Army to ‘ramp up all munitions across the board,’ general says, including specialized missiles

“We are so close to that first battery being fully equipped with all of its capabilities, and I don't want to spoil the surprise when we actually get there, but we're within a few weeks,” Lt. Gen. Frank Lozano said of Dark Eagle.

The Army’s top general in charge of munitions said Tuesday the service was looking to boost armament stocks “across the board,” but singled out some specialized missile systems, one of which has struggled in development, that he expects to make production gains soon.

Lt. Gen. Frank Lozano, the Army’s program acquisition executive for fires, said the service was “within a few weeks” of fully equipping the first battery of a hypersonic weapon system known as Dark Eagle, which was delayed for years and didn’t meet its original fielding timeline of 2023.

The Army’s Precision Strike Missile, or PrSM — which the U.S. used for the first time in combat during the war with Iran that began late last month — will also see a production boost, he said, adding that the service will send “requests for more funding to ramp those munitions up even more.”

“We’re looking to ramp up all munitions across the board,” Lozano told an audience at the McAleese Defense Programs Conference this week. “I want to make sure that we have enough to fight, and fight and win anywhere we need to fight and win on the globe.”

I'm given to understand Chuck Schumer is demanding all new weapons be stored in Russia until republicans consent to a new law which makes all illegal immigrants exempt from all taxes in America, get free healthcare, free housing, a guaranteed annual income 20% above the average American,  free food, free cars and phones, free internet, free education, free clothing, free utilities, free lawn services, free tithing for church, free Bible's, and free weapons to protect themselves from police harassment.

p.s.  He's going to try and get free dogs, free dog food, and free vet care, and pooper scoopers for them too.
