   @roboneko @Terry The people the gov gives them to are just cannon fodder, who cares if they die? Just think about all the useful information lockheed/raytheon/aerojet can glean from their sacrifice! What if it’s a low-cost software solution? Oh man, they could end up trimming costs even further when it comes time to sign the contract for the “improved” JDAM!

   Stocks and procurement are sooooo cool! America is the arsenal of democracy!

     @Terry it's "interesting" that we manufacture weapons systems that we know won't be effective against a peer adversary. and amusing that we would supply them under the circumstances

     the Economist laments the fact that the Russians are jamming American JDAMs supplied to Ukraine.
