The “they’re about to find out why we don’t have free healthcare” crowd must be so proud 🥰
"The US has only one accountant with the knowledge to work out the free healthcare bill but she's busy employed as an engineer for Arms Dealers LLC."
I know you’re making a joke, and it’s hilarious, but it reminded me of someone mentioning why universities push STEM so much and it’s because of their link to arms manufacturing.
"condensation can fry the electronics inside the vehicle"
Electronics defeated by rain. They've basically described it as an expensive piece of shit.
Now we know where Tesla hired the engineers who worked on the cybertruck from 😂 https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-no-match-for-car-wash-1851417011
A call with Tesla confirmed that the truck had needed a complete reboot which took over five hours of sitting to complete.
I consider this as a second deal-breaker problem with the truck. How does 5 hour reboot time make sense? That seems as quick as the punch card computers great-granddad reminisced about.
lol yeah you couldn't make a bigger clusterfuck of a vehicle if you tried
A fighter jet without wings.
I cant help but laugh every time a hastily assembled $1200 russian drone smokes a "state-of-the-art" $7M+ capitalist defense industry tank.
This whole war has really been an absolute marketing disaster for the western arms manufacturers. Sure, you can hide these failures from the public, but the states that might buy this junk are going to kick the tires a lot more on a billion dollar order.
Absolutely, it's even more hilarious to watch Yemen spank US navy without even having a navy.
Lol, yeah. That's something to keep in mind while you're unwrapping all those new "gifts", Taiwan.
Sales are nothing compared to the geopolitical hit the US is suffering. The entire existence, or at least, the diplomatic stance, budget/economy, politics of certain nations resides on assumptions made of the efficacy of US-made arms systems to defend them (e.g. Israel, South Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, etc etc).
Totally agree. I didn't mean to imply any actual sales loss as the main effect here, but more that it undermines the entire US/NATO military export economy. All those extremely expensive toys rusting away in the mud has to be a shock to the imperial hubris, even if the west won't openly admit it.
I think the lesser empire managers might be getting a wake-up call that the path of violence and uni-polar domination is not a certain future and these weapons are only a guarantee that you'll probably end up like Ukraine if you try to use them on anyone with the ability to defend themselves.
Meanwhile the Soviet-made T70 is the best performing tank in the war.
T72
That hyphenated aside in the first paragraph is horrendous
lol yeah
