 13 year supply was meant to be used?
Because they haven’t taken any old stock from the Far East.
I wonder if that was targeted for use in a potential war with Russia?
