  1. We (the US) have 4000 Bradleys. We given UA <200. It should be double that minimally. I'm not sure what land battle we are saving our inventory for. Edit: It's even worse if this data is right. Geez, just get the storage ones up and running. The Bradley Fighting Vehicle family has two primary variants, the M2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle, which differ mainly in their internal configuration to support the mechanized infantry and cavalry scout roles, respectively. A number of other more specialized variants have entered service over the years, such a the M7 Bradley Fire Support Team vehicle, or BFIST, which is configured to provide an armored platform to support forward observers. At present, the Army has around 4,500 M2 and M3 Bradleys spread among its units, including those in the Army National Guard, as well as another approximately 2,000 in storage, according to The International Institute for Strategic Studies' The Military Balance.

  2. For better or worse, the military industrial complex at its finest.

  3. Not anymore. Everything is consolidated into a few companies. And, we started to wind down operations from 2 long wars. Even in the 2021-22 budget, the US was halving 155mm shell quantities.

  4. No one has air dominance with short range drones now.

  5. Weird comment. Tom Hanks would be a completely different person if his politics were right wing.

  6. The drawdown of 2 wars came at a suboptimal time. We've been cutting production for years and now need 10x the production capacity. (June 1, 2021) The Army wants to cut its spending on 155 mm artillery rounds to $174 million in fiscal year 2022, down from the $306.3 million Congress appropriated for FY-21.

  7. The Pentagon is notorious slow. I mean really slow. They should have been ramping up production of everything (shells / GMLRS) 6 months ago.

  8. GOP are a bunch of idiots. The $50B a year in funding for Ukraine is getting paid back in volumes in learning battlefield tactics.

  10. Cool product. Horrible non-acronym.

  11. The West has way more Russian human assets than Iraqi ones (or at least trust worthy ones). Plus, way more SIGINT now days.

  12. America sitting out of an armed conflict just seems plain odd now. - an American

  13. The problem with the Iranian loitering drones is they are cheap and don't have active pings. Just a location punched in.

  14. It’s still more than they have now. It’s obvious the RU military is extremely depleted. Not great for UA as they were making steady advances.
