39 THAAD interceptors expended by U.S.

“The minimum of 39 THAAD interceptors therefore cost over $495 million. The budget projects only 32 THAADs will be procured in FY 2026, so more than an entire year’s worth of interceptors were fired in twelve days.”

If you follow myself or any number of defense posters, you’d know CENTCOM is something of a meme. But there comes a point when meme becomes reality, sucking in resources in pursuit of increasingly pointless and dubious objectives all the while very real threats continue to fester. My latest⬇️

OTD in 1997 Ukraine & Russia signed the Russian–Ukrainian Friendship Treaty in which we promised to "respect each other's territory".

We have not broken this or any other treaties we signed so Ukraine should sign one now for peace cos we’ll totally respect that one. Lol.

No one’s ever lost a war by focusing on “warrior mindset” over logistics in the Pacific!

You will never hear this from defense VC land

To use my favorite punching bag, Anduril has been nonstop blabbing about how Barracuda will completely replace JASSM, it only costs 1/10 as much but it can do everything JASSM can and more, etc etc

This is obviously hotwash, yet no one wants to say so
