NO SHIT
i have been reporting on this for over a year and how the valuation was WAY WAY off....
i know military vehicles.. the price they were "charging " for them was nuts!!!!
people like john ridge and a few others said i was a liar.... well turns out i was right from the start!!!
this is the 2nd time that they have been caught overvaluing the gear..
DLA is a place where senior shit former officers go after a shit time in the military. they need adult supervision, and thats the truth.Image
no one at the DOD is in charge, and this shows it!!!

people asking me how units like the 93rd be in the fight near kaharkiev and not be pulled out of the fight in the south...
simple they are NOT normal brigades..
US and most other brigades look like this.... Image
this is the 93rd brigade....
and this has about the same firepower as a US or western brigade... but wait there is more..... Image
3. they in effect have another brigade of attached infantry.... Image

1 of ?
there has been lots of talk of more bradleys going to ukraine..

so lets take a look at the bradley and see how many could probably go...

ok so the TOTAL number of bradleys made by FMC (food machine co) was 6724..
the LAST hull was made in 1991, any after that were rebuilt hulls.

FMC has long ago shut down production and now BAE makes all the parts for the bradley except for the hull and turret...Image
2. desert storm... in that war about 20 were lost total...
i was RIGHT behind one that was hit by a RPG.. TF 1-41 infantry, battle of norlfolk. 6704 Image
3. OIF about 155 were totally destroyed 700 damaged and of that about 150 were damaged too the point that they were stripped and dumped at sea due to cracks from IEDs.. so 6449 Image

RUSSIAN TG "FIGHTER BOMBER"
getting sober about the F16.

More about the F-16.

We have been waiting for the F-16 for three years, and there are still decades before that. We hung out with them in the KOR and in the Far East, and assessed them in Syria. In general, we always prepared for a fight with him.
Purely theoretically, it is not yet very clear what the crests are counting on. We are preparing for a fight with F-16s that are as close as possible to the block 52 modification. That is, top-end, or pre-top-end, with the coolest missiles.
But in terms of range of Air-to-Air missiles, we have at least the same range as the F-16, or we shoot further. In terms of the range of the sights, we see and capture the F-16 better than it does us, and significantly. Not to mention the illumination during maneuvers. In terms of the number of fighters we are again larger, in terms of the level of training of pilots we are many times stronger, we have more missiles again, in terms of air defense, we will again beat the Ukrainians in every respect.
2 But of course, “not everything is so simple,” there will be a fight and you have to try very hard to beat the F-16 dry.
It is unlikely that the Little Russian will go to fight them with us on equal terms. Rather, he will analyze the air situation, look for single targets at sea, bombers without cover, helicopters, and again use ambush tactics.
This is if he plans to work for them by air. As with the "Patriots", the crest will fire packs of missiles towards the target without illuminating the target, in the hope that the active head of the missile will catch the target with some minimal probability. Avaks can provide full support for air combat only in areas bordering the Kyiv and Odessa regions. Well, over the sea. The farther away the helpers are from the borders, the worse and worse the help will be.

There is an opinion that at the beginning of their appearance they will be used exclusively against our air defense and ground targets. This is obvious, because The F-16 can use Air-to-Radar and Air-to-Ground missiles much more effectively than the Su-24 and MiG-29 to which the crests attached the missiles with tape.
3 In terms of detecting the deployment of F-16s, no one has any illusions. The airfield where they will land and from where they will take off will be discovered instantly by the Ukrainians themselves. It is very difficult to confuse a single-engine fighter with someone else. Actions at night may help, but it is unlikely to increase the detection time by more than a couple of hours.
Recently, in the actions of the Russian army, we have seen the unthinkable in the first year of the war. Namely, to destroy enemy aircraft on the ground and enemy air defense systems, a combination of UAVs, missile systems and duty aircraft with X-35s are allocated, which are ready to destroy the target within ten minutes after detection. Moreover, ten minutes is the flight time of the rocket. I think the crests also understood this and will either hide the planes in hangars, fuel cells, shelters, so that if the plane is destroyed in the hangar, they can say “the hangar was empty”, or “it was a mock-up”, well, in general, as usual, or work they will be from rear airfields, or even from abroad, where our UAVs cannot yet fly. We will find them there too, with the same agents and satellites, but with proofs it will be difficult.
Well, in order not to give evidence in the form of burning F-16s, it is unlikely that crests will come close to the LBS.
