AWESOME! BOEING WINS!
Ares Blog is reporting that Boeing won the Tanker contest!
Absolutely awesome.
Not because I necessarily care at this point about the contest itself...but because the Air Force actually followed the rules of the competition this time. There is no way that two dissimilar aircraft should have been allowed to compete.
This was the KC-X comp.
Not the KC-Y.
There is no way that the A-330 met the requirements that the USAF laid down.
This my friends is a win for the rules.
Turkey's FNSS wins huge arms deal.
Thanks Jonathan for the article!
via Today Zaman.com
Turkish and Malaysian defense companies have signed a $600 million deal, making it Turkey's largest single sale in defense industry exports. Turkish defense industry firm FNSS signed a deal in Ankara on Tuesday with Malaysia's DEFTECH to sell armored combat vehicle frames to the Malaysian armed forces. Under the deal FNSS will sell 257 armored carrier frames for the Pars 8x8 to Malaysia. The 8x8 Pars armored vehicle will be redesigned by Turkish and Malaysian engineers, and the vehicles will be produced locally in Malaysia. The deal is important for the Turkish defense industry since it is the largest single sale in defense industry exports.I knew the PARS 8x8 looked familiar and the full article points to the US corporation GPV.
Cartwright cleared?
I didn't even know that the Vice Chairman was under investigation. This smells...via CNN.
Marine Corps Gen. James Cartwright, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been cleared of any wrongdoing after an investigation by the Pentagon inspector general in connection with an incident involving a female officer on his staff.Zipper control...or the appearance of a lack of zipper control. How did they keep this quiet?
