Boeing secures order for 3 more MQ-25A Stingrays (Press Release)

Story here.

The U.S. Navy has awarded Boeing a contract for the low-rate initial production (LRIP) of three MQ-25A StingrayTM aircraft. The three aircraft will make up Lot 1 of LRIP, with Lot 2 planned to be awarded in 2027.

Why it matters: The award for three aircraft brings the total to 14 aircraft under contract and is one more step toward bringing the U.S. Navy’s first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft onto Navy aircraft carriers.

“This award validates our team’s hard work and positions us to deliver additional aircraft with critical capability to the Navy,” said Derek Attwood, MQ-25A LRIP program manager. “We look forward to supporting the customer through the LRIP deliveries.”

The US Army's IFPC. Great magazine capability but it needs to be MOBILE only. Static positions means it will be killed. Leave it on trucks!

Yeah boys. Keep it on trucks and stop putting it on the ground. Even if you move it a couple of miles a day at least its moving. A static target is a target that WILL be killed. Same goes for its radar too!

So Brutus wasn't the betrayer?

Watch Caesar laughing over dinner with his oldest friend. Less than twelve hours later, that friend helps kill him.

"Et tu, Brute?" Caesar never said it. Shakespeare invented the line.

No ancient source has it.

There's a real mix-up hiding under the myth, though. The Brutus… pic.twitter.com/YBDjczO3tl

I wonder why the Poles don't chest thump about this part of their history. Don't get me wrong. WW2 was tragic, a betrayal and renewal (I guess) all wrapped in one but the battle that the Winged Hussars were in is epic and legendary. Legendary I tell ya!

Sorry guys I'm kinda stuck on this one. These guys acted as modern shock troops or at the very least delivered SHOCK ACTION to enemy forces in the same way tanks are supposed to!

A couple of things had me curious about these dudes.

The first is the poles. How the hell could they carry those long lances (Google AI says they were 15 to 20 feet long) while at a full gallop? Well the answer was pretty ingenious. The lances were hollowed out and designed to break on hard impact with the enemy. In a kind of replay back to the Spartan era they were designed to bypass the frontline troops and strike those in the rear.

The next thing was what's the deal with the wings? Again, according to Google AI, there are a couple of theories. They made the riders appear larger. They made a "sound" that frightened enemy horses and troops. They were a defense against lassos that some of the enemy troops employed against horsemen.

I've tried to do a roll call of historians and this is another one of those battles that claims to have saved christianity from being extinguished in Europe.

Long short? Much to my amazement, it appears that christianity and the muslims have been at war for at least 1000 years if not much much more.

The difference between today and back then? Christianity was much stronger as was the call to arms. I think the message is muddled because of modern sensibilities but I have to wonder what percentage of Christians and Muslims see this as a continuation of a long fight or if things have indeed changed.
