You know Denny, I really don't trust media, either the MSM or Fox to deliver full context on many of the issues that they report on but I have seen reporting that we can not quickly replace many of the munitions that we are sending to the Ukraine, could this be true? Also, that CBS report mentioned that I believe it was a Patriot missile that we used to pay $25K for now costs $400K because of monopolistic practices by the arms vendors to the government, could this also be true?
No that’s not true.
When the government adds new requirement after new requirement on a procurement i dues not mean there is a monopoly.
It is really silly and stupid to think that the patriot missle of 1991 is even remotely the same technically as that of today .
