US Army Axes Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft Program in Strategic Pivot

Uh-oh, it looks like the US Army has finally pulled the plug on its Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program after shelling out an outstanding $2 billion.

This recent move has ruffled feathers across the defense sector and beyond, especially after gearing up to request another $5 billion over the next five years.

Certainly, the decision wasn’t made lightly. But it’s a clear sign that the winds of war and the tools we use to fight it are changing, and they are changing so quickly that the program appears to be unable to keep up.

Launched in 2018, FARA was the Army’s latest shot at bringing a modern armed recon bird into the skies, aiming to fill the void left by the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
