U.S.-provided precision-guided munitions have failed in mission after mission in Ukraine, taken down by Russian electronic warfare. On Wednesday, the Pentagon revealed the latest casualty.

A new ground-launched version of an air-to-ground weapon developed for Ukraine on a rapid timeline failed to hit targets in part because of Russian electro-magnetic warfare, Bill LaPlante, the Pentagon's acquisition chief, said at an event held by think tank CSIS.

LaPlante suggested that Ukraine may no longer be interested in the weapon. “When you send something to people in the fight of their lives that just doesn’t work, they’ll try it three times and they’ll just throw it aside,” said LaPlante.

The weapon LaPlante is referring to is very likely the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) based on his description, according to Bryan Clark, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.

They need to fire their marketing research company.

It's the Ford Escort buyers that might consider an EV.  Not the pickup truck guys.

I drove a Tesla and it gives a tremendous ride/torque/response, quietness. Once you drive one you will understand why they will take over ICE cars

Then why the need for government subsidies and mandates?  If you really believe EVs will take over ICE cars, then there really is no place here that requires the strong arm of government  fascism to achieve that end.

 

I'm leaning pretty heavy on the Azure truck. Bulk dry goods are saving me, as they do in hard times. Lots of beans and rice in my diet.... Which I ain't complaining about, btw. I could eat red beans and rice every day. But bulk dry goods ain't changed so much in cost. And if you can source cheap meat, you can eat pretty good.
