that made big news right?

US Air Force drops Lockheed hypersonic missile after failed tests

Thursday, Mar 30

There's a screen shot from Google news.

 Look at the sources listed. 

All real big player right?

Hardly.

Your news is managed for a reason.

I just never really bought those two back to back successful (Hypersonic) test we had a while back. Seemed like "yea us, rah-rah stuff" more than anything. I mean you dont just go from struggle struggle struggle with these programs and then one day are like "Oh hey, look at us now, two successful test in a row", etc.)

"WASHINGTON — The U.S. Air Force isn’t going to buy the hypersonic AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon after the prototyping phase ends, following problems during testing, the service’s acquisition chief told lawmakers Wednesday.

"But the service will still finish the ARRW program’s last two all-up round test flights to collect data to help with future hypersonic programs, Andrew Hunter told the House Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee in written testimony."

"Hunter sounded the death knell for Lockheed Martin’s ARRW program a day after Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said in another hearing that a March test had failed."

"The Air Force on Friday said it had conducted a second test launch of a fully operational prototype ARRW on March 13. But the service did not describe the test as successful, instead saying it met several objectives. After a previous test launch in December, the Air Force had released a statement that said all objectives were met."

"Kendall said Tuesday that the Air Force still wants to carry out two more ARRW tests with its remaining prototypes. But he told lawmakers that the service is more committed to its other major hypersonic weapon program, the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile."

"Hunter did not address the ARRW program in the verbal testimony he delivered to lawmakers, nor did lawmakers ask him about it."

(WHY?)

Point is?

We are behind.

We spend as much on defense as the next ten countries do put together...

(figures are from 2021 BTW)

but we are behind.

We dont have em.

And we dont have a defense for them.

Were broke.

Were out 

(or were running short of and constraining supply lines) 

of munitions and missiles.

I wonder what could ever happen in such a situation?

They have already celebrated their victory.

Maybe all the Christian Nationalist should go back and reread their bibles and see how many times God turned Israel over to their enemies?

Maybe?

Perhaps?
