Navy Secretary John Phelan recently told attendees at a private dinner that the new frigate would be a modified National Security Cutter. First to be commissioned in 2028.

🇺🇸
National security cutter costs $750 million and takes 3 years to build.

❌️
It's less survivable than LCS, armed with helicopter, 57mm gun, phalanx CIWS.

➕️
Needed to be added: Radar, Sonar, 32 Mark 41 VLS cells, anti-ship missiles, accommodation facilities.

🇫🇷🇮🇹
FREMM costs $750 million takes 4 years to build and all the above mentioned things are already included.

❓️
So unless Navy wants the ship unarmed it will be costlier and longer than just getting FREMM or actually continuing with the original modified FREMM.

I think he will be deported soon

US refused once again German request to integrate GMLRS rockets to Euro-PULS. Both Biden and Trump Admins refused.

🇮🇱
Euro-PULS is modifications of Israel PULS which the approval has.

🇺🇸🛠
US approved up to 55,000 APKWS will be produced for the DoD & FMS customers across Lots 13-17 (FY25-29).

🛠💸
BAE can currently produce 25,000 rockets at price of $25k a year.

❓️
11,000 missile a year is mind-bogglingly low number given its the only cost effective answer to long-range drones.

🇬🇧
Also there are studies to integrate APKWS II to Eurofighters.

🇺🇸❌️💸
Trump will put Navy's 6th gen F/A-XX on lifesupport with only $74 million (16%) allocated instead of $453 million in FY25.

🇺🇸➕️✔️💸
The Airforce's F-47 planned to get $2.5 billion will receive additional $400 million in FY26.

🇨🇳
So much on the focus on China.

🇺🇸💸
U.S. National Debt rose $2.3 Trillion (8.8% of GDP) since Trump took office.

Whole National debt is
$39.3 trillion. Yearly interest payment is $1.265 trillion.

In 2019 there was 1.7% interest on the national debt. Now its 3.4%.

Ukraine seems to have spawned in yet another helicopter type, the AW-109.

🇰🇭🇹🇭 Heavy clashes between Cambodia and Thailand still continue.

The orange retard's attempt for ceasefire has for now failed.

🇺🇦
Deepstate_UA claims soldiers who return from AWOL/desertion are now being sent to assault units, instead of regular brigades, which are undermanned.

There are also reports that the International Legion is being disbanded so that the soldiers can be transferred to the assault forces.

🇵🇹
The Portuguese Air Force has received a whopping €42 million budget for AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM missiles.

😂
That's 40-50 missiles if no support/training is accounted for.
