This is also the inevitable result of successive Administrations and Congresses nickel and diming our PATRIOT force for the better part of three decades. U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery has extremely little slack to respond to our own or our allies' contingencies.

$1.6B corresponds to Foreign Military Financing loans in the supplemental. These funds cannot legally be spent in Ukraine, they can only spent in the U.S. Pushkarenko's statement is ambiguous, but he seems to be referring to FMF as he references the $13B in USAI separately.

BREAKING: The U.S. announced its largest military aid package ever for Ukraine at $6 billion dollars. It will include interceptors for Ukraine's Patriot and NASAMS air defense systems, more counter drone systems & significant amounts of artillery, ammo & air-to-ground munitions
What does US aid to Ukraine look like? It requires the U.S. to constantly improve training and kit📈 Several U.S. military officials said that 🇺🇦 has pulled 🇺🇸M1A1 Abrams MBTs from the front due to their vulnerability to 🇷🇺 drones, however this is not the end of tanks. 1 | 3
❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦 Scoop from Bloomberg: The Pentagon has finally put almost all of the previously appropriated $18.9 billion Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funding on contract. As of the DoD's last update in January, there was still $6.6b in committed funding that was uncontracted.

@John_A_Ridge @samuel_hayden_ Also, ESSM has some downsides that CAMM doesn't. For instance hot launch isn't well suited to tactical, mobile SAM systems in general, and isn't really meant to engage pop-up threats at short range.
@John_A_Ridge This is the case everywhere in NATO. It is what you get when all your military leaders from the Cold War retire, and you're left with only those who learned from the War on Terror and whose main military experience is COIN in Afghanistan.
@samuel_hayden_ @John_A_Ridge While it doesn't matter that much for naval use, having a cold launch system is a net positive for GBAD systems. Have you ever seen a carrier windshield crack during a hot launch because of overpressure? Or a fist-sized rock fly into a nearby vehicle ? I did, it wasn't pretty.
@John_A_Ridge imagine an AIM-9X...with an active radar seeker
💯 Journalism would be much better off if the industry stopped hiring people who studied journalism and instead hired people with some technical knowledge of the field they're going to cover.
Many of these regretted majors - journalism, comms, education, marketing - are about teaching or communicating information from another field. It seems more employers prefer to find majors in the subject matter themselves and then just train them to teach, explain, or market it.

@Link_Plumeria @John_A_Ridge Who doesn't like ASSRAM
@John_A_Ridge It would make more sense to just slim down ESSM's motor to 8" to reduce weight and diameter differential. Cheaper too. MBDAs EMADS quad pack system is not exactly space efficient.
@John_A_Ridge Reducing the size of the ESSM motor to 8" makes all of this moot and has more sense because you have a common GNC section. CAMM exists because the British didn't want to buy ESSMs. Soft launch system exists because of the Type 23 backfit requirement since commonwealth countries…
My partner is in Germany to see family right now me and I’m here, so we had a long distance baking date! First time I ever baked any kind of bread. I think it turned out okay!
